Personally, I think XII will be the last game to feature on this generation of consoles. Then we’ll have the Xbox 2 and the PS3 out, and then it’s fair game which console the series continues on. I’d prefer the console which had the better technology to take over the series and run with it.
We’ll see… It’s a long way in the future for now. Let’s wait until Final Fantasy XII is on our shelves, and the plans for the next gen consoles are a bit more developed before we panic about Bill Gates ruining the Final Fantasy franchise…
Its shape will be… square.
What? I thought that was brilliant. 🙁
that said, I’m happy FF is on the PS2, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to stay there for the next round too. Sony is still on top, and Square-Enix is going to keep Final Fantasy on the most popular console.
Never, never, never, never, never, NEVER!
I hate X-Box. I’d hate Squenix if they sold out to fuckin’ X-Box.
and i also believe that microsoft have sold a staggering 3 console’s in the whole of japan….
whether xbox is good or not (not) it’s just not going to happen..
if s-enix are going to switch console’s it should be nintendo’s new one….
as that nintendos rpg collection is growing strong (in japan)…
and it’s kinda catching up in sale’s with ps2…
That said, Square-Enix would never switch – it’s too late in the game on the current generation. Next gen is an entirely different story – it wouldn’t be beyond Square to jump boat at the biggest marketing oppurtunity.
Hell, they did it from SNES to PSX.
Why do they do that anyway? I mean in the begining weren’t there Final Fantasy games on the Nintendo systems and then they switched to Playstation, and now they have FFXI online and–correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t there some FF games on Gameboy Advance? And then there’s Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on Game cube . . .
Wouldn’t it be easier just to stay with one system?
Neither of them are really Final Fantasy titles as such, though. And it’s easier to stay with one system programming wise – but apart from that, it’s more economic to make games for all three systems. Bigger market, you see.
The battle system is card based. I hope it’s fun 🙁
AND STOP MAKING MMORPG’S OUT OF FF!!
I honestly don’t see why they would do that.
Xbox may have good graphics but there are more important elements to videogames.
Tell me one thing that xbox cannot do for it that ps2 can? I can tell you things that PS2 cannot and xbox can do it.
Playonline, without having serious rifts with XboxLive.
Xbox live is miles cheape than ps2’s network play, its alot better. Plus anyway, Final fantasy has always been best as a single player RPG, online just spoils it. If you wantedd it online, why not just make it for the PC, thats the best in the busness for that and everything else. And who made windows? Microsoft, and who made XBOX? Microsoft, see, xbox is alot better to play on, in every aspect, FF will rule xbox if it ever got released on it.
FFXI = PC and PS2
FF = Was multiplayer since FF4 to 6 then 9 then FFCC then FFTA.
Microsoft = Known for keeping A LOT of things private to themselves, thus game companies have little control over the servers that go on the Xbox Live servers.
Xbox Live = 50 a year + Additional Fees for a few games.
Want to rebut? <3
Also I said what can xbox ‘NOT’ do for it that PS2 can? Not, what has microsoft done and kept secret!
Why go online? Single player for Final fantasy has always been its strong point! Not many gamers will pay squarenix for online play.
Only, oh, 200,000 or so, paying $12 a month.
That’s why they go online.
It makes them money.
It would spoil Final fantasy forever, why do u think they chose FF12 for single player? Cos’ they prefer to have it there normal way.
If they liked making FF11 they would have make the next installment the same, or even better, its hard enough to keep one MMORPG updated without more.
Who would like the series to go to PC and have an excellent single player story aswell as an online ‘FREE’ version like NWN (Neverwinter nights). With this they can make patchs to fix every bug and also release an editer for mod makers to play with, that way its very re-playable, think Morrowind but with the skills of Squarenix and an intrigueing story to it.
Please tell me what you would like it to change over to:
PC
Playstation series
Xbox series
Phantom
Other
Place your votes now!
But still, everyone will play it on single player………but online, I doubt it. Plus single player has its best storyline and beats any RPG in that way, if it was online, its like a chat room with avatars and a few tasks to keep them occupied. I am telling ya, if it goes like it did with FF11 then they will lose alot of customers.
XI is a once off, though. It doesn’t matter if less people play it, because they have the constant income from monthly fees. You’d know that if you were paying attention. They don’t plan to make XII a MMORPG, we already know that. So they can have both constant income for XI and massive sales off a big title like XII and the FFs following it. So, what’s the problem? You’re clutching at straws.

