I'm allowed to make jokes!

Besides, isn't having more of the option to do what you want universally better? Why would you need the game to limit it for you?

what i mean is the USA only got the original version of the game. this is the first version they got with the zodiac job system. and really the only difference in this and the ps2 zodiac job system is the names of some of the classes changed. and you can choose a second job later

I tried playing the PS2 version a while back (I have the original disc still). Had to turn it off almost immediately, as the low resolution practically damaged my eyes :claugh:

Even on my laptop I can run this game in 4K @ max graphics (no AA though obviously) if I accept 40-50 fps. I don't know what the PS2 resolution is, but it's way too low for a modern TV. Also, 60 fps in this version. That alone is reason enough to play on PC.

you were probably playing it at 480p. unless you actually swapped it to widescreen

Gotta remember to fiddle with your video settings mang.

It played at the native resolution of the game, which probably is around 480p. 55" LED TV's weren't exactly the norm back when the game came out, so yeah, it looks like ass. If you have an old 28" or something tube TV though, old consoles should work pretty well.

So the problem was your tv?

Have you tried playing a PS2 game on a 55" TV? It's not pretty when you blow up 640x480 resolution on a modern TV. In this case, less is more if you want it to look acceptable. Has nothing to do with my $2000 TV.

Only $2000, eh? Can't you make the display smaller then?

Yeah there are far better TV's out there, obviously. My point is that the size is too big for a game running in such low resolution. Go ahead and try it on your own TV and you'll see.

What I ended up doing was using my disc to create an image which I emulated via PCSX2 on the PC. Played through the game with the emulator and it worked great.
