LOL if the only option he had to play FFXI on when he first started playing was PC, I believe that thread may never existed.
Odd thing to say but when I imported an NA version of FFXI (eleven years next month incidentally) there was no NA ps2 gamers as it had not been released yet.
It wasn't on official EU release either but that didn't stop a bunch of us buying it on pc and trying it anyway. :D
Maybe I should get a present from SE for having my account open for so long? o.0
Anyway it sounds like that guy was so attached to his ps2, he didn't want to stop using it and found things a bit weird when it came to the change over then decided to rant over it.
Poor guy, I know how he feels when I get attached to one verison of windows and get all my programs working perfectly then they stop supporting it in favour of something new.
They recently ditched XP which was a great system and even windows 7 (which is still supported) but I hate windows 8 with a firery passion.
