we already get better graphics. you ever try playing the game in 1920x1200 with 2048x2048 background resolution? it looks amazing. You can also play in 720p on the the X-Box 360. So yeah, you can get much better visuals than a PS2 on any other option.
Can also adjust options on your vid card software, like AA, etc.
AA doesnt work too well with FFXI. It actually makes the text and edges blurry. Anisotropic filtering makes it look nicer though.

This entire thread could be an example of why there are Apple "Geniuses". Technology is hard. =(

I predict that SE will eventually have an NA PS2 option for the new expansion, but it will come after much complaining and after people are visibly upset by their JP>NA shenanigans. I mean seriously could they not see that by not having the trailer read PS2 at the bottom along with xbox and PC would cause a huge ***storm? I mean the PR guys have to be half HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to not think that kinda ***through.
Also all of the arguments for buying a pc because its really cheap are really pointless. I played on a ps2 since NA release, and I've played on PC several times also. I and I'm sure most of the folks that still play on ps2 , do it because we PREFER to play on the ps2, not because we cant afford a PC that can run it, or because we're all secretly trying to hold the game back, or whatever other ludicrous theories you folks have.
If they dont support ps2 eventually, then have fun Xbox users while it lasts, because you're next on the chopping block! The sad thing is I know that 5 years from now if all ps2 support is dropped folks will still blame game mechanics on ps2 limitations...

They're better overall because they can spell "Bot".

the Verified by Visa and whatever the MasterCard one is crap they tried to combat RMT with for PC users in 2008 didnt stop us from playing. I even had to buy the 360 version to get around it, I didnt mind since I already had a 360 and found a copy of FFXI for $15. Many other PC users found a way. PS2 users should too.

The point is, if they are still "supporting" it, it means it truly hasn't be dropped yet. Dropping it means they wouldn't even let you play the game period on PS2.

the ps2 can output in 720p, depending on the game, and of course you'd need a component cable instead of the composite.

It will always be PS2 limitations as long as the game is an emulation of a PS2 game.

But by default you have two options either you switch systems or you quit right? I guess you are right they now that I say it like that it isn't "Forcing" they are giving you a "Choice" my apologies sir.

You are right giving people a choice isnt forcing I just learned it today so sorry. IF they arent making new content for it but are for the other systems sounds like not supporting to me.

oh and as to the earlier comment about bandwidth: it's cheaper than having discs pressed, licensed, sold etc.

they aren't forcing anyone to do anything, they just are unable to provide the expansion in disc form for the US PS2 users, they'll have to distribute it another way, probably through POL.

yeah, if you called SE customer support directly you can have one of their reps do it for you, but I didnt feel like sitting on hold for 2-3+ hours. At that time most if not all Bank's Debit cards werent supported by either system, so it did cause a lot of problems for the PC playerbase.

| Greetings,
I’d like to take a moment to clarify which platform Seekers of Adoulin will be available on for those that have been asking. We will continue to support North American FINAL FANTASY XI players on the PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and PC (Windows) platforms. However, FINAL FANTASY XI: Seekers of Adoulin will only be available on the Xbox 360 and Windows platforms in North America when it is released in 2013. | |
