Squaresoft's loss, I love final fantasy but am not paying $600 to play it, I barely have time to play my current 360 and PC games, scratch that, I don't have time, I can do without FF if they refuse to bring it to 360.  I currently play GOW and WoW, once Halo 3 comes then I'll really have no life.  Enjoy lower sales Enix.
FF is about the most repetitive game you could ever think of.  Do a fight, cure cure cure, run around fight, cure cure cure, find items, go sell.  Fly around, land, run around for random fight, cure cure cure.  Repeat, repeat.  FF 2 for SNES and FF7 for PS are the only FF games I ever beat or liked.

Right - every game is gonna have repeatition to some degree, but  with shooters, sports, and racers, the repeatition is more so than it is with Final Fantasy. In Final Fantasy, there are tons of sidequests and other things you can do in the game to make it last longer and feel less linear and repeatitive. I'm sure some of the Final Fantasy games have multiple endings too (or at least different paths you can take). Basically, Final Fantasy isn't exactly as straightforward and simple as most Xbox games are.

this is a crap game.. for nerds of japan...

so unfortnatly.. if xbox wont have a copy of final fantasy.. it just prevents more japanese gamers buying a xbox360 and even more japanese developers producing games for the japanese market... pathetic.. xbox360 needs to make a dent in the japanese market if they really want to win the console wars...

if at anytime now.. this would be the perfect time for bill to get out his cheque book and pen and sign this as a xbox 360 exclusive...

personally id rather be whipped naked and set on fire than play this game...

An example might be.. imagine halo 3 being a playstation 3 exclusive... surely that would effect which next-gen console you would buy....

who cares, gives me one of a few reasons to own a PS3!

Sounds a like literal analogy to me
"currently a completely blank page"
If M$ wants a new FF title the 360
then it will have to be the beginning of its own and new FF title in the franchise.
Unless $ony has completely locked out the rights, which seems unlikely with a release on the Wii.
If it makes sense for M$ to pay the big$ to start its own FF series then they will...
With the 360 a dismal failure in Japan and American gamers luke warm to RPG's it seems unlikely.

i actually own a ps3 (for ebay reasons im sure alot of us do... ) and i can assure you there is no fun to be had on that thing(at least in my opinion), the only thing i have used it for so far is to watch blu-ray movies, i mean dont get me wrong i have downloaded the free demos(only to turn around and delete them minutes later)...,
 my wife actually asked me why the ps3 had a controller, i honestly couldnt give her a good reason other than using them to press play/pause or fast foward on dvds...LOL, ...POS

Oh i have one, im just looking for justification! see sig \/

[Liquidvlade Hiraduo]

I have a PS3 but honestly, if it does cool, if it doesnt meh. The only FF I would buy on a next gen would be VII if it was ever remade and maybe X thats it. Rest of them

  zZzZZzzzzZZZ...

Maybe sony made a deal with them to not put the FF game on 360 so more people will waste $600 on a PS3 to play a repetative game.

[Neoistheone2000]

Guss this is Sony's last chance to get people to play FF on the PS3. (Wonder how much money Sony gave Square Enix?)

[Rustmonkey]

Big surprise - when will the gaming industry realize that the Japanese market loves to play board-game like RPGs and that Americans just love to shoot RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) - we all realize the truth, we all happy  Sony's PS2 had oodles more RPGs in Japan than ever hit the states - and well the Xbox had explosions that the North American continent generally liked... Me like big boom... oh and car crashes...

So sony rules japan and therefore rules the turn based rpg - MS is winning in the states because it knows how to cater to people that live in the states and in turn sony knows how to cater to its own region.

FF games are great! Of course you can vaguely focus and finish the story in short time (but not in 1 day like many games solo campaigns!), and miss more than half the secrets of the game... So I'm not estonished, casual RPGists may dislike them. But true RPG specialists loved them (2 months minimum is an average to catch all the great side stuff and that's what makes you proud when you finish it the complete way, you know that not many players have patience and method to accomplish that -of course walkthrough's help a lot-)

About FF13 not coming to xbox360 :

Wouldn't situation be unfair otherwise?
Have you heard about Blue Dragon RPG being ported to PS3?

Each side has it's big RPG. Fair enough for me.

Only problem I see for RPG fans owning xbox360 is the quite unreasonable taste of the western mass for online FPS with solo campaigns lasting just a few hours. It probably makes game designers think twice before spending too much money in a long run game...
Maybe money will push everything to look like a XBLA short game...

And reading this forum will make Square-Enix think it's not even worthy to bring big RPG's to xbox360 players (reading japan sales charts actually, where Blue Dragon bundles sold, but not as many as expected)

[lowendfrequency]

I for one would love to see the FF series come to the xbox and while I'm sad that it won't... I can't say I'm suprised.   No biggie, we've got Mistwalker.  Sakaguchi and Uemastu are making games for us, and fresh new games at that.  Things are looking much better for us JRPG fans than last gen.

I had my doubts about the X360 since release, when they announced that they "bought-out" the story director of the original FF-series (before FF8, etc.). Oh well, I guess I'll go back to my PS2, PS1, and SNES for real good games.. heck I can play those on my computer.

In the meantime, I'm curious what good RPGs will come to X360. Maybe they can shed some light (or.. life?) into this console -.-

Sorry, came off a bit too harsh at first.

[gamemaster14]

If square even has any plans to release a Final Fantasy on the 360 they probably wouldnt officially anounce it until all the ps3 gamers have had a chance to buy that version. Simular to how Sega Announced VF5 after the ps3 version came out.

These companies know about the huge install base of xbox 360 in the usa and I doubt they will ignore it.

yeah I agree... Wouldn't that be something if they decided to do the FFVII re-release on the 360 though.
