      Re: Someone explain this to me.

      They didn't completely redo it from scratch for either the PC or the 360, and I seriously doubt they'd have to for the PS3. I'd imagine the original port to the PC was a hefty amount of work. From there to the 360 probably wasn't that bad. From the original and/or one of the current versions (mix and matcH) to the PS3 probably wouldn't be that bad, either.

      There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

        They state explicitly that porting the game to the ps3 would REQUIRE redeveloping the game from the ground up. They said that it would take 2-3 years. They also state that it wasn't a problem for the 360, because "The Xbox 360 operating system shares enough similarities with Windows, he said, so that porting the Windows version of FFXI to the 360 was a fairly quick task."

            Damn, I want that interface... Oh well... And Windows -> Xbox360 makes sence, because their both made by Microsoft, I think.

                I stand corrected on the PS3. While I'm aware this is basically marketing speak for "hell no," Tanaka doesn't say it won't be ported to the PS3. Just that it's unlikely and that it definitely won't be a launch title.
