So why even attacked Xenoblade when that article was about FF13 and people criticized Square??? You say that i'm accusing you but you are the one who called me blindly defending Nintendo when you just did the same with ff13, why is that? 

"fanboy" i didn't even use that word, but it seems you'd love to be called like that.

Just look at my past history and my thread also you can seach by yourself. I don't have time for you. 

you just clearly used that word  

More like you admit yourself are like that. Maybe i should agree to satisfy you?

Besides, you clearly said like this: "Even Xenoblade 1 cannot be compared to final fantasy 10  in terms of quality and sales" and "even in Xenoblade you just have small world and a lot of empty space even Xenoblade X is just a plain big mass of empty space". Only people who didn't play them could say that. Xenoblade world which could take you over 100 hours and Xenoblade X world which could take you over 200 hours are anything but empty, say that to all the people who played it, they would laugh at you like crazy. 

Cool story bro 

Good, so finally you agree with me that you are wrong, thank you.

I have to agree to disagree when dealing with children or else they will cry

Tomuyuki Takechi, Squaresoft's CEO at the time put it like this:

"Sony basically gave us the best deal they were giving to any publisher. And they did a lot of public relations work and marketing on their dime. They gave us a great deal to help convince us to come over. … I can’t talk about the details, but one thing I can say is that Sony went very low on the per-unit royalties that we had to pay."

Despite it not being a full disclosure of the deal, the tidbits he gave leave no doubt that a lot of money was in play and that's why technological aspects of the console hardware during that generation weren't the decisive factors to put Final Fantasy VII on the PS1. Developers can say what they liked about the PS1 all they want, but when Squaresoft's leadership already decided that the game will be made for the PS1, then it isn't a matter of developer choice to begin with.

And that's the problem with this thread. The title, content and poll are heavily biased despite Squaresoft's CEO telling why the fallout between Squaresoft and Nintendo happened. Yet here you are and take issue with those who disagree with the slant of the OP. You've been around long enough to know that it's common practice for moneyhatted publishers to maneuver around saying that they've been paid off and instead they'll give an excuse for why a certain console was their choice. Final Fantasy VII is over 20 years old, that's why the people involved with it aren't as tightlipped anymore. So now everyone can read up on it and learn that the game went to the PS1 because of money.

Additional excerpts worth of note:

[Note: In October 2001, then Square president Hisashi Suzuki said in an interview that Nintendo became especially frustrated not when Square left, but later when Square helped convince others, such as Enix, to leave as well. Suzuki declined an interview request for this story.]

Squaresoft's deal with Sony locked Square as a whole to the PS1, that's why they were convincing others to go PS1-exclusive as well. Shinchiro Kajitani, vice president of Square USA, sums it up like this:

"When we made the decision to go with Sony, for about 10 years we basically weren’t allowed into Nintendo’s offices. From a consumer’s point of view, it was good to have two companies competing with each other because prices wouldn’t rise and it would be better for them. But from a business perspective, our main interest was making sure that Sony won and Nintendo lost, basically, because that would be better for us."

square and playstation's relationships has only ever been that of a tird party and major developer. an important one but still....

square and nintendo's was almost that of a psudo sencond party dev, like what rare became almost immediatly upon square's departure. nintendo subsitized ALL localization of FF1-6, and more telling, they gve them mario to work with for SMRPG, something that nintendo arely does NOWADAYS, and was almost unheard of back then, we all know how protective nintendo is of their ip....
