"Looking for more Final Fantasy following the Xbox 360 port of Final Fantasy XI? Then you're going to have to look to a different next generation system. A Square Enix executive has disclosed to Japan's Nikkei BP that the company currently has no plans for Final Fantasy games on the 360.

Noting that the PS3 is getting Final Fantasy XIII, the website asked Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto if the Wii or Xbox 360 will also be getting games in the series. "For the Wii, we have FF Crystal Chronicles in production," replied Hashimoto. "As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."

Strong words from Hashimoto, although perhaps if everyone goes out and buys Last Remnant (that includes you!), Square Enix will have a change of heart."

Sounds like a time limited exclusivity agreement to me. I seriously doubt Square Enix are going to leave such a large source of revenue as the 360 userbase untapped by Final Fantasy.

They're only selling about 2000 Xbox a month in Japan right?

Ah well can't say i was too interested in XIII after seeing the battle system and such, though it would have been nice to have it on the 360 as it might have increased sales of the 360 in Japan and given us more J-RPG's on it.

Meh, Blue Dragon's better anyway :-D

Well, they didn't say 'we're not producing anything for 360' did they? Just that nothing is set yet.

Still, it might help Sony shift a few more units!
