My guess is that Chrono 3 and Kingdom Hearts 2 won't be released on PS2 until at least early 2005. Quite possibly more like late 2005 though. Final Fantasy XII on the other hand seems like it will be revealed at TGS or next E3, so I guess we shouldn't expect FFXII until late 2004 or early 2005. Kind of disappointing. But let's hope it's worth the wait.
Future Outlook For Square-Enix
Final Fantasy XI - Spring 2004
Final Fantasy X-2 - Fall 2003
Unlimited Saga - Summer 2003
Drakenguard - 2004
Star Ocean 3 - Spring 2004
Dragon Warrior VIII - Late 2004/2005 I would imagine.
Final Fantasy XII - late 2004/early-mid 2005.
Chrono 3 - late 2005
Kingdom Hearts 2 - late 2005
All exclusive to PS2 except FFXI. Pretty impressive. Square published TONS of games on PSX, at least 20. That trend may not happen on PS2. These past 2 E3's have been very disappointing from Square, but looks like things will heat up starting by mid 2004 with FFXI, then SO3, then probably FFXI and the 2005 titles.
By the way, other RPGs to look out for:
Arc The Lad: Twilight Of the Spirits - June 2003
the rest of the .hack// series - May 2003, August 2003, December 2003
Chaos Legion (Capcom) - Nov 2003
Tales Of... [insert title here] (Namco) - late 2004/2005
Xenosaga Episode 2 (confirmed to be in development) - 2005
Dark Cloud 3 (confirmed) - 2005 most likely
Probably another Suikoden from Konami
Probably another Breath Of Fire from Capcom
possibly others like another Legaia, Legend Of Dragoon from SCE (or so we hope), and more from GameArts (Grandia 3 or Lunar?)
Heh.. notice how 2002/early 2003 was PS2's huge RPG spurt... looks like late 2004/2005 will be yet another rpg onslaught for PS2
