Well unless FF14(15? if 14 MMO.) gets announced for the Wii 2 or something exclusive.

Hey and Ogre Battle 64 ruled! But yeah... What was with the N64 and RPGs?

Dear Sony,

Now that was uncalled for. I can understand comparing the situation, but saying that this was deserved? Anybody who is glad that this is happening because of "payback" is a fanboy.

so touchy.... anyway, great use of Scrubs!

Not in the fact itself but in the reaction sure it is. So funny.

The difference between now and '96 is that SE changed ship because of the N64s crappy cartridges. Square wanted what Ninty couldn't provide, and that was space/storage. Now it's just M$ moneyhatting. But at least the PS3 version is still being made, right?

That's what people say...

I'm sure the 100 million dollar marketing campaigns sony used to promote FF7 at the forefront didn't hurt the decision either.

Yeah, the FFVII situation was much much worse. We're still getting XIII and the Versus spinoff (supposedly still exclusive)

True that might be, but any self proclaiming JRPG fan cant not not get a 360 now. There is a massive lineup of JRPG's on 360 that you cant ignore. The PS3 reminds me of the N64 or Xbox 1. Great games are far and few between and it costs a ton. Does everyone really think that FF fans will wait untill late 2009 to play their first decent JRPG? I think now it's out on the 360 they will pick one up and play through LO, BD, ES, TLR,TOV,IU,SO4 in the meantime until FF13 arives.

That's true... I mean the one arguement people made against the "360 is the RPG console" was FF13.

Pretty hard to argue now...

Urm NO, Square(and Enix with DragonQuest) were considering the N64 and Saturn for their games but were severely moneyhated by Sony, nice new office block Square got out of the deal for switching to PS1 too.

Not true. Sony did pay for marketing, which was because Final Fantasy VII FMV could sell systems (which it did).

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

That was perhaps the most hurtful moment in all my years of gaming. This is not even close though comparable.

Ditto... I still remember getting all my gaming info each month from Diehard Gamefan, Game Informer, GamePro, etc. and I remember looking at the early 3-D character models for the supposed N64 version and thinking "Man this is gonna be the greatest thing ever!"...
