"Square Enix - Kings of RPG?"

On the SNES they were legendary, and made some cracking RPGs (Chrono Trigger, Evermore, Mana, FF), and then the bust-up, giving the PSone a handful of FF gems to boast.

But now back on good terms with Ninty, can Square still pull it out of the bag. Crystal Chronicles was pretty good, but the repetative gameplay, poor battle system and annoying multiplayer setup left me slightly dissapointed.

FF 1-2 Dawn of Souls is schedlued for December, and there are rumours of a FF 7,8 and 9 package on the 'Cube, whilst Square have confirmed a handful of titles for the DS, including a Mana and Crystal Chronicles series.

But with games like Fable, Jade Empire and Paper Mario 2 coming out very soon, are Square still the kings of RPG and can they still produce the quality games they once did for the SNES and PSone?

Pokémon money spinning? Whatever next.. :D

Ruby and sapphire are so big, and it even has up to 9 legendaries in it, including (why didn't i notice this after E3 this year) the 3 Regi's :D Also one of the best flying types in any of the games is one of them, and that is Rayquaza, and do you know why? because it's the most powerfullest dragon bird type in the games ever. p

Yep I must get Ruby or Sapphire now, but I should be able to get a cheap one from ebay. I hope. :-S

Well theyreally wanted to wait until they could release fire red and leaf green onto gba so they could let you finish off the ruby/sapphire pokedex

Yes, I can't see why they couldn't do that.

I was disappointed with uby because they only included a selection of the older Pokemon.

They better all be acessible.

I want Johto/Kanto/Hoenn and a new area accessible with the 386 old and 50 or whatever new. That would make tphi happy.

Oh christ no.

I'm just getting my head around the Ruby monsters.

There'll be a new batch in the DS games. How big I dunno, but there will be more.

Yes, even after about 6 years is it? The Pokemon series is still going strong, although I don't think they can make any more 'batches' of Pokemon. The've got three already!

well, with ratings of at least under 50/100 though, at least pokemon can keep up in the 80 or 90's
