[Red XIII FFVII]

Hello all, I'm totally new to this game, but not to mmorpg's. I'd played Everquest for about 3 or so years. I've currently been off for like a year. Man, I miss it! I actually haven't bought FFXI yet, but I am going to. The only reason I had to quit playing everquest was because my computer got way outdated. I think its AWESOME that you can play this game on a PS2... my only concern is that is will be really laggy and slow on the PS2. So I have a question for the people playing on a really good pc. Can you tell when someone is using a PS2? Is it annoying? Just curious, cuz I don't wanna buy all the things neccessary if it's going to be slow and laggy. One more question, if you are in a highly populated area (bazaar), while using a PS2 compared to say a 256mb ram computer, which one will be laggier (if thats a word)? On the contrary, what about the 360? I know nobody can answer that one, but that is actually what I plan on doing come April 18, buy the 360 and FFXI. Thanks for the input and I look forward to seeing people in game. Take care now.

Either fork ova the dough for a new Machine, or wait for the xb0x36o.

There is no difference for people on PS2, nor is their any difference to PC players from users on PS2's... besides system specific terrain glitches.
I say wait for xb0x36o cuz it'll come with a re-vamped graphics package that supposed to r0xx0r PS2's and the current PC graphics.
As far as lag goes, if your system meets specs for good play, then it all falls on your internet speed and Net Connection. If you buy a Machine, buy a 1gLAN card. Otherwise, it'll at heavy traffoc times.

Whatever you decide, enjoy.


***edit***

and please, whatever you decide, PLEASE, don't name your character after someone/thing from previous FF titles. You're only gonna get pointed out by other people in their LS's nd laffed at. FoReWaRnInG.... ooooo00000OOOOOO

hahahaha, thanks for the advice man! I'm not sure what I was going to name myself, but I wasn't going to go to extremes to make my name look like a previous name from FF titles like "Kl0wd Stryf". I try to keep the names plain and simple. And once again, thanks for the tips, looks like im waiting for the 360, now I just have to hope I can actually get my hands on the system itself!

Re: /wave

i play on both the ps2 and on my pc, and i find the lag not bad on my ps2. the game is surely playable. the only time i start to have lag issues is in the city of jeuno (a central marketplace), but i get the same lag on my pc there as well.

Re: /wave

Cool, thanks aegina, thats good news for me. Because my computer is only 128mb ram, its old school. I do realize though, with the money i'm forking out to by the Xbox 360, game, and X box live subscription I could juice up the comp. But I wanted a 360 anyways, besides I own a DELL, and they charge out the *** for their upgrades, since its rombus or rumbuss ramm I have to buy 2 ramm chips.. please excuse my computer lingo, cuz I really have none... but i think you got the point if you know stuff about comps.
