          PC. Why?

          1- Better Resolution.
          2- HDTV compatability. Yes, I actually hook my PC to a HDTV and I play it on there. *grins* I can pretty much say it's the XBOX360 on my Desktop (Set it to 1024x768 using Peebles' tools, both the 3D and the Overlay resolution. You will be amazed at the difference in picture... Oh, and use VGA when it comes to HDTVs. S-Video sucks).
          3- I don't have to get off my butt to turn on/off the PS2 to play FFXI.
          4- I can play my own music in the background. Surely you get tired of the bagpipes in San d'Oria and would rather listen to Beethoven's Symphony #5, right?!
          5- It was out before the PS2 version and I wanted to play it so bad.
          6- I can actually use the screenshots instead of idly letting then stay on the PS2.

          And last but not least...

          7- I wanted a new video card too, so this came with it.
          Almost four years experience playing FFXI. I am a Raccoon, not a Hyena--despite my name states I am one.

          Get creative and pretend these happened.

            WOW! I'm actually quite surprised at the results from this poll! There's more of you who play FFXl on the PC than those who play on PS2.
            Originally, this game was made for the PS2, and so I would have thought that the outcome was that more of you played on the PS2, but no.
            I wonder why playing FFXl on PC has become very popular all of a sudden?

            I voted for the PC, as I do not own a PS2. That is my only reason for playing FFXl on the PC, which I use mainly for other things like the internet too.

                  PC, because getting a HDD for PS2 at the time this game came out wasn't an option for me.

                    No, it was originally on the PS2. I believe it was first released as a PS2 game in Japan with the Windows version following that release several months later. This is the reason why SE points to the PS2 as being the main reason why the game development is limited. When the game was released in North America, the Windows version was released first, but not because it was intentional. Sony delayed the shipping out of the first hard drive addons and that caused the PS2 version of FFXI to be released several months later.

                    To answer Snowball's question, the reason why there are so many players that have the Windows version is because of the fact that many players, including the Beta Players, could not wait several months for the release of the game and instead spent the money to upgrade their existing PCs or bought a new one in order to play the game. The popularity snowballed from there once word got around at how uncommonly good the game was at that time and with the free trial offer (1 month of free play) many players, EQ veterans as well, jumped on to the scene.

                      I play on PS2. I'd rather play on it than on my PC for several reasons.

                      When I'm playing FFXI and trying to do a quest/mission/etc. I can easily slide over to the computer in my room and look something up. The controls are superior to the PC version. I tried out FFXI on the computer once, and decided that I'd stick to my dualshock. I also never hurt my back sitting in an upright position for hours on end like you will on the PC, I can just lay on my bed and play like that, much more confortable.

                      The resolution compared between the PC and PS2 isn't that drastic. Yes, the PC naturally looks better, but not by that much, unless someone is playing on a "Jesus" computer.

                      I also didn't like the idea of buying more RAM for my computer. I've already have tons used up from all the games I have on it, so buying FFXI for the PS2 has helped me save money; by just buying the HDD for $100 instead of going to a computer store and paying triple that for new RAM and/or Video Card.

                      If I want to listen to different music, I can just as easily turn on my stereo. Also, you can access the Screenshots you take with the PS2 by simply e-mailing them to yourself, and then saving them to your computer, I do it all the time. And as for "getting up and turning off the PS2", it shouldn't be that far of a walk, because of the length of the controller cord and keyboard. I never get up and turn my PS2 off, I just type: /shutdown, and i'm done.

                        I have it on PS2 right now. Hopefully I'll be getting a new computer soon and when I do, I'll probably get it for computer also.

                          if this poll lands in a japanese ffxi forum i am sure PS2 will have more people playing on it then PC compare to here. As in japan PS2 ffxi was release there first and most japanese own a PS2 then a computer so mostly they be playing on PS2.

                          personally i am playing on a PC

                            I'm on the PC version... once i finally get around to setting it up. >_>
                            PS2 version wasn't released over here, I don't think.

                              You can always order it at any gameshop. Over here, it wasnt in the store itself either. I had to order it at the store. Took 2 weeks
