PS2 Limitations: What are Rumors, What is Truth?

[Rezeak]

The only potential issue with the ps2 is storage space thats it lol and even then i'm sure there work arounds like an option to uninstall old/unused content maybe who knows.

The main reason that there isn't gonna be another big expansion has nothing to do with ps2 limitations it has to do with a lesser player base meaning newer content has a smaller budget so old content being revamped or reused is the best way to get a large amount of content for a small price.

There was no zone cap to begin with they used 1 byte of data for the reference for each zone and once there reach the limit they just remade it so that it used 2 bytes instead or so i've read.

The problem with auto translate and items is probably more to do with them being hard wired into the game commands in such a way they can't be altered because it's prolly coded in such a way u'd need to probably debug the entire game or something along those lines or a ram issue like rog said.

Honestly theres no real issue with items anymore since locker, satchel and sack and the addition of the porter moogle and Auto translate honestly it does what it could potentially do anyway no amount of expansion on it will allow me to chat to other language more than it does already there some optimizing for SE to do on useless text like controller buttons and such.

At the end of the day the Dev team should really just comment on the questions asked so we can just leave this pointless discussion.

Either way do u really Squareenix will recode FFXI because it will take money and it can only come from what we spend on the game atm which is used for major updates which would mean we'd choose a year without any real update where even more pple will just give up on FFXI for a new FFXI which would need to be resold and compete against FFXIV?

And even if they did drop ps2 they'd prolly just say programming,xbox360,xp limitations next.
