Are you talking about the FF11 expansion?

The PS2 seems so iconic, but I can't put my finger on why.

Bought a new PS2 a couple of months ago for my sister to play Persona 4 and FF12. Long live the king.
Because it has the best game library of any system... past, present and future.
End of the best era that's for sure.

It ruled the gen where the third party exclusive was still a thing. And Japanese devs were still pumping out classic after classic.
You end up with some of the best games Capcom, Konami, Square, Namco and SCEJ have ever made. Not to mention Rockstar, Naughty Dog and SCE holding it down in the West.
What a great console.
Gamecube's better stillllllllll

Live in your world, play in ours.
Cool design and equally cool marketing. The games don't really factor into how iconic it was for me. I think even if the console had failed it would have still been an iconic product.

It had a good run, that's for sure. I'm just glad I've been able to accumulate a pretty good library over the years. There's really very little left I still need to get. Amazing library.
Is that Kaz? He used to be fat?

Talk about a run. Great system by Sony.

Every time I see that picture I am always amazed with fat Kaz.
Yep, with a double chin and everything.

I love the hell out of the PS2, but they certainly weren't very reliable. I am on my fifth and even bought another new slim for the day when that one dies. What a JRPG beast of a system!

Yes, Japan is the only region still getting a PS2 release of that expansion.

Uh..
So will someone add another panel with the PS3 saying "I have failed you, Father, I have failed you."?
I don't know. I still think the PS1 had a better library than the PS2.

The end of an era.
Remember like it was yesterday, 10 years back on Christmas day got my own PS2. Loved it from the 1st day, hell I still have it hooked up, catching up on all the gems I missed.
And yet playasia still has 'em priced at over $300!
And PS3 can play all 3 systems worth of games! Truly it is the new king (until it ylod's)!Good thing the PS2 could play those games
PS1 games have aged so much worse than PS2 games though.

It makes me long for the days when games were cheaper to produce so you'd end up getting a lot of quirky and fun mid-range non-AAA budget games. The War of the Monsters, the ATV Offroad Furys, the Splashdowns, the Downhill Dominations. We have the downloadable space where we can still get that kind of stuff, but those tend to be lower budget affairs. Some of my favorite PS2 titles were these kinds of games.

good with gravy
The PS2 completely dominated its generation on every market.
We might not see such lopsided dominance ever again.

So glad I found a new PS2 slim in America a couple of months ago. I don't know why, but I thought they would manufacture these things and sell them to us in the first world for several more years.

Dang, just a little longer and Sony could've had five consoles on the market.

Don't worry, they will debut the PS2 in South America tomorrow
Hardware: Well designed for the most part. It was not unusual to see it on most people's living rooms thanks to the dvd player.
Software: Third party exclusives were still common, and the PS2 got the great majority of them. Sony had also been spending time on their own 1st party projects.
Marketing: The PS2 had the best marketing of any console ever. They made people not want to miss out on the experience, they had to have it.
