Oh BTW, Square Enix has 'lineup' of Xbox 360 titles
by Christopher Grant

Since it's a "new" lineup, we're pretty sure that the multiplatform Last Remnant would be included in there; however, we're quite certain that – in the ancient and often unknowable language of PR speak – a "lineup" could be as few as two titles so there may be nothing more to see here. Regardless, they did say "new lineup" so if you must speculate – and we know you must – let's save the "Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 confirmed" diatribes for another day, hmm?

FF7 remake confirmed for 360!? The game to finally make 360 a success in Japan!?!?
ChooChooCharlie (MK 0430-8740-2222) @ May 21st 2008 7:50PM
I would definitely buy that. (never finished it for PS)
Seriously that would probably be one of the best decisions Square Enix could ever make. It's a shame they probably wouldn't since they're so "loyal" to Sony.
360 FFVII remake = goldmine
browntown @ May 21st 2008 7:53PM
It would be better to release it on the wii, or ds. The 360 would be the last console to get a FF7 remake. But it will never happen, it hasn't been that long since it came out, and the battle system is outdated.
Fernando Rocker @ May 21st 2008 7:55PM
A Final Fantasy VI would be a lot better.
I want to see Magiteks in 3D.
=p

I'm putting my balls on the table, and saying....
NEW KINGDOM HEARTS FOR THE XBOX 360!!!
DUNT DUNT DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
*Evil Stare*
ThePremierAssassin @ May 21st 2008 9:32PM
Kingdomn Hearts 3 for the 360 would be SICK!
Exclusive would make it even SICKER! Lol..,.sorry I had to do it...
samfish @ May 22nd 2008 1:10AM
KH3 will be Wii exclusive. I guarantee it.
And there's a rumor that the PS3's FFVII "remake" will just be the original on PSN basically with updated textures and BGs (if you believe(d) Surfer Girl).
ThePremierAssassin @ May 22nd 2008 6:47AM
@ Samfish
What are you basing your claim on? Or is it just wishful thinking? I mean I know theres a KH game in development for the DS but I fail to see how that somewhow translates into the Wii getting Kingdom Hearts 3 exclusively....
I wouldn't mind it being on both the Wii and 360 though.
umm....hello??? @ May 22nd 2008 2:33PM
...as long as they make the magic spells/summonings skippable!!!!!
Chase @ May 21st 2008 7:30PM
Erection city.
ScottyGEE @ May 21st 2008 8:15PM
Already preordered.
Benny @ May 21st 2008 7:32PM
Maybe they'll release My Life As A King on XBLA and drill 360 users in the arse as well.
Benny @ May 21st 2008 7:34PM
Although they did say 'completely new'...
My Life As A Queen, starring Stephen Gately?
Benny @ May 21st 2008 7:35PM
Either way, there's arse-drilling abound!
Yes folks, I'm here all night ;)
J.Goodwin @ May 21st 2008 7:33PM
Could be a sequel to that shooter.
OR: They own GameArts, maybe it's a sequel to Grandia that doesn't suck like III did, OR: GunGriffon3!!!!!
Michael @ May 21st 2008 7:36PM
ZOMG FFXIII iz cuming to 360?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1?!!!!1one
j/k but if some asshole has to say it, it might as well be me
duramas @ May 21st 2008 7:40PM
chrono trigger xbox 360 exclusive~~
J.Goodwin @ May 22nd 2008 6:59AM
Maybe they'll use that Disney license and make Chrono Tigger next.
Fernando Rocker @ May 21st 2008 7:43PM
Super Mario RPG remake confirmed for Xbox 360.
=p
Ninjakamster (XBL: RNK2K) @ May 21st 2008 8:23PM
Why not the Wii Fernando? Seriously, I think that game would make good use of the motion sensing the Wii offers.
Mr Khan @ May 21st 2008 9:21PM
Super Mario RPG doesn't seem like it would fit on Wii, that's why
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ May 21st 2008 7:44PM
It's funny how the 360 is now the place to go to for Rpgs. I mean what does Sony have? FF13 right? And that's really all I can think of.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ May 21st 2008 7:44PM
Oh and White Knight Chronicles.
Fernando Rocker @ May 21st 2008 7:47PM
Well... the place for RPG's now is the DS.
But consoles, yes. The 360 has very good RPG's.
Neptune @ May 21st 2008 7:48PM
Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3, though both are strategy rpgs.
Benny @ May 21st 2008 7:49PM
Does the PS3 actually 'have' those? As it stands those are nothing more than just "Wait until..." arguments PS3 enthusiasts use.
browntown @ May 21st 2008 7:52PM
Folklore is an action rpg, there aren't many yet, but its its second year, the 360 didn't have any in its first year either, but MS is trying hard to pay for some japanese games. Disgaea 3 comes out in america in august, its already out in japan, same with valkyrie chronicles, it will come out in the fall, already out in japan, so u can buy them. Next year will be a better year if FF comes out.
Neptune @ May 21st 2008 7:52PM
VC and D3 have been released in Japan earlier this year.
Benny @ May 21st 2008 8:01PM
Sorry Neptune, my comment was aimed at Vegata, concerning FFXIII and WKS. I didn't realise people would jump on his post so quickly :P
HighFiveJesus @ May 21st 2008 10:42PM
eternal sonata is coming soon to ps3 as well. really, the only rpgs it won't have are the mistwalker ones and the general consensus is they are what they are, but nothing to brag about. Valkyria Chronicles looks awesome too, but who knows if its good.
