anyway damn it i dont care they should bring the games out here anyway on the GBA

:P

i can be very demanding from game companies

hell YES.
FFX expansion makes Satsuki happy! GO AURON!

Why is everyone excited about the PC affliction of expansion packs being extended to the consoles? I say, this is a disturbing precedent. Even if this isn't the first such case on a home system, it would be among the most high profile since the MGS VR Missions game.

I don't know why anyone is bitching about the whole "it's like a pc game expansion pack" when we don't even know what't on it yet.

So far all I've read is:

"...will be a Final Fantasy X Expansion episode and Saga Frontier. The FFX add-on will ship at the end of this year in Japan, so it presumably won't be the International version of the game that was released there a couple months ago"

Square hasn't even defined what will be in the "expansion" so why complain? There is a very good possibility that this will be a entire new game, set in the same universe, and with the same characters. Maybe the only reason Square is calling it an "add-on" is because you'll be able to use your saved characters from the orginal FFX.

That sounds like a great idea to me.

And while I'm on the subject, I don't have a problem with "pc style expansion packs" IF their done well.

A perfect example was Diablo II expansion. Two new characters, tons of new items, and a whole new chapter. I still play the game to this day, and the last (read: expansion chapter) is still one of my faves.

Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch.

So many haters.

You don't even know what the expansion set is, and still you whine.

Looks like "FFX expansion" is nothing more than internet rumor. Check out the Square interview over at http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2002/1501.html.

Here is a little excerpt:


Final Fantasy X: Another Story

Currently there are still no plans to release the disc in the US, and despite what the epilogue indicates, there's no announcement of a sequel to FFX.


And a bit on the FF remakes:


Final Fantasy 7-9 Remakes

Rumors gone berserk...you heard it here first. The remakes started out as a rumor, even going so far as to be published in Official PlayStation Magazine. Square denies that the remakes are being planned.


rpgfan has quite a bit more information, so head on over if you want to learn more. And I SUPPOSE the FFX expansion could still be in development, it looks like a no-go.

I'll be over there in the corner crying if anybody needs me... :(:(:(

Haha..

Damn it, I know right!

You'd think after like the 3rd "Exclusive announcement" telling us Square is making a FFX sequel I'd learn.

*sigh...* Yeah... You know, I don't think Auron would be in it anyway, unless I'm wrong.

Hee hee... Those things in Tron Bonne looked like AT-ST's...
