If I remember correctly, in a PoL Update, SE took out Tetra Master. It is no longer affecting anything. All that is currently present is PlayOnline, and FFXI. TO my knowledge, anyways.

It would be cool if a PS2 user and an Xbox owner could post here giving testimony as to how much space FFXI takes up on their HD.
Right now the entire Playonline folder on my PC which contains all FFXI files is at 10.8 GB. It's probably a little less with pics taken in game etc.
So as of right now with all expansion and addons how much space does FFXI occupy on PS2 and Xbox?(0)

Tetramaster is still installed (in a separate partition). It has no influence on the FFXI install.
Stop blaming PS2 players...
Top 10 Ways to Know You're a PC Snob from 2007...
The 32MB of RAM has no real impact. The PS1 had 2MB of RAM.
And FFXI for the PC Recommend 256MB of RAM. Eight times more that the PS2. So you could assume the PS2 is much more efficient with memory. So obviously the problem is the PC! It's holding the game back! OMIGOD! KILL PC VERSION! Blah blah blah...
No one can prove anything here. It's mindless speculation.(0)Last edited by Laraul; 03-13-2011 at 11:27 AM.

Ok that's interesting. So aside from a possible partition issue or something, there's at least 24 gigs remaining so far.

Yeah those reskins of zones and equipment in the game really have me convinced of that. Oh wait I'm getting trolled.

It has nothing to do with the ps2. Nothing. At all. Reskinning gear/zones requires exactly the same space/memory as brand new zones/gear. It allows them to push out a lot of new content without much effort.

I have the PS2 version, 360 and PC. the graphics / play on PS2 are crap compared to PC/360. Blame it on whatever you want, but i doubt its like that because the PS2 is too powerful.
I think the best outcome here would be if SE recoded the game allowing for expansion of areas gear etc, while still allowing a low detail setting that would run on PS2. I'm sure they could continue the stats like "major" & "Superior" that they use in abbysea to overcome the line limitation on gear etc. I have no clue what specific limitations Coding for PS2 Implies, But I Know that in today's world there is a lot that can be done to compress files etc.(0)

So the reskins isn't just a work around the ps2 limitations, rather it's just SE being cheap and lazy? Gotcha.
