"I don't know Clerks, but I pretty much agree with you.
However, it is also true that every Final Fantasy games sold at least one million copies. That means that it must be pretty popular."
Clerks is good, you should watch it sometime.
Popularity does not matter, that is what I was trying to get at.
"Yeah, but it some of these "probablys" were just recently announced. Square's affiliates just recently announced that the rumor game to be Final Fantasy Unlimited is true.
Most of the "probablys" were started because some websites made assumptions, so don't completely put the blame on people who talk about them."
Yes, I had known that FFU was the game to be made for the Cube, however, it is not confirmed that is will be a series, or even another one to be made after.
Blame is not something I'm here to be giving. I am only showing that I disagree, or do not believe what was said.
"Oh, I still remember that, but I was just stating that part just to let some people know. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know that they will be getting money until someone told me."
Understood, however, it is not as big of a deal as it was made out to be.
"Listen, I can understand if you are cynical when pointing out my mistakes, but don't say that I work for any company again. It's been used too many times, and now I find it incredibly annoying. Just called me a psychic or Miss Cleo if you must, but don't say that I work for a certain company again."
I had no idea you detest it so much, therefore, it shall not be repeated.
"How about Square themselves? GameSpot just released an article which shows that the PS2 is still their main console. The only reason they are making GameCube games at all is so they can make ports for the GameBoy Advance."
Yes, I have read that article as well, however, it does not say that the only reason is for the ports, but it does say the the PS2 will be their main console for FF XI and FF XII, if I remember correctly. Who's to say what happens afterwards?
"I know."
Glad to hear it.
"Because Capcom and Enix isn't in financial problems after making a very expensive movie that flopped. And for one thing, neither of them are known for sticking to one console.
During the NES/Master System and SNES/Genesis days, SquareSoft stick mainly to Nintendo. Now during the days of PSX/N64/Saturn and PS2/GCN/Xbox, they are mainly sticking to Sony.
The only reason they want to release Final Fantasy XI on all of the consoles is so they can insured its success more since it is a completely online game."
I wouldn't say Square of Japan is in any financial situation, where as SquareUSA maybe, but SUSA does not make the games.
I still have my doubts that FF XI will be coming to the cube, although it is a possibility. If it did, I would assume it to be tough to make the different consoles compatible with one another, and possibly not worth the capital.
"First of all, the same person(Shigeru Miyamoto) made all of the Super Mario games. Square's affiliate are making this game instead of Square themselves.
Secondly, what is wrong withg Final Fantasy:Mystic Quest? Is it because it is too easy? You may not know this but it was made to be easy. This game was meant to bring non-RPG fans to the genre more. And I just happen to like it too.
Yes, I know the Final Fantasy movie flopped, but what does this have to do with video games other than the fact that it is based on one?"
I know such things. I had only used Mario as an example because so many games have been put out, but the quality was not degraded.
I was disapointed by FF:USA not because of the easiness of it, but for the lack of a good plot and characters. I also detested the DragonQuest style battle system. I also do know FFUSA was created to hook Nintendo fans to the RPG genré, but I also know that it failed way back when. It was some-what a mockery to the real RPGs, not to insult your tastes.
As for the Movie reference, I was only using it to show that a company can put out something poor of quality, whatever it may be, and continue to do other things in a quality manner.
"Mainly because Sony owns 20% of Square, which pretty much ensures that the new series won't be exclusive unless it is on a Sony system. I know 20% isn't enough to keep Square from doing certain things, but it is enough to do that."
Actually, I did some research of my own on this, and Sony owns 19% of Square. 19% is not enough to prevent Square from going to Nintendo exclusively. Square needs at 75% to 25% majority vote on large matters such as that, and 19% isn't enough to cover the 25%, if every non-Sony affilated Square employee wanted to make the move. Not to say that it would happen.
"Well, if you go to a website called GameSpot, then you could read an article about SquareSoft making an offical statement about Final Fantasy Unlimited becoming their new series"
And that I have done, yet I have still to find an article that confirms FFU to be a new Series, new game, yes, Series, no.
"I care because I'm an RPG fan who only owns a GCN, and if I do buy FF:U, then I want it to be as good as the PS FFs. And it doesn't matter to me that the PS is getting more FF games."
Well then, just because an affiliate is making FFU does not mean that it will be any worse. In fact, Square is said to be working closly with it's affilate and the team even has people who worked on games such as Legend of Mana, which while it wasn't great, wasn't too bad.
"I don't want to. You are a different person than I am.
Okay, now that I'm done. I will try to see all of this from your point of view. So would it be asking too much for you to see this from my point of view?"
No, it's not too much to ask, that is why I ask you to sell me on your perspective, in that way, I can understand your point of veiw all the more.
