Will There Ever Be A 5th Expansion Pack?

I do hope they release a PS Vita version in all honestly.

i wish theyd add the orc homeland to the north, i think that would b an awsome area to play

How do you have a different meaning of the word sprite? A sprite is literally a pre-rendered 2D figure. It has height and width, No depth.

That's like saying you have a different interpretation of what a bird is.

So it's not so much you have a different meaning of the word sprite, you actually have no idea what it was in the first place and sided bad examples of games that supposedly extensively use them and are now trying to save face and failing miserably.

And you seriously are getting severely whooshed in regards to the PS2 not needing the disc to run FFXI. I was referring about how since you're still wanting to use the overheating meme with Xbox consoles, I'll still use the DRE errors the PS2 was plagued with for the 99.99% games that did require using a disk on first generation consoles. Just look up PS2 Disk Read Error. Read up on how they never even gave you a free repair for those issues, just a 25$ game of your choice from a predetermined list and a 100$ repair cost. If you had a RRoD or overheating Xbox 360 that is less than 3 years old, you got a free replacement

You know it's pretty clear to me now that you're one of those fan boys (ps3) that will close their eyes, cover their ears and scream la la la when giving the contradicting facts. FFXI is a PS2 game, the PS2 hardware is inferior to 360 hardware.

Hell it was inferior to Xbox hardware spec for spec. Stop arguing that a system that higher processing power couldn't run a game built for a system that's a decade older. Good.. God.. Man.

You can give the PS2 processor all the fancy words you want like Emotion but it's still a much weaker processer than what comes on a 360. They have a system of rating for that called Mhz and Ghz. Nevermind the VRAM and system RAM.

You're like the dude that rolls up at a drag strip with a 95 Civic inline 4 with a 1.5l displacement and think you're going to win against a 2010 SRT Charger cuz your engine's got Vtec yo! So mystical and mysterious that vtec.

Also, Dynasty Warriors Gundam and Lego Star Wars were cross platform. They weren't made for a specific system. Let's not get started on the amount of cross plat form games that ended up crap on the Ps3. Like Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. How's the "extensive sprites" working out for you there? Whatever YOUR interpretation of a sprite is.

Both consoles have their pros and cons. I would know. I own both. I prefer PC by far.

Plus, you said Failbox, My pre-assumptions of you being a blind fan boy were accurate. Go back to your mystical cell processor and stop talking about crap you have no idea about.

Or us digging into the new UI's code. There is a lot of potential in this UI update and I hope many share some of its data with the community.

The only way to do an early detection if this is gonna cause a problem is when they put this on the test server. If the "special" method still works to use windower on the test server in order to test any potential crashes, then we can plan in advance. Until then, we just play the waiting game.

I miss when the thread was about the OP's topic and not a random console war on theories and speculation.

SNES is clearly the superior console here, I'm not sure why we are even debating over this :(

I love you. Saxually (See avatar).

In my defense, the topic may have intended to be a question if there will be an expansion when in reality it was a disguise for people to QQ about how much FFXI has sucked as of late. But yeah I'm done arguing with that guy >.>

Also, I hope Windower does in fact not get effected with the new UI interface. I fritz when Spellcast isn't working, nevermind Windower altogether.

My 2nd gen 360 would love to have a word with you I used to leave it on for days when I played on it. That still doesn't change the fact that the 360 specs would indeed run FFXI without a problem if it was properly ported over.

Kinda not really related to the argument lol. Thanks for trying? (Really not trying to sound rude lol).

would be the only way that thing ever makes any real sales currently, not enough software available to make it a viable purchase currently.

The argument is that the 360 would overheat or that is implied by melting... considering the stuff I put my 360 2nd gen through when I played on it and the console is still kicking years later without a problem. it is related to the argument.

yeah im sure the release of an aging 10 year old mmo on a handheld would just cause sales to skyrocket.
/sarcasm.

The Phantasy Star Online 2 crowd hyped hardcore when they announced a Vita version that plays on the same servers as the PC. Given it's a new game... it would be a smart move in my opinion to do a PSP version. It's just another excuse for the remaining population to buy a copy of the game yet again.

I refer any character model that appears on the screen as sprites, you can blame Reboot.

as for your second comment, the bible would like to have a word with you (bats are birds according to it etc, lol just for the lulz here)

I have several first gen ps2's and never had this issue, although I know of it and it can usually be fixed by adjusting the potentiometer on the bottom of the lens (need a multimeter to see safe range though).

Not all 360's got that luxury, and the replacement doesn't help as I replaced one TWICE and it still did it, and every 360 I have owned, even the new slims still continue to do this. I'll take adjusting a potentiometer of having to reball a board any day.

