Do you think Square-Enix will treat X-box360 owners fairly?

After seeing that they did Nintendo wrong with a half-hearted game like Crystal Chronicals, I either one see them going the same direction for Microsoft, or two(a fat-chance), giving them e original titles like they give Sony. Either way I feel would be bad, I would hate to see another mediocre game from them, but dont want to see a FF or DQ game in the mainstream series on the console. It would make me feel as if they betrayed Sony. Although, making more online games for the system would be a great prospect. Or perhaps unique titles featuring offline and online play.

But anyways, whats your take? I like that Microsoft is almost begging for everyones backing and I see some actual great games for the console in the future.

I really can't answer that but only time will tell

well if there releasing FFXI for Xbox360 they just might i play FFXI and it great i just hope they dont stop withFFXI i hope they come out with more than just FFXI (i think i said the title too much :P)svchaos

I hope they don't because I don't want to have to buy the New Xbox :PNimroc

I don't want that either, 'cos we future PS3-owners need something just for us, :P

Let's hope not.

I think all this Square-Enix going multi-platform has been blown out of proportion lately. All Squares president said was that it was a possibility that they would nothing, nothing less. Now that could mean that they could, but it in no way means that they will. Not to mention that in a article I read on 1up.com(I will try to find it) a representative from Square did say that they have no plans to release the main FF series on more then one system. Except XI of course, but I myself don't consider that in the main FF series.

Here the link.

So to answer the threads question No I don't.

Do I smell a hint of X-Box hostility amongst us, ;)Sith_Fisto

Yes you probably do :twisted:

Do I smell a hint of X-Box hostility amongst us, ;)Sith_Fisto

Not hostility, just selfish and gloating rights. Nothing against X-Box really.

Just want to keep everything to ourselves (future PS3 owners) so we can gloat to other consoles that although we might have same range of quality machines (PS3, XBox 360, etc), nothing beats the number of high-quality games for us PS owners.

I thought the xbox 360 has more setbacks to be worried about than the ps3 >_> technically (argh, i just want a wii) Seriously... how is lost oddysey "GREAT!!!" ? In no way would i even compare it to a Final Fantasy. FF is always innovative about its battle systems and gameplay. LO's gameplay and battlesystem turned me off :| If LO is to be compared to a normal turn-based RPG, it definitely has a great story and other features. Other than that, the only fact that links LO with FF is only the "Sakaguchi" name, not the game itself. Comparison is not even eligible in this case. kinetic-core

Perhaps not on an in-depth scale, but on the superficial level, another similarity is that they look very much alike. LO doesn't claim to be a new reincarnation of FF, but I think the fact that it is made by Mistwalker and has similar features doesn't hurt its "sellablility"; especially for those of us who are DYING for more good RPGs for the 360.

yeah... the 360 seriously needs more good stories. The reason i had to get rid of my xbox (not the 360) was the game selection :roll: It was all violent and shallow in my impression -_- I guess, it's because i just love JRPGs more than anything else.kinetic-core

that's why i never got an original XBox - it was PS2 all the way for me - but i got a 360 because now, i think they're starting to smarten up and reaiize that not all the gaming population like playing Halo and Call of Duty - lol :)

To quote one of my idols. " The Xbox 360 is nothing more than an Xbox 1.5". So far Mister Kutaragi was right, the 360 has done very little that the original Xbox couldn't do. Where as the PS3 is leaps and bounds superior than the PS2 and the Wii.......Gamecube.......original xbox.......xbox 360..and most pc's.Sony_FanBoy

The 360 was able to go up a few notches above the original xbox! What with all those great online features, etc. And Msoft got smarter by liasing with other big names like how Nintendo and Sony had done in the past.

Graphics of the 360 can beat the ps3 because those particular games were ported on the ps3, not ported on the xbox. Meaning, those games were built with the 360's technology in mind, and there's no way it could fit into the ps3 perfectly. Say, i don't think a 360 can even hold content with ps3's graphics level, simply because the PS3 is stronger techonologically. In other words, there's no chance a ps3-exclusive can even be ported onto a 360 disc (multiple discs maybe), it just doesn't have the capacity and technology, unless (please Msoft) blu-ray is used.

This thread is starting to sound a lot like System Wars. :P

Frankly, I don't really expect Square Enix to support 360 because of how poor the JRPGs seem to fair on the system. Even with Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon, the 360 still hasn't found much of an audience in Japan. And neither titles were exactly top sellers in America either. I'm not saying a square-enix title wouldn't preform well, but I think the performance of the past RPGs is enough to deter SE away from releasing many 360 titles.

