Will Microsoft get Square? J. Allard is giving lots of subtle and subliminable (hehe) Messages! But I think not because Square usually becomes someones ***** for 2 generations. NES and the SNES, and then PSX and PS2. They are already making PS2 games. So if there is support for the Xbox, thats OK. There main focus will be the Ps2. But what about Microsoft\'s Strategery
-
ff XI will be on xbox, and it will be playable online between xbox and ps2 versions, lets hope they throw in the pc version too
-
Thats not known yet buddy. The final Fantasy creator and Square CEO contradicted that a while ago. It\'s rather old news.

lol. usually? It only happened once! Get real...it should at least have to happen twice before you say "usually".
-
I think a bigger question would be
will gamecube have any turn based rpgs like super nintendo?
what system will get lunar 3?
why do i prefer action rpgs or rpgs were you see the bad guy on screen. Not getting magically sucked into battle every few steps.
-
I think Sony must buy now Square, it was his 1st party most important... how much can cost Square??
-
It is pretty much assumed that Lunar 3 will be on DC, then maybe be ported to other systems later. GameArts loves Sega and has almost always put their RPG\'s on a Sega system before trying them on another. Can\'t wait! They had hinted at the fact they were making it, but never was there an official announcement! Got my fingers crossed!

I thought it was pretty much understood that Square would be developing for the X-box and possibly the GameCube
-
All the Xbox fanboys expected a Square announcment yestarday. They didn\'t. So, as of right now, and for a while now, they are still up in air weither they will develop for the Xbox or the GameCube.

LOL, you must be joking. Square wouldn\'t sell themselves. It\'s not gonna ever happen, so just forget it already. :)
This coming generation, I\'d expect we see Square going semi-multi-console. What\'s that you say? Well I\'d expect we may see a few Square games released for XBox and maybe even Nintendo, but Sony will get the lion\'s share of Square games on the PS2. Lucky them.
-
those bastards better not steal final fantasy from psx. Damn that rich bastard pisses me off. If i buy that damn thing i hope theres a mod chip so i dont have to make him any richer.
-
It would make sense for Square to support it. They already port the FF games over to the PC. They can port them to the XBox just as easily. They are a third party developer, and they would make more money.
I wasn\'t expecting an announcement at the CES even though.
-
Id figure that Square would turn to Nintendo rather then microsoft.
Either Sony or Nintendo would guarrentee the FF Series to sell over 2 million copies in Japan.
But I dont know how the Japanese look at X-Box as of now ??
-
I think Living In Clip and Crippler make some very valid points. If Square were to make games exclusively for the X-Box then it wouldn\'t ensure the several millions of copies they\'d sell in Japan. However, since Square were able to port games to the PC, it would make sense for them to port their games to the X-Box so they can make more cash. I think we\'ll see Squaresoft on the X-Box, but I think many of Squares major franchises will be on the PS2 first (which already has a strong and dependable userbase in Japan).
Of course, the difficulty and differences between programming for the PS2 and programming for the supposedly programmer-friendly X-Box may complicate things.

ever since square was making games for nes, it pleaded nintendo not to use cartridges, and they declined many requests. That left a scar on square about how stubborn nintendo is, so that is why FFI, II and III will be on wonderswan color instead of GB Advance and also, Nintendo just has this thing for not using the most popular storage device (now they\'re using 8cm DVD). I think square will leave nintendo out in the cold for this one
-
Has square even annouced plans for Game Boy Advance Development ?
-
i just said that square hated nintendo, what\'ya talkin\' bout
-
Im starting to hate these post since there is usually a new one every week with "new" information. Squares not going anywhere. The only thing that makes since, that could possible go anywhere, is FFXI to X-box. But Square reps have not hinted, not giggled, not suggested, but have flat out siad no. Final Fantasy will still be ported to PC but unlickly anwhere elts. Square goes over every license with a big magnifiny glass not leaving any loopholes. Anywhay I\'ve siad this many a time before so. . .

sony already owns sqaure...if they want their little movies to be made free, published free, and get tons off hype for free....they better keep their mouths shut and not support xbox...
zip: you do know that namco is on the gamecube right?...do you also know that the ceo of namco and the ceo of nintendo got in a very nasty fight long ago?(10 years) and namco\'s ceo said on his way out something like "we will never develop for you again"...but today both men have set aside their differences...to make money.
i think it\'s more likely for square to go for gamecube instead of xbox...because xbox is the one trying to take the king of the hill(sony) not nintendo, and if they help nintendo beat xbox...then sony has no problem...and square can on and make more movies thanks to sony...
the end:)
