The Darkness Bu Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Final Fantasy X smashes yet another record in its existence: it is now the first ever PS2 game to push 4,000,000 copies out of manufacturing. Even with this impressive news, Square will still end the fiscal year on a sour note, with net losses of $133 million. These come as a result of the failed Final Fantasy: The Spririts Within endeavour. Source and credit: The G.I.A. It has been noted that Square has delayed the release of Final Fantasy XI for PlayStation 2 to April, to coincide with the launch of Sony's PlayStation 2 broadband services in Japan. Once more concrete information is available, it will be passed on to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I'm not too surprised that Final Fantasy X is the top selling PS2 game. The marketing behind it is phenominal and there's enough fanboys to keep the series alive forever. It really deserves to be on the top though. As for Final Fantasy XI...it's looking better everytime I see it anyway but I still think I'll be a little disappointed with it in a few ways.

shibatku Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I know FFXI is going to be online but someone said something about FFX going online or something is this true????? Oh and I hope they don't lose so much money that FFXI is delayed??:bawl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 FFX will not be online. I doubt that FFXI's delay will make them lose much money. Any true fan will wait it out. Square'll make sure it's perfect, so that they don't release a lackluster game and lose money in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on this, I see FFXI as more of a game designed to launch Sony's online network (and what better game to do so?) but moreover, I think that it will be a test of how well the game works and is received. If it is received well, then I am sure Square would consider more online FF games in the future.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
