I'm going for Microsoft buying up Sakaguchi, but at the end of the day, I will be very interested to see how many of these titles actually go western, and whether they'll be good, or simply crap. (Mostly in the translation area) |

I'm not pouting! (Simpsons!)
Nah, I don't care whether it'll be 'quality' because I won't be buying an Xbox, aside from the principle, I won't have the money anymore thanks to lovely uni! |

I'm sure Mistwalker has design skill (Sakaguchi has 20+ years of experience designing games). My worry is whether MGS can implement the ideas to any relevant extent. If the quality of the RPGs doesn't at least somewhat match Square Enix, what's the point? I doubt they're waiting for the next Baten Kaitos (Masato Kato) or Xenosaga (Takahashi). |

Yeah that's true, if they can't match the rest, they'll just die. They are new, so I agree with implementing the ideas. I suppose time will tell. |

I think Sakaguchi's leaving Square was inveitable, and going over to Microsoft was probably the best choice. The Mistwalker games will probably start out a little shaky, as Sakaguchi gets used to working with both new hardware and new developers, as well as they to him, but in the end, it might spur up competition between Square and Mistwalker, which is always a good thing. |
