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

I think Final Fantasy is the single most over-rated series, so if they go multi-platform it makes no difference... I don\'t see any third party *wanting* to stay exclusive to one company this generation. THere is way to much money to be made.

But, they do have nice toys...

Yes. I\'m happier owning a Vivi plush doll than owning FFIX.

Square has done nothing really innovative or revoluntionary with the rpg genre.

disagree...you may think Final Fantasy hasnt been innovative for the past few ones, but Square have many otehr RPG\'s hich are innovative...and not just RPG\'s either

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.

when square want to do something different with their RPG\'s, they make a whole new game.  I love final fantasy for what it is, and i love Squares other games because they are different to Final Fantasy.  Thats why im disappointed that FFXI is online only, make it FF: Online or something, like FFTactics

they are the only arguements i could put forward...look ****ing lazy

Bob - you cant just say that they have other innovative RPGs and other games that are innovative and not state them.

Please, for my sake, tell me what games you were reffering to. For the likesof me, I cant figure out any games that are innovative by Square.

Well, for one, the mighty Xenogears.

Yunno, if FF is so stale to you guys, and you obviously don\'t plan to continue with the series, why sit here and incessantly ***** about it? Go play Grandia 2 and shut the hell up already, and leave the rest of us who LIKE FF alone.

Because this is console debating, and we can ***** about how old the series has gotten since FF3.

Xenogears was innovative how? I never really got into it (My PSX(no.2) broke while I was playing it)

It had a combo-based battle system which I enjoyed. Other than that, it just had the best storyline any game could ever hope to have.

My philosophy on games: I don\'t give a damn if a game doesn\'t innovate, as long as I have fun with it.

If everyone thought like that we would all still be using lincoln logs and legos. Eventually a company HAS to innovate in order to introduce new ways to have fun. If we let them the industry will remain in a state of complacency and that should not be what any of us want. If we just settle for the status quo then that is all they will give us.

I agree, innovation drives the market, expanding it in great ways.

eh, well it really is hard for me to comment on this one, seeing as Square games seam to be rarely released down here in Aust...but i for one thought Vagrant Story was quite innovative, one of the only Action RPG\'s i enjoy playing

What I mean is that innovation is great, but all to often developers try to be too innovative and just screw everything up. And then, you have people who think that every game in a series must evolve radically from one game to another to be good. All too often in gaming media, innovative automatically = good, and that isn\'t always the case.

So I guess I should word it differently:

I don\'t care if a game is groundbreaking, I care more that it\'s fun.

Seriously calm down. I am not arguing his personal tastes I am merely stating my opinion on his statement.

Yes I like innovation in games but does that mean I hate FFX? No. I respect the FF series for what it is; but after FF7 they just weren\'t fun to me anymore. Even knowing this I will STILL buy FFX to try it out first. But you also better believe that I will be FIRST in line to get games like Project EGO and Shenmue II. I will also encourage everyone else to buy them because just like the music industry if we buy into it the will keep making it.
