Claims?  It was in an article.  But sure give me a few minutes to look it up.  Sony negotiated a publishing deal for FF7 and got "Right of first refusal" to FF Tactics and two other games.

Here ya go.

"In December 1996, Sony Computer Entertainment America agreed to a multi-title publishing deal with Square Co. Ltd., allowing the company full North American publishing and distribution rights to Square's PlayStation product line. Along with rights to publish the revolutionary Final Fantasy VII, Sony Computer Entertainment America has first rights of refusal on three additional PlayStation exclusive releases, Bushido Blade(TM), Final Fantasy(R) Tactics and SaGa Frontier(TM)."

Yeah... fundign a game = buying a game.

Unless you think Sony was willing to allow them to go multi-plat with it.

Didn't he get stripped of his modship?

 He isnt a mod anymore lolz

the 360 is the one that needs a savior when it comes to selling JRPGS ^_^

FF game possible to complete in 40-50hrs? One of the most beloved FF games, FFIX rewards you if you find and defeat Hades (Is a synthesis shop owner) in under 12 hours. He is located in the games final area. So the game can be finished in up to 13-15 hours easy.

FF VIII was pretty much the same. Take the time in the starting area of the game and you can actually make yourself a "Lionheart". After that point the game is pretty much a breeze. You can make Irvine his best weapon and ammo for it really early. You can kill that game in under 25hrs if you want, it has this one Island where you literally gain levels each battle, you also reach lvl 100 for multiple characters if you take the trip down to find Ultima Weapon.

Euphoria14, i meant for FIRST time playthrough and without FAQs. =)

Shit...I might lose my bet :/
