I want to know if messages are lagged on it like the PC, or if they're instant like the PS2. For instance, on the PS2 you see loot scroll on the screen instantly, but on the PC you'll get the treasure icon and you can see the loot in your treasure list, but you won't get the message to scroll into your text window for several seconds.

Meh and another annoying thing, the message on losing an utsusemi shadow to a song or spell takes much longer to appear on your window than one lost to a melee attack. It's very weird.

Here's my guess: The PC version is designed to try to function to all Pcs that have the system requirments, but because you have more programs running, and different types of hardware on it sometimes it can cause things like that to lag, where as the Ps2 version is made to function with specifically the Ps2 only, so it works perfectly on it. Never played on PC either, so it also might be that if u want it to run perfectly u need really amazing hardware. And magic damage also shows up 1 or 2 seconds after it's casted, even on the Ps2, while melee damage is instant.

My hardware isn't amazing now but it was very good 8 months ago, and better than anything available at the time of the game's release. A solid 30 fps according to fraps. Hell, my video card alone has 3x the memory and is many many times the speed of a PS2... I should be able to run 8 instances of FFXI at the same time and get the performance of a PS2.

Go read about good PS2 emulators (or the lack thereof) and you'll understand the power of consoles

I have a PC that is like a tiny God and I still get massively delayed loot lists.

The problems with PS2 emulation has nothing to do with the power of the console, but because it takes a massive amount of (development) work to effectivly translate instructions from one system to another. The amount of effort to make an efficient emulator is many times greater still. Were you to go the other way and make a PC emulator for the PS2, you'd be lucky to run VGA games at any real speed let alone anything made in the last 4 years. A bargain $200 PC now is many times more powerful in any way you could name (other than brand name power!) than a PS2.

BS. On my PS2 almost all my loot messages are delayed, but my PC is normal.

I can tell you that is not it, and I have a fresh xp install with winxp and FF only on it and I still get lag in both loot info in Dynamis as well as Shadow Counting

I haven't tried ultra low resolutions though.
