As I said earlier, using the PS2 is not an option if you are European, like Peter_20 is.

Laptops aren't that powerful, yet. The desktop replacements have so many hardware issues and would literally burn the sheets of your bed if you had it in your lap. =PQuote:

PS1 emulation works just fine though. For PS2, they're getting there. Many games will run, but have minor graphical glitches. You need a ridiculously powerful PC though, if you want more than 5 fps.
I have a question, I have a toshiba laptop with windows xp on it, and about 7.66 GB on it. Will FFXI run on it or is there any hardware or software i need or could use to make the game run smoother?
The more important specs are: RAM, graphics card, sound card, and processor. Memory isn't very important.
Um, the game is like 8GB or so, so it won't even fit on your laptop.
I'm not really concerned about the space, I can get around that, what I'm mostly wondering about is things like: do i need windows vista for the game, is there any additional software or patches i can get that make it run smoother like directX or something like that.
It fits on lap tops >.>
Only if you have enough spare space, meaning 7-8 GB. And why would you need vista for a 4-year old game?
Uh, what? Not every laptop is the same. >.>;Quote:

No, you don't *need* Vista for this game. You won't need Vista until DirectX10 games start coming out, which will probably be next year. And if your Windows is legit, you can easily download DirectX9.0c from Microsoft's website.
Edit: Let's say that you were able to fit FFXI on your hard drive, you wouldn't have much space left, if any at all. And that is not a good thing.
I never said -his laptop- I said laptops! :P <3
I'm not worried about the space on my laptop
I'm asking questions because i want to get FF11, since i don't have it, or know anybody who has it. I also want to know where I can or should buy the game.
yea PC or if you have xbox live then go 360.
We've answered your questions, so what's the problem?Quote:
