See that. See that VISUAL PROOF of the error? Correct it. Simple as that Square Enix, simple as that.

I find your voice to be annoying..almost as much as the WoW kid who stuck a remote up his ass.
But yeah it should be fixed!

It is an easy fix - seems the problem is more with writing than returning the actual space available since the game went this long without a "space issue" it's definitely something with the recent update that messed up the writing process.
It's not as dramatic as you made it sound to be but it's something they can easily fix for sure.

Oh thank goodness you posted that video. I almost thought they didn't know for a minute there.

Yes, it is, because obviously the dev team has their head so far of their own ass that they are unable to calculate that 40 - 16 = 24 rather than .9 or less. Or did you not read that interview I just quoted?

For the haters of the fact I made a video on this, take a look at what Pet Food Alpha just wrote:

One thing that I can say is that the longer misinformation exists, the more it becomes accepted fact. This is a lie. You want the truth?

One of the bigger questions in my mind right now however, is how much the PS2 has left in it. With this past update, we started to see the first of space issues on the console’s hard drive. The solution given by Square Enix was to do a clean install of Final Fantasy XI. They’ve since stated that they are working on a solution that will decrease the amount of HDD space needed on the PlayStation 2. But how long will that last? I feel that if another expansion were released at retail, that it could keep the PS2 going a little longer and allow it to see at least one more expansion if not more (which some people may or may not be happy to think about). If a new expansion were to be released for Final Fantasy XI and a disc were available for PS2, the possibility would exist that the game could load assets off the disc instead of the HDD and free up more room on the drive.

But if the FF11 code just checks for the largest free block in the whole partition, then the method can help, provided the block you add is large enough for the update you wanted.
Even so, this problem is likely to come back for future updates, as it is due to mismanagement of the partition. Apparently game updates require completely non-fragmented storage, while the other file handling in that partition is done without proper consideration for how it fragments the free space, and without any method for cleanup.
That is why Square-Enix only suggest that each user with this problem should make a clean install of the game, as that is the only way to get it back to a state where all free space in the FF11 partition is non-fragmented.
If you are to use several different add-ons for the game, then it is probably best to install them all in direct sequence after a clean install, so that no fragmentation of the free space can hinder efficient usage of the partition space.

Sounds like Sony forgot to include any basic hard drive defragging software with the PS2.

So then why is it getting fragmented such a problem? Obviously it's not doing a good enough job.

In essence, SE has left a ton of trash files that the HDD utility disk can't remove because it's not allowed to violate the install's memory space, and the game itself cannot expand the partition to allow more workspace, nor have they provided a routine whereby the software deletes bad files.
In the end, the issue is that SE never considered creating a clean-up routine for bad update files...
So will this continue for every ps2 update or will they be able to fix the files being downloaded from now on?
