Square Enix working with Microsoft

http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05...s_6124746.html

Quote:

The biggest story of the press conference surprised many attendees at the Shrine Auditorium. Microsoft announced that Square Enix, a longtime partner with Microsoft rivals Nintendo and Sony, will be bringing Final Fantasy XI to the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.

So, Squenix finally heads towards the world of Microsoft. Thoughts?

EDIT: Please note that this thread is for discussing the Square Enix / Microsoft side of things, not the Final Fantasy XI side of things. If you want to discuss Final Fantasy XI being released on the X-Box 360, there's a thread I've made in the Final Fantasy XI forum for that. Thanks. :)

Doesn't matter to me. As long as they still make games for the PS3 I'm happy.

I'm glad. It's really a bummer having a system and then having a bunch of really good games released on rival systems... for those of us who can barely afford the games, buying a new system is completly out of the question. I hope all FF games will eventually be cross-platformed.

I don't mind. If they make different games and some other good RPGs come out for Xbox I might even buy one at some point.

Final Fantasy for Xbox 360.

"Microsoft aims to have between 25 and 40 games available for the Xbox 360 by the end of the year, including Final Fantasy XI and an official NFL American Football title."

It doesn't matter. This is about as relevant as Capcom announcing an XB360 title.

I can see the good and bad side of things in this, but for me its kinda sick. I Find XBOX to be the incest rabbid retard kid birthed by an evil nostril monster that sucks all your money and gives u crap... and Square is falling into its very lures of doom...

I hope they dont release ANYTHING else for the XBOX, but if they do, it better not be nething FF...

That's somewhat of a relief to me. I'd heard that Square-Enix was going to do something for Xbox 360, but if it's just FFXI, I can probably just buy the PS3 rather than both that and XB360. Assuming, of course, that I can live without Blue Dragon, Ninety Nine Nights, and Bioware console games.

Just consider how long people were around for before video games. I think you'll survive.
