What would you guys like future FF's developed on the Gamecube to be like?
And why?
Personally I think they should revamp FF7 and maybe FF8 too and put it on Gamecube, you know like Capcom did with Resident Evil (the first one, not the copys of 2 and Nemesis. I think it would be great especially as they are making a movie of FF7.

I hope you're right, I really do. Skies 2 is my most-wanted game yet TBA, (also hoping for BG&E2 news as well.)

Back on topic, this scan is from a Japanese magazine, unveiling a new FF game with a Cube logo on it. Crystal Chronicles sequel?

I hear the skies sequel is to be unveiled at E3.

Here's a tip I was once tought... every game that is re-released as a special edition GETS a sequel.

It's released twice to gain a larger fan base... REsident Evil did it for example as did MGS2.

Viewtiful Joe had a special edition released, as did Animal Crossing and as is Skies... well it's getting re-released anyway.

A Dreamcast VMU-style screen (but full colour TFT, not LCD of course) embedded in the controller would be perfect for N5, and Ninty would be happy as it would push connectivity - could plug into the DS or GBA2 for example.

Too bloody right, but another would surely not be a bad thing.. FFCC just doesn't have that epic feel, the depth and characterisation to it that Skies had.

In the future, another Gamecube-unique Final Fantasy, but with less dependency on having GBAs. Multi can use them, but controllers can be used as well. I see why Crystal Chronicles was done like it was: Ninty trying to push it's fanatical connectivity crusade.

Without a Skies sequel in the forseeable future though, Square-Enix may have to be relied upon to come up with something that could rival the mighty SoAL.

I'd like Nintendo to include a full colour backlit screen powered via the console its connected to for the N5.

That way, for games that involve this level of interactivity between friends in a game, you wouldn't need to spend £360 for four friends.

Granted their should be two versions of the N5 controller, should this happen. A standard one (which would make a nice profit if it sold for £15 considering the costs of making a controller are so small) and the one with built-in screen for those who wish to spend more on this sort of game, retailing it at the price of a game maybe.

That way, the next Final Fantasy Nintendo release may even reach a larger fanbase!

Want more connectivity FF games but perhaps the next one is more for the N5.

I'd like a Mario RPG port for the GBA and perhaps a new Mario RPG for the Gamecube.

I'd like Crystal Chronicles 2 with support for NORMAL controllers in multi, and a 'proper' FF game - single player epic RPG stylee.

I'd like more games specifically built with the gamecube in mind much like Crystal Chronicles.
