Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

lol, im sorry, the majority of the user base is on PC, an that along side the 360 user base, almost 100% complete user base, as most PS2 users also have the game on another platform...

Id guess the only people that defend this are those that cant afford to buy the game on a second platform, possibly because they spend that money on Gilz, who knows?

Scrap the PS2 version, Supe up the PC version, move the game on...

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

Id guess the people that want to "supe" up the PC version have cheap, 5 year old hardware, possibly since they're gilbuyers and can't afford a decent PC, since the game looks great on my box.

Quote from the article Itazura linked: “The Japanese audience is about 55% of the entire userbase and play the game on the PS2 in a 2:1 ratio compared against the PC version. North America and European Union make up the remaining 45% and prefer the PC version, with a reversed ratio of 1:2.” Just because you know twice as many people that play on the PC than the PS2 doesn't mean you have the slightest clue what comprises the "100% complete user base."

Dear god, these NA onry players.

Most of the Japanese players play the game on PS2. As of the recent survey, about 50% in total, worldwide play on PS2. SE, a Japanese company, are NOT going to drop support for PS2 no matter how much you whine about it. You can say most people use PC to your hearts content, doesn't make it fact.

For the record, EU players didn't get an option - PC or Xbox360 only. I don't want it on a nearly £500 console thank you very much.

Excuse me, but where the hell did you buy your skull from? I've been interested in obtaining a lead one to put on my shelf.

since the game looks great on my box.

FFXI is beautiful, don't get me wrong, it's art direction is timeless, It's like Paper Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog (dear god, not for the 360), it's always beautiful. Still, better graphics is hardly ever a bad thing. Look at katamari- yes, the first two games looked wonderful, but they're *improving* still, without ruining their style, that's all people want out of FFXI. Nobody is expecting FF13 or GoW levels, but at least something like Doom 3 would be nice.

EDIT:

Wait wait wait, what?! The 360 is nearly $1000 over there?! I thought even the PS3 was only like 800 some odd USD. I'm hoping you used the wrong symbol there...

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

I'm certainly not going to argue away better graphics if they want to give them to me, but the assertion that SE should "scrap" 25-50% of its users to that end is asinine and insinuating that playing on a PS2 makes you a gilbuyer is beyond asinine.

Edit: Oh and I should add, the first sentence in my previous post was satire. It doesn't represent my position on the matter.

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

So you started off this thread with ...

... this game could have better graphics than WoW by now with alot more content and new races and places, etc etc if it wasn't for the PS2.

... and towards the end, you came up with...

I enjoy the game and think it has better graphics, art style, gameplay, and storyline than any other MMO imo...

Right...

And if you say it doesn't matter, what was the point of this thread to begin with?

If you want to make a point, its best not to try to do it with a service that requires membership.

Lego, I got that.

And Mhurron, your new avatar is weird and scary.

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

No, Feba, I was talking PS3 - most places I see it, it is £400 for the very basic packages - 360 is a reasonable price don't worry.

I'm sour atm in regards to money, I just paid £800 for my damn car to be fixed. Yup - $1600...

No, Feba, I was talking PS3

Oh, alright, I was gonna say, that seems way too high for a 360.

I figured you did, but your replied seriously to part of it, and I replied seriously to that and I wanted to make sure nobody else construed me as defending the rest of the sentence.

Also, Mhurron's Asuka avatars = win.

That was the point. It just sucks I had to actually find that frame in the movie and take the screenshot myself.

Re: Anyone gettting fustrated with the ps2?

I still have to play on PS2 at times for PvP and to level jobs outside of RDM/BRD/COR due to macro restrictions...really my only qualm is switching from 360 on a HDTV back to my PS2 is kind of like being punched in the eyes at first, but I get over it. I started on PS2, as did a hell of a lot of the player base. I don't think the game is really being 'held back' at all. It looks fine, and even with the way things are now they're stepping up the animation at times(see the Serpentking Saga quests).

If you have up-to-date hardware, the PS2 isn't holding back the game from looking any better to you, and if SE dropped the PS2 the game would quickly go bankrupt, then you and your mediocre PC would have to go play WoW.
