    Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are just names these days. Neither are what they were in the past, especially Final Fantasy. Can't say I care to be hones although I'm sure it will do wonders for sales.

    I would have preferred them both on the same platform, either Wii or DS.

    I'm a little shocked its going to the Wii. I more exspected it to stay on the DS because i'm pretty sure 9 will sell like crazy with the DS's user base.

    I guess maybe they felt by the time X would be done that the sucessor to the DS might have just recently came out.

    Either way it's kind of interesting to see Enix side is pushing big support on nintendo products and the Square side is pushing big support on playstation products.

    Well it's supposed to be in a mmo style (up to 4 people can play together or something like that). And the wii version is the same as the DS version (no updated graphics or anything). The wii version can then be one of the 4 players. It's supposed to work a lot like how Crystal Chronicles Echos of time works. But I guess it's still all rumor for now.

    Mistwalker "imitations"??

    LO would be great if it wouldn't pretend to be a "copy" of FF. It had the potential in some ways (the small stories are great) but ...

    And blue dragon is boooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiingggggggg and has technical issues ...

    Game franchises they need to bring back:

    Phantasy Star (not like the online versions, I mean really bring back, yet updated)

    Shining Force (I hear rumors of it coming back to the old strategy base)

    Breath of Fire

    I'd like to play 4. I've played a bit of 3 and so far it's kind of boring.

    Yeah, I have a friend who told me BOF 3 was the best RPG on PS1...I just don't see it. It's not bad or anything, I just don't see it.

    NOW do you see.....?
    You can ask for any old woman
    You can ask for an army of ants
    You can ask for a pillar of poison
    You can ask for sheep and shavers

    And you can die for
    Be careful what you wish for
