Square adopts the Nintendo curse

Oh, Square-Enix, what have you done? Why are you doing this to the legends?
First off, Nintendo has a tendency to milk the ca$h cow...to death. If you haven't notice, Square-Enix seems to be picking that up.
"Hey, PSO was good, lets make FF11 online!" "Oh, yeah, lets sell out to Disney!" "Those kids love them some Halo, lets make an FF7 shooter!"
Even 12 is fuck-ed up, with a gay new combat system.
At least their spin-offs are good, unlike...SMSunshine, Luigi's Mansion, SMBaseball, SMSoccer,...

D.o.C.=Pretty cool, still a spinoff.

Then why'd you compare D.o.C (3rd Person) To Halo(1st Person).Halo isn't shit to me,all you X-Box fan boys take that to the bank.

FF12 got a 40/40 in Famitsu, which is UNHEARD OF. There are only a handful of game that have ever achieved such a high honor. The only two that I can think of are Nintendogs and Ocarina of Time.

Personally, I'm glad. I want their shit to be on the Wii. Do you want to pay $60-$70 to get Squeenix stuff on a 360/PS3? I don't. Starting with Dreamcast, I think RPGs have all the hardware power that they generally need. It isn't supposed to look like some super-fancy first person shooter. It's an RPG. Dragon Quest 9 on PS3? What the fuck would be the point? DC/PS2/GC/Xbox could do the DQ8 engine perfectly, and it is MEANT to look cartoony, not realistic. If that ended up on PS3 or 360, we'd be paying extra for nothing.

Those are just my thoughts. Sure, some RPGs (maybe FF13) can use the PS3's amazing hardware and all that bullcrap, but as an avid RPGer, I'd rather have the majority of them come out cheap as hell for the Wii. That way I can fork over huge bucks for games that actually NEED great graphics to enhance the overall experience (Resident Evil 5) for the PS3.

Touche', touche'. It's just these changes, Gyro. I mean, FF8 was my first RPG, and I never wanted it to change from that. I mean, you'd understand if Samba was released as a new survivial-horror game, you'd be upset.

Hey, now. I only said that S-E have put FF in an odd place. Never they suck. Naysaying Square? Perposterous. Besides, KH is one of my fav games. Meanie.
