Square news
Posted by @ 8:23 AM, EST
GameSpot scored some info from Square’s ongoing Millennium show.
Here’s a slice of their article:

"Final Fantasy IX features characters that are smaller in size compared to the recent Final Fantasy games (a bit more similar to the older FF titles) and are somewhat cartoony. A maximum of four characters can be formed in a party. Meanwhile, from what was said at the show, Final Fantasy X could aptly be described (graphically) as the "Shenmue of the PlayStation2" at this point - it looks very realistic. The game is still in early development stages, but Square has announced it will include its own online network software in the game called Play Online. Final Fantasy XI was announced as well, and it came with the tag line "Online Another World." The company has only revealed that the title will be an online RPG for the PS2."

Comment: Yeah, you are right about them working on FF9 while making FF8 but the truth of it is that the FF series has gone downhill since FF6(I know, I have played every american FF ever released, including the terrible Mystic Quest). I'm waiting for Crono Cross for PSX, I have all but given up on FF.

Comment: I just want to let you guys know that they were working on Final Fantasy IX a LONG time ago, probably about a year & a half to three years ago, not necessarily on making the game but on the story and character design...whenever they are done with one, they are thinking of another story/gameplay and/or character/s.
