Square on Xbox?!??!!?!?!!?!?!
« Reply #15 on: May 23, 2001, 07:44:14 AM »
I see that a lot of people here do not understand business. Most if not all third parties are going to go multi-platform the generation. It is the smart thing to do. COmpanies know that they need to maximize profits and being loyal to ONE company is not going to do that(unless you are a second or third party) It is not like a FF movie can not be made somewhere else. Sony is not going to just cancel the release of the movie. Bad Business. Square is going multi-platform. Companies like Enix and such can afford to support one console because they don\'t make as many games as Square/EA/Sega/Konami/etc. I will bet any amount of money that Square WILL develop for the Xbox and most likely the GCN. Get over it.

Sony can say anything they want about "helping" with the movie but Square has made FAR more money for Sony then Sony is "giving" to make this movie. I put giving in quotes because Sony knows that this movie will be a hit and that they will be making the lion\'s share of profits from it. Not square.

aslong as sqaure makes great game si will follow them but this year has not been kind to sqaure but that is their own dang fault not sony\'s - they are the ones that made games like the Bouncer and that racing game which name i can\'t remember - they were not what they were cracked up to be and sold badly - either way i think that sqaure will go where the money is and i have a filling that what ever Xbox negotiates Sony will try to as well

If Square goes to X-Box, and then becomes their main focus of games, I hope PS2 blows it out of the water. I just don\'t wanna go another generation saying that Sony won because Square was on their side. That is all BS. People act as if their are the greatest gamers, yet their talent is highly concentrated on ONE type of genre...RPG. Go Sony!

You sure of that???? Cause many people didn\'t give a rats ass for FF7( i have people tell me they liked FF3 american ver better). Then again many people LOVED it. But hey why are we talking about FF7, oh yeah i know why cause FF8 sucked and so did FF9.

Square has done nothing innovative for a long time, all they like to do is make FMV and the name FF sells. AS for Grandia 2 the gameplay was something New that we rpg fans needed. The story line to Grandia 2 was not the best, I ADMIT, but hey nor was FF8 or FF9.

You\'re either a FF fan or not. At the same time FF7 brought many new people to the world of rpg\'s. I never got into Grandia 2, so I can\'t comment too much on it, but I enjoyed the hell out of FF7. After waiting 2+ years for it, I better have. I\'ll admit I\'m a die-hard FF fan (except for FF8 -eww) so I\'ll pretty much like any of them. Though I\'m not blind, and for many reasons I despised FF8. Oh yeah, I digress, the point is, you guys keep on arguing about opinions. Trying to pass them off as facts. No one can say FF is the best, or that Grandia was better, because in the end it\'s all an opinion. :)

I already know it\'s all a matter of taste, but you have to admit, which was my whole point. Square has done nothing really innovative or revoluntionary with the rpg genre.

Sorry, I can\'t stnad Nintendo since the day I found out that they were the reason that SMS had such an untimely death.

I have no bones against Sony for killing Saturn and DC, because Sega shot themselves in the foot. Nintendo used marketing muscle to bully other companies away from developing. Their business tactics are shrewd, their games are very much alike, and I just altogehter can\'t stnad Pokemon.

Nintendo should just go the software route. At times they seem over confident like the much hated EA.
Die Gamecube.

PS - of course I am getting a gamecube and want it to be successful, I just can\'t think of Nintendo coming out on top!