McWeen @ May 22nd 2008 8:22AM
The PSP has been getting quite a few new RPGs and remakes.
Kujel @ May 21st 2008 7:46PM
A FF VII remake would be cool, and I might rent FF XIII.
browntown @ May 21st 2008 7:49PM
LOL. We already know Last remnant is coming, and im sure they'll be more games for all platforms, the only problem with exclusives is that they won't sell in japan on 360 but on the ps3 they'll sell better in japan and europe but not america, i think the last remnant and infinite undiscovery are a testing ground to see how well the 360 can do for rpg games. They won't stop making ps3 games cuz FF will sell by the boatloads.
HB96st @ May 21st 2008 8:09PM
Uh, more games sell MORE on the 360 than the ps3. it's a Square RPG... FF WILL SELL MORE ON THE 360. Any SquareEnix game will sell more than the ps3 in every territory EXCEPT Japan.
Lard @ May 21st 2008 8:47PM
>FF WILL SELL MORE ON THE 360. Any SquareEnix game will sell more than the ps3 in every territory EXCEPT Japan.
This is a giant load of hooey.
ThePremierAssassin @ May 21st 2008 9:26PM
Uhh no Lard you're full of sh*t. What he said is 100% true.
Any game they release for both systems will sell WAY better on the 360 in America.
It will probably sell better than the ps3 version in Europe OVERALL. In England it will be close but I suspect it would outsell the ps3 version there as well.
And in Japan the ps3 version would sell better.
Its not exactly rocket science...
Square Enix would be dumb not to consider the possiblity of putting a FF game on the 360.
NATO_Duke @ May 22nd 2008 10:09AM
Like it or not folks, the 360 has a better attach rate in the US, and it has a huge install base too.
I don't see why people have a hard time seeing that it would make money to sell 360 versions of the FF games. You may not like the idea of Sony losing them as an exclusive (though FF11 already went 360) but it just makes good sense if making cash is your concern.
That being said, the FF series is one of the reasons I have a PS2 & PS3. I always liked their rpg's and so PS is a must have. If they were to lose their exclusives in FF, it would have to be a damaging blow to them. (As I doubt I am the only one who gets the PS brand for RPG's)
koehler83 @ May 21st 2008 8:24PM
shhhhhh they mean FFXI, that is all.
Lard @ May 21st 2008 8:44PM
Einhander for the 360.
Martez @ May 21st 2008 9:23PM
An Einhander remake on any of the current three consoles would get me salivating. More Einhander.
RastamanD @ May 21st 2008 8:46PM
man i am done with sqaure...last good ones IMO were FF7 and FF8. I handle my RPG fix with some non-linear Oblivion and some slightly linear Mass Effect.
Martez @ May 21st 2008 9:23PM
Really? I felt that FF9 rocked 8 in its stupid face.
RastamanD @ May 21st 2008 11:48PM
i liked squall...:) he had a badass scar and i was in 6 grade when i got the game. that game was so great when i got it. i think its because i really dug the school...and the assassination part was sweet.
too bad i lost my copy of 8...least i still have 7
Lard @ May 21st 2008 8:48PM
>FF WILL SELL MORE ON THE 360. Any SquareEnix game will sell more than the ps3 in every territory EXCEPT Japan.
This is a giant load of hooey and balderdash.
Professor Lario @ May 21st 2008 8:56PM
All the old action adventure games released on XBLA! Secret of Mana, etc...
ThePremierAssassin @ May 21st 2008 9:20PM
I wouldn't mind some Final Fantasy Love
Specifically I would love to play FF10 and FFXIII. I loved 10 and 13 might turn out to be a decent game.
Rein @ May 21st 2008 9:32PM
Perhaps it's Star Ocean IV. That's my guess.
pavs @ May 21st 2008 9:41PM
Any FF game will sell amazing, no matter what system its on. Same for the monster hunter games (just look at the PSP boost from that game)
So the real question is, where would most sales come from, and the answer is easy, Japan. Crisis Core sold more copies in Japan on its first week than it did in US and Europe in a month combined. So considering the larger install base PS3 has in Japan, and that base will become much bigger after MGS4, SquareE would be stupid to make FF 360 exclusive. However, they would also be smart to make it a multiplatformer, like GTAIV. That would boost their sales in NA and Europe.
erico316 @ May 21st 2008 9:54PM
you have a point but i dont see sqaure enix backing the xbox 360 anytime soon infintey un look bad as hell and look like its had been rush square enix takes thier time with rpg they want to make good a rpg 2-3 years to be exact if its not on ps3 or psp or ds dont expect a great rpg from them.You guys remeber that space shooter they made last year for 360.
xFenixKnightx @ May 21st 2008 10:19PM
Man one poster mentions FF7 remake and teh thread goes nuts. I beat that game. Loved every minute of it. Probably the only RPG I've ever gone through since I'm not the biggest RPG fan (especially JRPG). So IMO, YES FF7 would be mother flipping awesome (although its not even a rumor yet) *sad face* if remade for 360.
360...the place for
Shooters
RPGs
JRPGs
Sports
Multiplayer games
Multiplat games
Heck...all games in general. FTW!!!