Your friends are a very unususal case, it seems. PS2 has mass-market appeal. Squenix will continue to develop for the PS because it is most popular, which equates to most sales. That’s the kind of superiority which counts, when you’re a developer. Not graphical ability or some ethereal superior gameplay rubbish. (Which I hardly see being true, XBox is worse than PS2 for non-online games).

In case you haven’t noticed, Japan HATES the X-Box, and S-E is a company based in- guess where- Japan. And no, not all of America has the X-Box. The PS2 is the console with the biggest market appeal, the most gameplayers and the potential for higher profits than any other console. And because Final Fantasy X, XI, X-2 and XII have or will be coming out on PS2, it stands to reason that S-E will continue to develop for Sony consoles whilst FF fans continue to buy them.

Ooh, only not give them a few million pounds/ dollers/ euros in profit.
X- Box is still in many ways a niche console- not enough original games to make it stand out, but with a few features that attract some people to it. Whilst this is the case- and it has been for a while, especially in Japan, S-E will continue, in my eyes, to develop for Sony for the foreseeable future.
And finally….

AH, I hate trying to talk to Final fantasy freaks, that the only thing they think about is to get laid with that Tifa lass, weird freaks! Try a shooter once in awhile, with a little better graphix and sound than PS2’s obismal attempt, it will make u stop having a stiffy when u get to see a poster of Tifa or someone.
God u are obsessed with these games, its only a game! I only go on games for fun, thats what xbox and pc can do for ya, not a old PS2, its way crappy and I hope they make the PS3 worth a final fantasy to go on, if not, it should go to the PC.
BTW, I dont hate the PS2, I just think the bigger companies should make there games for the better console in the market, then it doesnt matter who has the biggest market cos’ only counts with the top of the line games.
Anyway Fable will easly be better than anything that S-E could and can come up with, one of the best AI creators is working on the game.
I hope the arguement will end at this post….

Games companies are just that- compaies. They don’t care about how good or bad a console is, they care about profits. Sure, they try to make good games, but at the end of the line, Square- Enix care primarily about the profit margin, and right now the majority of the console market and the majority of gamers are behind Sony, so S- E will make games for Sony systems, because of the profit they can make.

That’s generalisation. Sure, I like Final Fantasy, got all the games I can, but really, I don’t know of anyone on the Shrine who actively dreams of getting laid by Tifa.
PS2 graphics? Take a look at Pro Evolution Soccer 3/ Winning Eleven 7, MGS2, FFX and X-2. X-Box graphics may be better, but frankly graphics don’t matter. It’s the gameplay and originality that counts, which the X-Box unfortuneatly sorely lacks.
For example, some top X-Box games:
Halo- Yes, it’s good, but now it’s on PC hardly worth getting the console for.
Timesplitters 2- PS2 game, PS2 graphics, PS2 sound. How’s that for enhanced gameplay and the ultimate ‘graphics and sound’ you seem to like so much?
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City- PS2 game, PS2 graphics, PS2 sound. How’s that for enhanced gameplay and the ultimate ‘graphics and sound’ you seem to like so much?
Yes, that is the same as above, but it still stands.
Medal of Honor, THPS: PS2 game, PS2 graphics, PS2 sound. How’s that for enhanced gameplay and the ultimate ‘graphics and sound’ you seem to like so much?
Getting repititve now?
Oh, yes the ‘original’ ones-
Oddworld: Whatever it is- Essintially the same as the PS1 version, only with the graphics and sound.
Deus Ex: Invisible War- If it wasn’t coming out for PC as well, the only reason I’d buy an X-Box. But, it’s coming out on PC LIKE EVERY OTHER X-BOX ‘EXCLUSIVE’.
And as you’ve seen from above, I do like other types of games, in fact I play a lot of genres, including shooters, so for fuck’s sake stop generalising.

The only reason why PS2 has a bigger market is because they only attract freaks of the world and also those slant eyed frogs we call japs. And when I said what can xbox not do that ps2 can, I meant, gameplay, graphical, anything like that, not what S-E gets out of it.
Oh, right. So in other words half the gaming population are freaks and the Japanese are slant- eyed frogs. You’re a very balnced, non- rascist person I see. And the whle reason I posted about the profit was because that’s what S-E is concerned about. Graphics and sound may well be better than the PS2, but gameplay will be worse because of the X-Box controller, if you can call it that. I’d rather have a Dual Shock 2 than whatever that lump of black plastic is called. The button layout is all wrong.

