PC and PS2 FFXI
: Well,
: : After playing with the PC version at work for almost a week I fell in love : with it. Then, decided to buy a new PS2 and the HDD so I can continue to : play and level up at home. Here are some personal thoughts: <snip> : : Conclusion, if I had known the PS2 had such shortcoming graphic wise, I : would of passed on it and just get another PC. But again, that's just my : personal experience. It is playable (barely), but its not as enjoyable as : the PC version. As far as keyboard and mouse, I connect a wireless setup and : was able to have all the functions as no limit my distance. This is nice to : have. So, for doing quest, I'll be using the PS2 and for battles, I will : definitely go with the PC. Lets just put it this way, I think I spoiled : myself with the PC version before the HDD came out. PC=highest possible : resolution, HHD/PS2=lowest PC default resolution. : : Technostorm : i just purchased the FFXI on the HDD. I intend to use the PS2 component video into a 21" LCD component TV. are you saying THAT is bad graphics because the PS2 is limited to 480i HDTV resolutions ? I have FF X-2 component video into LCD - looks pretty great. Guess i'd like to know what your baseline IS for your opinion. define your terms please. ** No Fate ** cheers, dracman Tomb Raider: Shotgun City http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb.htm http://www.smokeypoint.org/traod/traod.html http://www.smokeypoint.com/tombraide...r1pictures.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/tombraide...1midaspics.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/uzi.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb2.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/medipak.htm **savegame editors all versions Tomb Raider & TRAOD godmode http://www.smokeypoint.com/tr2code.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/3dfx.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm ** Win2k and winXP hi-res with TR1 http://www.smokeypoint.com/glidos.htm ** Tomb Raider 1 add on UB levels http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb2.htm#Tova ** GTA III vice City Character MOD http://www.smokeypoint.com/uzi.htm#gta3 .................................................. ...............

Doesn't matter how high quality a TV you are viewing it on. You can't look
at a 32x32 JPEG on a 19" monitor that cost $1,000,000 and is the best in the world and get a good image on it. Compare it to what FFXI looks like on your PS2 to what it looks like on a middle of the pack gaming PC with a half decent 17" or 19" CRT. Notice how amazing it looks in comparison. -- website: http://www.demonlag.com AIM: FrznFoodClerk |

Old Dr Richard Cranium, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were:
WTF is the big deal about LCD televisions? The image quality has always looked like shit on any of the ones I've seen -- Sony, Sharp, Philips, whatever. Methinks they have scaling problems -- like how crap 800x600 looks on a TFT screen designed to be run at 1024x768. I'll stick with my trusty old Wega CRT, cheers ta. -- Jonathan McArthur http://www.satoriday.tk/ & http://sleepydemons.blogspot.com/ "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, does not go away." -- Philip K.

hello jonathon,
really that wasn't a question. component out of the PS2 into a 36" to 50" component TV looks great also. Seems like someone has to spend more $$ than the entire PS2 costs to get close to quality video ? reckon the x-box is the same way. scaling ? sounds like a personal prob. Wega is another great method to display video - you multi-av ? or just rf ? ** no fate ** dracman http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm : Old Dr Richard Cranium, look at my life, I'm a lot like you were: : > i just purchased the FFXI on the HDD.
