The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Not a review, preview or freeview of the game, just a thought about it.
I think I read somewhere that FF XI will be a MMORPG, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Square have announced that it will appear on X-Box and PS2.
Now heres my thought for the day. EVVVVEEEERYYYYONNNNEE knows about Squares and Nintendos cat fight a few years back, and they both haven't talked to eachother in a few years. BUT. Considering that Square want to make as much money as possible from subscribers to the game, Square would be fools not to market it on Gamecube as well.
So what does this mean altogether?
Firstly, we have the first multi CONSOLE game, mulitplayer on X-BOX and PS2. Possibly Gamecube later.
Secondly, there is a good chance that other developers will follow their lead, I.E. Infograms, the makers of Unreal, especially.
Why Infograms? They have just joined forces with a group in Japan, therefore increasing their market with console games. They have announced to work on all consoles, so another multi console game (Unreal 2, perhaps?) will be probable.
Thirdly, Nintendo and Square could kiss and make up, bringing RPGs back to the system.
Really, this is all about the future of multiplayer games, I.E. Rpgs on different consoles, first person shooters on a X-Box agaisnt people with a Gamecube.
Ahhh, the future is cooking well, and smells just right. Don't let it boil for too long though, as we'll have a big mess on our hands.
(What the hell does that mean?)
Uh, Square and Nintendo, OI!, get it sorted!
(God you are odd...)

Oh dear. I've just realised what I've wrote.
Ahhhh! Thank you BJ!
There's no telling some people.
Square made some great games for the SNES (Chrono Trigger being one of my favourite games ever) and the N64 was a poorer console for not having any Square games developed for it.
As the Gamecube will apparently be easier to program for it wouldn't be a problem to also release FF XI on this platform, so Square would sell more units and get all of the publicity for being on so many different platforms.
Of course they're it it for the money. So are Nintendo.
Nintendo won't release Zelda on another platform as they created the character, and have the platform to play it on. Square only make money from selling the game, so the more people that can buy it the better for them.

Apparently, I hate Square, and I love Nintendo.
Also, ghostface is continuing to argue over nothing.

I don't really know what you are all going on about.
Of course, they didn't leave Nintendo because of the expensive development costs and restrictions of the cartridge either.
As Babylonian once said, all developers, makers, producers and all, are ALL in it for the money.
Otherwise they'll be giving their games away.
Although Square do have a very dedicated personel, and I have nothing agaisnt them at all, in fact I believe them to be one of the finest game makers on the planet.
Why are you still arguing with me?

Ah! There is humour on this forum! Glad to see its return after a long absense!
