For those of us who still support the PS2 version of FFXI

[Mordanthos]

This cannot happen. The disc for Wings of the goddess isnt even produced anymore by SE. I have 1 computer and me and wife are gamers, and it was becoming a real issue when we both wanted to play something. So i decided to rip out the PS2 and the ffxi i bought for it when it first came out, only to find out i had all expansions except for Wings of the Goddess. I spent a week tracking down this freeeeeeking game only to find out, its not produced anymore. I had to buy a copy from Amazon.com for 50 dollars. As big a hassle as it was, i did finally get wings installed on my PS2 and have all expansions for it. But if u notice, on the game ordering section of the playonline site, they offer the games for PC and GAYBOX 360, nothing for PS2 except for original game. They dont produce PS2 ffxi games anymore, if i were u, id ebay, or Amazon that crap before its too late, or ur stuck having to buy a gaybox 360.

As an extra note, for some reason when i was looking for copies of Wings of the Goddess for the PS2 on amazon, the other expansions were like, 9 bucks, and wings of the goddess was 50 dollars, kinda irked me i got stuck with the one that had to be 50 dollars. But warning to those who wish to seek this game for PS2. Your prolly looking ata total cost of about 300 dollars probably, since the HD and game will prolly be the most expensive piece u get aside from the 89-99 dollar PS2

GAYBOX 360

Oh you're clever.

Unfortunately some people are not as well off as others, I know PS2 is holding FFXI back and if they were to Cut FFXI from Ps@ some might just quit anyway $200 could be a little too expensive to a player just to play one game.

Most people already have a computer that can play ffxi just fine.

Almost everyone that doesn't could get it to run ffxi just fine with the addition of a $10 video card.

Oh you're clever.

U dun have to be jealous of my awesomeness

I stopped bothering with system favoritism a long time ago, I just said screw it and bought all of them -.-

but yeah SE might still "support PS2" but I can tell you it is hard as hell to find the discs, that is why my backup is now Xbox360

[Krashport]

No, SE shouldn't drop PS2 support. All that would achieve is losing their entire PS2 player base.

I'm not speaking for the "Entire" PS2 player base, but maybe some.. I think a lot already had come to terms and understanding that its time to retire PS2 let FFXI grow! We're getting add-ons whatever happened to those Expansion packs.

No, the game isn't going to look any prettier (overnight or over time)
No, you aren't going to see an increase in FPS
No, DX9+ support won't happen
No, the UI won't change
Yes, your game will just be the same game it has been for the last 8 years, minus the PS2 users.

The most that anyone would get out of losing PS2 support is POSSIBLY a little bit more inventory space and the ability to autotranslate your key items and the new weaponskills.

I except your assumption, but I don't agree.
Reason why I disagree, Your not making any facts as to why FFXI wouldn't improve.

Back on topic:

I've installed FFXI twice on my PS3 (using software backwards compatability) that includes all expansions up until WOTG. Never ran into a problem. I installed them using each individual installation disc, because I bought them as they came out.

I see you upgraded to PS3 > "Come to terms and Understanding" Good Job! ^^b

Grab yourself a $10 Logitech game pad controller. Easy to config and works fine on Win7.

I guess your only option is to find one online and have them ship it to you. ><