Yes i have played on a 360, Gear of War, Halo 3, BioShock. Those games look amazing, but Halo 3 doesn't looks worse than Gears and it came out almost a year after Gears. The fact is, most PS3 games are built from 360 tech, not PS3 tech. Look at Final Fantasy XIII, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc. You need to also realize, the online aspect of the 360, some of that stuff was promised for the original Xbox. People had to spend a couple hundred dollars more for a new system for stuff that was promised last generation. Now I'm not saying that Sony didn't do the same thing. PS2 never got the "Integrated Online service from their partnership with AOL", but at least Sony has admited that they weren't capable of doing it, but I think they have more than made up for it with the Playstation Network.

Infinite Undiscovery is coming out on 360 and its made by Square Enix and Tri Ace. So they do have one an RPG coming out on the X-Box.

The title of this made me laugh.

There is no such thing as giving a console a fair chance, Square can make games for whoever they want, for whatever reason they want.

And besides, when you cosider how much success SE has had on Sony systems, I think Sony is going to get the majority of the better games unless they do something stupid to piss SE off.

Personally I think the only reason Xbox is getting games from SE now is because SE was so desperate to get FF11 on as many systems as possible that they made a deal with microsoft that if they could put FF11 on 360, SE would make some other games for the 360. Because if SE and Microsoft really wanted to join together there is no way the 360 people would have to pay SE the full price to play FF11 online imo.

And of course until 360 sells better in Japan, there is no way SE will start making more games for the 360. Well thats my take on the current sitiuation anyways.

And im glad SE puts the majority of their games on one system, it gives us a better product in the end.

SE is no doubt moving towards multi platform, but you would realize games for consoles other than Sony's and the DS, are all consisting of titles that are not "at SE's helm". In other words, they are titles that does not promise immediate or prominent success.

I would even say, even cellphones are gaining more attention from SE than the 360 or the Wii itself. SE named it under its FNC project, "going multi-platform" will be the main thing SE is moving towards and games would be developed on "mainly PS3, Handheld and mobile phones". (Quotes are from SE's press release 2 years ago)

yup yup! Let's hope SE can cause some impact, to bring in fortune for the 360. It's doing terrible in Japan. :? Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey was supposed to liven things up, but perhaps, SE will indeed be able to do something about it. After all, SE is the most popular game-making company in Japan. kinetic-core

That's because FFXI in its entirety is available for the PS2, and the PS2 FFXI is compatible with the PS3 so its not worth the work to make a PS3 version.

Personally I think that Square is not a company that is unwilling to branch out; however, they will be specific for each console. Look what we have now: Final Fantasy (the main series) goes to Sony, Nintendo gets Crystal Chronicles, New Tactics games, and the remakes games for its systems (FFI-FVI hopefully), and Microsoft gets...well new stuff. I think Square now sees the potential for the 360 even if its main market is over seas. Sure Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey were Eh (I am gonna get them over the summer and beat them) but they are beginning to improve. I think The Last Remnant is looking real nice and I like its mature attitude; hopefully its better than the other two. With the 360 I hope Square has an outlet for its more mature products seeing as he 360 is pretty much drenched in blood game wise. Although even if they make a game more childish than Viva Pinata (with even more crazy undertones) that would be cool too. I think all I really wanted to say is I want more games for my 360 Square.AceofOpus

That is a good point and I wholeheartedly agree with you, how (so far) they have categorized new releases for different consoles. I also agree with you that SE is smart enough to realize that there is a huge gaming market outside of Japan and that they would be foolish not to take advantage of it by making more games for the 360 (I take it then, that you will be getting Infinite Undiscovery? - i know i am! :))

As for Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, DEFINITELY get them. I just picked up these exact two games this weekend and I love them so far! They are both very high caliber (as one would expect from Mistwalker) and I for one hope that if SE does make more games for the 360, that they are like these two.

With a name like that (Infinite Undiscovery) and well the sliver of info I have scrounged up I can't really judge it fairly, but more likely than not I will buy it.

As for Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey I will be getting them this summer when I can gather some funds. They are actually the first on my list to buy as I need more RPGs for my collection.

To further my point I would like to say that as long as Square can pump out a few games (one or two goods ones, they don't have to be exclusive) for the 360 they will have done their part. However, if Square wishes to make only exclusive games for the 360 and they turn out to be major hits, not only would there be more call for 360s in Japan but also they would release more of their Japanese exclusives with foreign audiences.
