    It's good to see that Microsoft realizes the mistakes it made in the Japanese market and are making an effort to correct them for the next generation. Something that Nintendo always seems to learn too late

    Yeah, Gamecube and Xbox could both do with some more high-profile RPGs.

    I've always said this is why the DC died. You can't have the best system in Japan with out GOOD Rpgs. The two on the DC (that came out way too late) just didn't cut it.

    Skies of Arcadia was decent enough, and it looked great. Hell, it rates 93 on metacritic.

    I think Arcadia was a great game, but I liked Grandia II better. The point is, 2 RPGs aren't going to float a system in Japan. It needs to be a small percentage of the overall library. Anyone seeing a correlation here?

    you will see no ff game on xbox i think cause squaresoft owns the right i think, but since they got the creator for the xbox games maybe he can create another succesfull series of rpgs

    oh was wrong btw. xbox has nice rpg just not a hardcore rpg its the lord of the rings thing whole title i cant remember but it was fun to play and looked like a clone to the ff series =)

    Nice!

    To be honest, I prefer Xbox to PS2. If a game is out on both, I'd get it on xbox.

    Morrowind is on xbox, but I dunno what its like. Probably not that great on a console.

    it's not that bad, but you get a ''laggy'' feeling all the time, the game seems to be running at 20 fps!
    still enjoyable though.
