Square on Xbox?!??!!?!?!!?!?!

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!

Nor can I, i still see Nintendo serving that small niche they have always had.

Ill give you that ff8 sucked cuz personally I didnt like it either, the seed lvls etc...

But there was nothing wrong with FF9 I enjoyed it and Im pretty sure others did too

we\'ll see how FF10 doest against Grandia 2 for ps2, until then i wont say anything more about both the rpgs

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.

then why do so many companies mimic their style of gameplay and why is that everytime they release a game it brings something new to the market

i will agree that lately they haven\'t brought much new except for great stories but in the past Sqaure made the RPG markket what it is today with games like Chrono Trigger / FFIII / Secret of Mana I&II / - ofcourse there were more but these games are the ones that made me a fan of the RPG genre

we\'ll see how FF10 doest against Grandia 2

First off if ff10 has the same old battle system, with no real-time fighting, than same old same old. Also it better not have invisible enemies. Plus how can you compare it to an rpg that has been out for a while and when ff10 isn\'t even complete.  FF10 will be nothing revolutionary, again the only game looking to take that place is PROJECT-EGO.

I totally agree, and that is why there name SELLS!!! but Now is the present, and as it stands they offer nothing new.  Like I said before it\'s grandia 2 that square needs to look at. I loved the battle system, although I expect see much more innovation in PROJECT Ego. Kind of like you see the creature and just right then and there you fight him, no need for the game to go into a special battle mode. So who knows you could start fighting the monster or person in a field and end up dueling it out in town, you get what I’m saying

Godly, you can\'t expect square to take out the invisable characters in FFX. To me that would be crazy. Invisable characters and the battle system is what made Final Fantasy what it is. It Signify\'s that you are playing Final Fantasy. Only thing that square seemed to change in the past Final fantasy was the magic and skills elements.
FF7- materia
FF8- junctioning, gf etc
FF9- ap/sp
Changing parts to a game that clearly shows that you are playing that game is wrong. Thats like saying certain things in Zelda should change and Mario shouldn\'t fight bowser. Might not be the greatest examples but its sort of late here and a bit tired
But the fighting style and the gameplay of Final Fantasy is what makes Final Fantasy what it is.

. Invisable characters and the battle system is what made Final Fantasy what it is.

Dude you can\'t do that same SHlt forever, invisible characters etc.. was done cause that was the best they could do with the technology at time. what you said is the same as, "Why should they make mario a 3D game when jumping up and down and running through levels is what made Mario what he is today"

Grandia 2 Was the first to move beyond the typical gameplay. Now it\'s time for square to take the RPG genre and make it incredible like they did in the SNES times.  They have the resources and developers to do it.
Problem is they need a platform with a HDD to take the game play to the next level, like SEGA is trying to do with Panzar dragon.

Just imagine what they could do with a HDD. Oh and in case your thinking that i mean XBOX, PS2 has a HDD add-on . Maybe square can make a game from scratch and Sony pay for the HDD that can come with the game

They should change somethings otherwise no one would play it. I totally agree, but change things to a certain DEGREE

Lets say if they made a Grandia 3, would you like to see the battle system you love in 2
or see a total new battle system? that could potentially suck for some and some will like
To my knowledge everyone loves the grandia 2 system so keep it. It\'s like the saying " if it aint broken, dont fix it "

I hear ya, but here i got something for you. IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY

PLEASE READ THIS and then come back here and tell me what you think of it. Oh at the botton of the page it says forward, click that to go to the next page(pages have pictures too).

The game sounds to much of living your life out
sort of reminds me of Ultima Online for Pc

But none the less it does sound cool
but out of curiosity whats the story line? I dont recall reading one

The game sounds to much of living your life out

Man that game sounds PIMP!! don\'t forget it\'s from the creators of Black&White, therefore we know they will do a good job on the game.

Also how come square is not making another Crono triger for this generation????

Well I have no Idea for Chrono Trigger because I never played it and am waiting for the psx re release with final fantasy 4 this july

Chrono Cross however I did play and I couldnt tell you if it was a good sequal because never played the first but a friend of mine played both and said it did link ok

Too many fights, i\'ll just say this:

FF (any PSX version)= ZzZzZzZz after 1st disc without exception.

FF (any PSX version)= ZzZzZzZz after 1st disc without exception

That\'s what i said eairler. Although I do respect those who enjoyed them,  I Just found them to offer nothing new to the table my HO.
