Null, I wasn't talking about Square "jumping ship". I was talking about Square also developing FFXI for XBox on top of PS2 is the XBox is successful in the US and Europe. Capcom does, so do many other developers.

Whats holding up Square from this is not themselves though,it is most probably Sony. Sony owns a little under 1/5 of Square, so they have a big say in the matter. But I can easily imagine Square out voting Sony if the X-Box is successful in Japan and Europe.

It would just be too easy to develop for XBox considering it seems all set up for what FFXI needs. It makes sense economically to do so. You seem to think that Square is loyal to Sony because of some honor code or just because they have the most consoles out there. Thats rediculous. If that was the case Capcom would have never released Genma Omnimusha on the X-Box, much less make all those improvements.

If the money is there, Square WILL come... eventually.
