To be totally honest, I wouldn't even bother playing this game if I couldn't use windower + spellcast.
for some it is, and to some it is. I honestly want to know where these people live that they can't get to a library or some other sort of resource center once a month or less.
How many people really don't have a computer in their own home by now, besides old people, or even an iPad (or equivalent).
again like I said: more than you would think.

even if they could using billing information on a public computer would be quite frankly stupid.
and no the frame rate/load is slightly enhanced on the ps2.
due to lack of proper porting
The PS2 may handle the load/framerate better than other systems but it still runs the game at an overall lower fps than any decent computer.
Edit~ Yeah Mag a good pc can make the world of difference. About the only place I drop below 28-29 fps is in Port Jeuno around Joachim and even there I only drop to around 24 (with best possible settings).

... Oh geez.
Edit! Also, even if they don't have a PC or don't want to use a public PC, I would bet money a friend or relative would have one. And in all honesty, the whole security issue isn't all that bad if you're buying a gamecard for crysta. Srsly, excuses!

not so sure about that but not sure how I'd go about measuring my fps from a console, nor do I measure the fps on pc.

still have to login to SE account and I wouldn't dare do that on a public computer.
The school I go to is the exception because they have deepfreeze.
Again some people just don't have access to a web browser still in this day and age.

not paranoia, it's not being an idiot. typing in any personal information in a machine that you have no idea what kind of malware is on it is just plain stupid.

I do agree with this to a point, though most properly managed public PCs won't allow you to go anywhere that has a chance of infecting said computer. I'll even wager that the majority of personal computers have more malware, etc. on them than a public computer at a university.
Still though, how hard is it to get a simple (yet horrible) computer from walmart or elsewhere. I mean $200-300 can buy a PC easily.

not any public computer I've seen, unless it has deepfreeze on it I don't touch it.
considering most still use IE and just being connected with that is just a nightmare.
not everyone can access a computer at an university, nor were we talking of those...

I guess I'm lucky then. Just about all public computers around here use either chrome or firefox and if you even try to go to (what I know for a fact are) malware infested sites they block them.
By around here I mean the library in town and the community college nearby. They actually have hidden IE from the uneducated public eye and only left one of the aforementioned browsers in plain view. I can't remember what protection they use though, been almost two years since I've set foot in those labs.

It's paranoia. I'd like to say that for whatever reason I really wanted to disagree with Jet on the whole public pc thing because it felt so wrong, but.. it's actually kind of right.
And with the malware, you can generally~ know when you have something or when something is acting up if you know your PC pretty well.
He's not 100% sure even if he says so, but there's ways to be 'in the know' about it so close to that number that it might as well be.
/shrug
I am 100% sure.

/shrug It's -kind of- right. I'm not saying you should just trust any PC you walk up to and throw in your personal info. I'm not saying to be an "idiot", as he called it, about it. He's just making it so cut and dry. You have to be safe no matter what PC you're using was more my point. Doesn't matter if you're on a public PC or browsing safely at home, ***happens.
I'm also just having fun arguing about it. >:)

you do realize you can get malware just from being connected, right?

not everyone goes to college, is how we weren't talking of those, we were talking of something anyone can access.

Umm... of course? Any time your computer is connected to the internet, you pose some risk of being infected in one way or another. Just it's highly unlikely these days (unless you're already infected).
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
