Is Square going to backstab?
« on: January 17, 2002, 09:06:09 AM »
I read on some game sites that square is thinking about developing for the X-Box. Do you think we\'re gonna lose our monopoly on the ff series. This will really piss me off if it happens because it will make me feel as though the sony will have no big time exclusive series if we lose ff. If square does this hopefully it is just for online stuff. What do u guys think?

I thought that Sony owned about 50% of Square..

Anyway, Sony won\'t be able to keep the FF-Series PlayStation-
exclusive forever. What Square needs is money..  as the FF-movie was quiet a big flop Square needs to get every Yen they can.
I suppose that the 13th entry to the FF-saga will be non-exclusive. However, we cannot know ;)

FFXI will be developed for the PC market, not the MSBox.

Microsoft ~is~ speaking with Square right now about games. Square\'s comment was that they have no games being developed for MSBox at the moment.

Don\'t hold your breath.

And BTW, Sony owns about 20% of Square stocks. They are still in negotiations about buying up to 49%.

Don\'t hold your breath on that one too.

I\'ve gone over this a thousand times I guess one more will not hurt. The only game that Square has ever thought of moving to other platforms is Final Fantasy XI. Why, one might ask. because it is an online game which uses Square\'s PlayOnline service. So the more poeple that own the game the more poeple who pay for the service. But recently square announced that they have changed there plans. You would not have to pay to use PlayOnline however you will have to pay to play Final Fantasy XI. So instead of paying for the service you must pay to play the game.

However Square has stated that they have ceased negotations with all other parties. So the chances that Final Fantasy XI going to anyother system is very very slim.

And on a further note. Final Fantasy XII has already been decleard a Playstation 2 exclusive.

Square backstab Sony?

Don\'t you mean Nintendo?

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Before there was a PSX, Square worked for Nintendo. Afterall, where did you think FF1-6 were on? Anyways, back then, Square appeared excited about developing FF7 on the N64...but low and behold, it is now on the PSX exclusively.

You are actually blaming Square for Nintendo\'s stupid decisions?  Nintendo screwed themselves -- that\'s all there is to it.

Nintendo doesn\'t deserve Square

but personally I could care less where they go, but one thing is for sure they will always be on Sony machines since Sony owns a solid piece of Square

When did they cease all negotionations, recent news says otherwise...

What about Square\'s other series?  Chrono?  And have FF13-15 been announced Sony exclusive?
