Xbox and RPGs

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Final Fantasy : One Thread

This doesn't directly relate to Finfal Fantasy I don't guess, but Xbox is failing pretty miserably in Japan due to no RPG's but I looked through this months Game Informer and they have some really nice ones that made even ME want an Xbox (("Fable" mostly)) and With Square merging with Enix I wonder if there will be a new Final Fantasy coming for Xbox and if so, would you get the system for it?

I don't think there will be any FF's for XBox, Sqaure is already been making games for PS2 and they just signed with Nintendo. Supporting games for three systems will be tough. Espessially for a company who puts such hard work into their games. They'll have to make three formats for each game. Plus, Sqaure won't jump into Xbox right away, microsoft is new to the entertainment market and they haven't shown much potential yet.

Well I played this racing game on the XBox, Sega something, and I thought it looked great but it's definitely not as good as GT2 for the PS1. I mean that game had it all. I never played GT3 but I hope to play it soon. Okay I'm getting off the subject.

Point is, as far as I've seen, the XBox looks cool, but I mean it's Microsuck and we must boycott everything Microsuck. Are they planning on ever having a Final Fantasy on it though?

Well, the way I look at microsoft, and Microsoft making a gaming system is this...what does this symbol mean to you?

$$$$$$$

Yes, MOOLAH! MONEY! CASH! It's like DBZ. Everybody loves Saiya-jins! Let's put them into action figures and swim through piles of cash! Get my point? Microsoft CAN'T MAKE GOOD GAMES, if all they see is green, all day. As always... *The shadow whisps away*

Micro-suck doesnt MAKE the games, and I think I will buy an x-box next year right after Fable comes out -_-' it looks so bad ass I cant resist.. that and Dead or Alive extreme beach vollyball @_@.. No I don't think FF will come to Xbox, because from what I hear (read) Square will keep all of their deals they make before the merger.. maybe soon we will see a Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy hybrid in the future, that would be interesting, aye? I agree with all of you in saying that M$ is in it for the money, but you can't deny they made a pretty bad ass system @_@ mostly because they sold a HDD with it. I chose not to get an xbox because until recently I haven't seen ANY games I would want on the system...

You can get a harddrive for PS2 also. You can install Linux on a PS2.

Yeah, I know. But as of now it's nearly impossible to find a HDD OR network adapter here.. I dont even think they have released the HDD for ps2 in the US yet... but xbox releasing theirs alerady equiped with it was an amazing idea, and increased it's capabilitys by quite a bit.. ((for example Blinx, or playing your own burnd mp3's to games you like))

They have released it in the U.S. You just can't find it since you live in CONROE.

*sighs* yeah.. I may be moving to College Station ((what A&M is son - _-')) But I don't really like A&M... i'd rather goto UT or MIT... @_@ owell. *Father is pressuring him to goto A&M* yes... I was hoping they would have it here by x-mas, but I guess not... damn conroe..

*kicks himself* that was ALL screwed.. *((Where A&M is at))

Well, your not going to get into MIT. That's a nobrainer. But since you go to a hick school out in the middle of nowhere, you can probably get into the top 10 percent and get automatic entry all public schools in Texas(which includes UT).
