Forums - Gaming Discussion - Kingdom Hearts 3, Dragon Quest X, Final Fantasy XIV

I know the last of these games is very, very far in the future. Just speculate for a bit.

Of the three major Square Enix franchises, where do you think each will go?  My personal guesses are: PS3, Wii, PS3, but I wouldn't be surprised if it went Wii/Wii/PS3 either. To be honest -- while this thread is intended to discuss all three games -- Kingdom Hearts 3 is the only one we can REALLY make any solid estimations on, since it's by far the most likely of the 3 to already be in development.

Any thoughts?

Ehh dont expect FXIV any time soon.

SE has the capability to put those on every platform but they arent like that.

Expect one only on the wii one only on PS3 and a multi one.

Yeah, I specifically said it's far in the future :p

I think this is a reasonable estimate, by the way. I feel confident in saying FF will stay on the Playstation. I feel confident in saying DQ will move to the Wii (confidence here means "quite likely," not "I have insider information and I'm absolutely certain"). Kingdom Hearts? I'm not so sure about, which is why this topic is most directly about that franchise. Not only can I imagine it moving consoles, but KH3 will almost certainly be released well before either of the other two games we're discussing. I can imagine it going to the Wii, both because of the system's install base and because it's a Disney game -- I think the "family" image of the Wii fits that perfectly. I can imagine it staying on the PS3 because Square didn't know how poorly the PS3 would do when they started development of the game, or they feel it's worth the risk to stay loyal to Sony even in the face of poor sales thus far. I can even imagine KH3 going to 360: Square DID say that they intend to support all three systems this time around, Microsoft has a boatload of money, and they've been chucking particularly large globs of it towards the RPG developers.

Well, maybe one or more of those titles could actually end up going multiplatform. But if Wii keeps selling like it does in Japan I don't think Square Enix can afford to keep all of its big franchises away from the Wii.



I think KH3 will end up on the PS3, but there should be a spinoff for the Wii.
DQ series will end up in the DS, because it has the largest userbase. I expect DQIX to sell extremely well on the DS.
FFXIV... Depends on sales on the PS3 and wheter or not FFXIII ends up multi (I doubt it)

I would think that of the 3 Dragon Quest has the best chance of going to the Wii, and it is likely that Wii ends up with another one of those 2 while the remaining go to PS3.  Perhaps FF14 on PS3.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

FF XIV isn't coming out this generation.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

I'm almost possitive that KH3 will be PS3 exclusive, not because of sqaure-enix, but because of Buena Vista Games (Disney).  With their company solely supporting blu-ray they may want to keep it on Sony's platform to support it. As for FF and DQ i think we'll be waiting a little longer for those. SE has enough projects on their hands.

I expect Dragon Quest 10 to be on Wii or DS and Kingdom Hearts 3 on PS3.



Kingdom Hearts III ( the game after Mickeys letter in ending, a wii exclusive)
Kingdom Hearts: The Keyblade Wars, for PS3, and maybe 360 too.
Kingdom Hearts: Mickeys Quest, for DS.
The first and third will have a bigger focus on Disney characters, and the 2nd one more focus in the 3 characters shown in the secret ending of Final Mix 2.
Dragon Quest X, Wii exclusive. Dragon Quest Monsters Wii too, with a good battle system that hopefully pokemon will copy for consoles in the future.
Final Fantasy XIV, not this gen. There are 3 more FFXIII games coming, with probably more remakes.
Im betting one FFXIII for Wii, one for DS, and one for PSP.
Final Fantasy VII remake for the PS3, of course.
And Star Ocean IV for PS3, seeing the 2 remakes are going to PSP.
