PS2 Limitations: What are Rumors, What is Truth?

[Effilil]

1. if HDD partition size is a problem for the PS2 version, SE might be thinking of a way of expanding that partition size for new content
2. I would love a PS3 version of the game to appear....I've been wanting to see one since PS3 came out...it would end up being just a port of the game over from PS2/pc/hexbox (laugh, the rrod on xbox's are the reason it's been dubbed "hexbox"), but it might bring some new players into the game
3. yes, the game is 9 now, but that doesn't mean it's old and clunky....Nintendo has had amazing sales porting games from 20+ years ago to the DS....including the original Final Fantasy games...and many are still better than most new games IMO
4. (unrelated, but sort of on topic) PSU died for ALOT of reasons that have nothing to do with what platform it was on....Phantasy Star Online is still out there, and has a solid playerbase, even if it is kept alive by the players, and think about how old that game is (it's a Dreamcast game..a system that still gets new games in Japan too)
5. it will take time to implement any changes to the format, and yes, it will cost money....Rome wasn't built in a day, and it sure as heck wasn't built for free
6. I'm sure SE has had debates about all of this at meetings already....they're not thinking of ways to annoy/bore/irritate the players...they're trying to think of ways to keep us playing the game we all love, even if some tasks irritate us because of the repetitious nature of them

PS2 may force limits on what the programmers can do for the game, but in the end, it's the players who really make or break the game
I for one am going to play until the last servers are finally shut down

As for RROD, true if you have the older model but my friends have almost all of them had to replace the original PS3 that came out. YLOD + RROD apparently color deaths are on both.

As for Phantasy Star Online in Japan, that's only the Blue Burst version aka the PC version.

It doesn't actually get true games. A company has been making littleish games on it the past two years and that's about it.

And players don't make the content they just pay for it.
Obvious is obvious.

PS: FFXI with out the PS2's shackles will improve the entire game as a whole.

Fortunately for ps3 owners SE would never turn its back on the user base.
