I really hope Square does go multi-platform. All gamers should get their games. It\'s only fair IMO. SUPER MARIO RPG 2 ON GAMECUBE would kick some serious bootay!

And if it went multiplatform... maybe all systems could play future Final Fantasies online together...... cool.......

Super Mario RPG 2 came out...remember Paper Mario?  

I really believe that FFXI should go multiplatform if not any other Square game...well that and the next Chrono game.

Poo! Poo on you!

Paper Mario isn\'t the true Super Mario RPG, that\'s rubbish. Not made by Square. Square needs to make the sequel!

Not big stock, I think they own like 33% of the company in some respect...I\'m not sure.  

What would Sony do?... I\'m sure Microsoft would be right there to take them under their wing should anything happen.

"We\'ve talked about making games for Xbox, but we are not planning to make Dragon Quest series for that machine as the game\'s target player differs from those that Xbox targets. It\'s going to be something different, even if we decide to make something for them (Xbox)."

Say it with me class, "Xbox in Japan = DOOMED!!!"  The DQ series was the only thing that could save the Xbox in Japan.  Microsoft needed it.  Now that it\'s going to a different console, it hurts Microsoft even more.

The preceding was all my opinion.  Flame on.

also even if they did release FFXI on Xbox

Japan has had many mixed reviews about the game even on PS2 - so would people really care to buy a new system for a game that is avaliable for  a system they already have

anyway just saying - xbox needs the big games for the japanese to bite into it and the big companies arent willing to risk that yet

FFXI is just a prospect of possibilities that a developer relationship between Xbox and Square/Enix could bring about...it wasn\'t the point of the thread.

The point of this thread was speculative at best, that\'s all.
