Well what can they say? What do you wanna hear? I mean really theres only a few ways they can answer.

1.) Get the old PS2
2.) We are not sure on the issue(this here is DEATH)
3.) Get the PC version

Be also aware that the PS2 game came with the HDD, and the HDD was released on the same day as the game if i remember right, there was no way they could have known. As for FFXI being released in Japan, maybe the above was their train of thought. But what can they do? Should they not release the PS2 version in NA and lose alot of customers?

I dont argue, i just present my points because that is really what i feel looking at it logically. I just dont agree with what you said because it sounds somewhat unfounded and you havent really thought about being in SE's shoes. If you indeed have something that can prove your point that SE is stupid for releasing FFXI on the PS2, and its valid i will consider and will note what you say.

And...unlike Sony, SE doesnt suck giant monkey schlub
