any1 here play for the ps2? u no how much u have to pay to play on the ps2? gettin this game soon and j/w how much money it is.

post if u no

ive played it on the PS2, it felt much better than playing it on the computer but that alone isnt worth the $100 your looking into putting forward for it. when you buy it for the ps2, theres a few things you need to keep in mind:

1) when you buy FFXI, you buy FFXI + the Hard Drive for the ps2, and on top of that, you might want to buy Chains of Promathia. all that could cost you anywhere from $70.00-$130.00 depending on who and where you buy it from.

2) you'll need a keyboard. lol, just any plan usb keyboard will do. or u can spend hours typing with the analog controller. almost like text messaging, just worse. id say $10.00-$30.00 on this, again depending on who and where you buy it from.

3) and finally, dont forget the monthly charges of using PlayOnline (the browser for FFXI). its, for me, $11.00 a month. content IDs cost, i believe, $10 and some cents, and each additional content ID is $1(or is it each additional character? eh, Lucifer u can clear this up for me).

so, instead of getting it for the ps2, id go ahead and save you $80.00-$160.00 and get it on the computer. if your computer cant play it, just use the $ you had to buy the ps2 copy of ffxi and buy a few upgrades, etc. or if all else fails and you need to play this game, ill welcome you ahead of time.

ok so for the pc is better. k lol. my pc can handle and i was j/w cuz my friend said its like 13 a month and i was wondering if its different from the pc. might get it soon. depending if im still gonna play this when gw comes out

yeah, i wish the charges were lower for using the ps2 version. i really like the feel of playing it on the ps2 though, even though i could just go out and buy a controller for the pc and play it like that(but im to lazy)

$12.95 a Month
$1 for each character after the first
($12.95 includes 1 character)

I play on PC, I think its better for me.
Also if you have the new PS2 (Mini) you can't play it with the PS2 Hard drive. You could get a USB Hard drive (External) for a PC that may work.

IMO ps2 is the best cause its just eaisier, i've used both frequently and i just prefer the ps2

IMO pick a different game to play lol this game is so bad for ppl just not starting becaue the prices are so freaking high in the auction houses due to people that sell the in-game money for RL money

Ugh... It's so expensive to get friggen FFXI

Right

Why the monthly fee would be lower when played with ps2? It's the same game for crying out loud lol.

As for me, I'm in love with the entire FF series, if you can't tell by my avatar! I do prefer it on Ps2, and my favorite of the series is FFX, great storyline, and very entrancing characters.
