http://www.the-magicbox.com/gaming.htm

- Square president Youichi Wada mentioned that they are planning to release a new PlayOnline MMORPG for PlayStation 2 and PC in the second half of 2003 to 2004 period, the save data of the game can be used in both PS2 and PC version, similar to Final Fantasy XI.

Uh, hmm.

I am dispointed with FF11.I dont know if I will like this one.Where is Vagrant Story2?

Any word on if FFXI is even going to make it State side or to EU territories? Lots of rumors have been going around that they\'ll probly cancel it because of it\'s stict reliance on the HDD which is expected to sell very poorly.

hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm this doesn\'t sound to smart for square but oh well..............

I am still convinced that it won\'t make it State side and if it somehow does, it\'ll be a stripped down version. Sony and Square are both finally realizing how much of a failure and dumb idea the HDD really is. Now let\'s just see how they dig themselves out of this hole. Will they continue to delay it? Release it and cut the losses? Or just hope the public forgets about it? I\'m betting on the last one, just like Nintendo did with the 64DD...

thats cause his CD access was removed

Amen Brother

I\'ve lost a ton of repsect for Square..... IMO they\'ve sold out, and will only create games that are guarenteed big mone makers

in other words Square is not willing ot take any chances or create new and exciting franchises

and NO Kingdom Hearts doesn\'t count. Its based off of highly recognizable franchises and designed solely to make Square cash easily


Where is Vagrant Story 2, where is Front Mission 5

where is a new RPG made in a different mold then their PS1 predecessors and differerent then FFX

are they out of ideas or just so piss poor broke from the movie they made

L-I-C, care to explain what makes it a failure? Last time I heard, it sold pretty good, considering the only game that supports it is FFXI.