WTF is Fable? No, wait I know already- it’s a D&D game or an FF rip-off, because apart from Dragon Quest and Breath of Fire, all RPGs are.
But, let it be known, if Square-Enix moves on to the Xbox, it would lose the fan base already established on Sony. The Xbox fans, in the view of RPGs, are a minority.
Xbox is grabbing my attention but I’m looking at something that is really not of "Xbox Quality". The only real reason I would want an Xbox right now would be just to play SvC: Chaos, CvS2, KOF2k2, and various SNK/Capcom fighter games online and that’s it. CvS2 can already be played online on the PS2 and the DC, it just that there are no American Servers to play them on.
But going back to Final Fantasy, the only plus I see from SE’s side would be… well… better graphics system…

Whenever you say that, sometimes I think that you could be my missing link. ;_;
And for the nOOb thing, ah, we could beat you guys at games any day, our better graphix give us a better detailed enviroment to roam in and the sounds let us hear things around us better. We are way more advanced.
Awesome! Don’t keep it up!
At least provide us with examples of the supposedly "excellent" games*snickers*. 🙂

I hope this doesnt go into an allout brawl cos’ the games on Xbox are way better than the games that PS2 has pulled off.
Why are they better? Exactly how is the X-Box so great?

Final fantasy 11 can stay on the PS2, I didnt say that us Xbox fans wanted an online game, we need a final fantasy game.
But you’re not because S-E knows the X-Box isn’t as profitable as the PS2. If you realised S-E care about the profits more than you you’d see why it isn’t getting one, and at current rates won’t be getting one. (bold font intentional)

multiple times penance, i almost feel sorry for your lack of inteligence and know how of what makes a game good, god i feel as if you are some mainstream gaming n00b, god(again) go read a couple gamepros are psm’s to get "enlightened" and come up with an at least postable reply
PS:i laugh at you :laugh:

Um… the graphics improvements in the Xbox are actually mainly lighting effects and anti-aliasing… pretty, but nothing that will ‘give you a better detailed environment.’
Sound… Xbox uses Dolby Digital, just like PS2.
Don’t get me wrong, I like my Xbox – I enjoy kicking my friends in Halo, and Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favourite RPGs. I’m just saying it’s ridiculous to say that because a game is on a different system, it’s inferior – systems are nothing more than mediums to play games.
So, i’ve got my Xbox, PS2 and GameCube so i’m not limited – and honestly, they’re not that expensive now. You can pick up all three, and a couple of games, for less then I paid for my PS2 when it first came out.
…also, just a note on Fable. I’m looking forward to it – it’s very amibitious for an RPG. But you brought up NeverWinter Nights – and I believe Fable will be like that. The story will be interesting, but not central like the Final Fantasy series. The fun will be in the gameplay – if they can really pull off the real-world system, it will be fantastic.
i saw a bit of gameplay, and i thought "ok…it’s nothing special,but it’s not bad"
but a it’s highly anticipated game for this year, so it cant be that bad (not gonna be better the ff, in my opinion)
the game im looking forward to on the xbox is that rpg game by the ppl who made knights of the old replublic…cant remember the name!!!
as i am a owner of all three console’s i can rightly say that everything that darkpenance is talking about is total rubbish…
graphics for one….how sad must you be to point out the smallest little differences in graphics and "XBOX HAS MUCH BETTER GRAPHICS THE PS2" i mean, come on, how sad is that…
ff will never (EVER) go to the xbox….simple fact.
xbox has sold about three copies in japan not to mention selling less then ps2 in america….
if ff should switch, gamecube’s it’s choice….
wait…. i know what your gonna say now…"GAMECUBE’S FOR KIDS" were as in natural fact, gamecube has the best games on the planet on it…
but judging from the sale’s figures of the ps2, it’s noy likely that final fantasy will be switching console’s at all too soon!!!
Stop complaining darkpenance… and spell right for a change.
ps, has anyone else heard the rumour about ffXII coming out for playstation portable? because there are (i think it was) 9 games being made currently for playstation portable so it has something to buy for its release.
I should also mention that the Xbox is either a newbie’s toy or a professional’s machine, not anything down the middle.
GC leads and PS2 comes in second. GC has the most looked forward games in the gaming industry. Ps2 seconds. And XBox comes in last.
OK, I agreed with most of your post but not that part. PS2 leads the gaming industry simply because it is the most profitable, biggest selling and most popular games machine on the planet. GC has good games, yes, like Zelda, Resi, Mario etc but PS2 is he market leader. And that’s the way it looks to be staying for the moment.
Xbox is just, like I said before, a newbie toy or a professional system.
