Is the company about to announce three Xbox titles on Monday?

September 21, 2001


Here\'s what we know at this time – some of the world\'s press has been called to Japan in order to receive what could be a pre-TGS briefing on Square\'s Xbox game announcements. Rumors on the web have been spilling in on the unconfirmed information that the Square announcement might actually hit on Monday morning during a press conference in Tokyo. Others have rumored that this is actually just a pre-TGS briefing for major magazines, and that all information released is to ensure that magazines with long lead times have the information for print around the same time as the show in October.
Square\'s been rumored to have Xbox titles under its sleeve for over a year now, but what could they be? From what we\'ve heard from sources and flying monkeys, these are the titles that will be announced (when, of course, Square finally announces them):


Final Fantasy XI (Square\'s online world, for multiple platforms)
Bushido Blade X (realistic fighting with one-hit kills)
Chrono Cross X (if you don\'t know what this is, then you\'ve missed out on one of the best RPG series ever)
Final Fantasy XI has been rumored (and not-so-subtly hinted at by the company) for the system for months now, but the announcement of the other games, particularly Chrono Cross X, comes as welcome surprise to those worried that Japanese support of the Xbox will be sparse and second-hand. But what\'s this about Nintendo scooping up Square altogether? More rumors, folks. Whose rumors are beating out whose rumors? We\'ll find out soon enough -- but at the very least, we know that Xbox and cross-platform people were invited to this event, and that our Nintendo editors are still sitting at their house in SF instead of in Tokyo, so...


I hope this is true well we will find out this monday during square big annocenment.  Its looking good for xbox if this turns out to be true.

hmmmm a guy on the GameFAQS message board last week was talking abut how on the 24th, Square was gonna announce 5 games. He said to just wait and see and he would be correct,

He said 5 though, not 3 like IGN.

Should be interesting to see.

Hey AB do you think it\'s true.  I have a good feeling about this I think square will announce xbox support monday.

I am almost sure it is partly true, the guy was very insistent about it, even way before all this news came out.

Doesn\'t matter to me either way though.

if square does, i doubt they would put final fantasy X on x box.. yes, it is very possibe tey may put FFXI on x box, as they put it on the cube also. they want to gain the most revenue, and thats a good way to do it....

but i dont see square supporting x box as much as they support ps2....