I'm by no means a fanboy, the ps3 has no game, and the ps3 has the same issue just they managed to fix it for the most part and much faster. (I have other beef with the ps3).

I never said that the PS2 was better than either of those systems, but the first XBox didn't have enough exclusive titles to make it worthwhile to obtain, it's best use is XBMC, like the ps3 it had no game.

the 360 still couldn't handle XI properly coded or not, it can't handle the stuff that's coded for it properly in the same category of "sprites" (yeah I'll use that word again).

I know all about the ps2's hardware, and it really had nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

I would never buy a dodge or a civic, but thanks for playing.

Cross-platform or not they were coded for those systems, you obviously don't understand what a dev kit is.

I don't play western rpg's so I've never touched skyrim, but thank you.


Again I'm by no means a fanboy, I just call it how it is, the 360 is a failbox and the ps3 has no game (and mine's currently in a state of ylod again...) (BTW I repair them both, just an fyi...)

so you're the only one here who is speaking of things they don't know about...


sweet, (obligatory family_guy_thewaitinggame.jpg)


I love my SNES, I wish flash carts weren't so damn expensive, that's why I'm getting a Raspberry Pi, going to see if I can port Snes9x on it and attach a screen and build a case/controller, bam portable snes.


I have several gen 360's and they all have failed miserably, and I treated them all well.

So, no your "fact" isn't fact...

I.... did not know about Raspberry Pi.... I... may have to buy one... I'm intrigued.

EDIT: lol i just Captain Kirk'd unintentionally.

lol this thread is still going on...damn senkyuutai and jetackuu talk like they sniff FFXI lines daily xD!

The only thing that bothers me about the argument is that it's pure speculation. You can't install windows on a 360... so you can't physically know for an actual fact that the system couldn't handle the PC version of the game without melting.

Until someone bypasses the security and makes it possible to test... some points and statements are pure biased personal opinion.

could also eliminate "PS2 limitations" nonsense by adding support....but Vita only works with PS3? or is it any PSN connected device?or is it a standalone device and i know nothing about this new "console" :<

The PS vita is an extremely powerful hand held system... your thinking of the remote play capability which requires the PS3.

Look into the PS vita specs... that thing is a monster.

hrm...possibilities

I want a expansion that will 100% overwhelm me with stuff to do not be done with the content in less than a month. Missions, new AREAS not a new area. I want new city new auction house, new everything overhaul baby. Keep me going. I know there is still ALOT of content that has potential to fit into this game. Including monster races from old games avatars, weapons, weaponskills, even breaking 99 cap! sounds crazy but legion is a bit unbalanced to use at 99 even with 36 members all relic and decked out I find beating 2 waves and a boss not something people of this game generation can do. Even einherjar was easy at 75. What do you expect from us for legion. Square enix broke linkshells apart with abyssea, now they are making us rebuild, but the damage has been done. 70% of the experienced players moved on to other things and or just gave up on where this game was going. We are now stuck with Abyssea born players, those who don't understand game mechanics or how to conserve mp, use magic burst have gear swaps. People these days are lazy. We need to have something more user friendly for majority or figure out a way to get us all on the same page. I think they need to rebuild the population, then work on a way for people to become more friendly and experienced in the game. A way where people can learn to work together for the same goals. Would be a nice start for the rehabilitation of final fantasy.

I ordered mine near the end of march, anyone who ordered before 4/18/2012 should get theirs by the end of June. (there was a delay due to compliance testing etc) I'm going to love when I get mine, I already have my sd card, I am tempted to buy a keyboard/mouse combo but I'm not sure if the logitech combos would work or if I'd need to find somebody to write a driver. I could just use a basic usb keyboard/mouse but that's no fun.

As for Calnus: I've fixed enough 360's to know that they melt under just about anything, it's a safe bet really.

should come out with an expansion so they can show capes/mantles

and orange jackets

as much as most of us would love this it's an unrealistic dream. the cost/profit margin just isn't there to justify it, SE is a business. However if one were to make a deal with them to directly fund such a project... hmm they are JP, some of them do understand loyalty to their customers.

Sadly I've replaced parts in them myself. Yes they have a notorious past with overheating. But the system itself is more than capable in my opinion. As stated several times it's pure speculation that we will have to agree to disagree.

Until we can install windows and try it.. neither of us can argue it as fact.

Also... I think I'm ordering a Raspberry Pi sometime soon lol... that looks so amazing to play with.

Spacing. I think you need a new game lol

they are making steps into taking off hoods for aesthetic reasons.....

if one were to mod it and put proper cooling and solder on it, sure, but a vanilla 360 na.

why does it need windows for that?

as for the Pi, order it sooner than later, but be expecting to wait.

Yes I tend to rant and forget to use spacing, please forgive me lol.
