CBS MarketWatch reports that Microsoft is in negotiations with Enix and Squaresoft. Enix is not interested in continuing the Dragon Quest series on the Xbox. Reason: According to Enix, the Xbox target audience is not enthusiastic about RPGs in the style of Dragon Quest. However, they do not rule out developing other titles for Microsoft's Xbox in the future.
Squaresoft spokesperson Hideki Tsuchiya said that the Xbox is an ideal platform for online games, especially due to its broadband capability. However, it is not yet certain whether they will actually develop for the Xbox.
If Microsoft really manages to secure Square as a third-party developer, one of the first titles could be the online RPG Final Fantasy XI, which will be released for PS2 and PC in spring 2002 in Japan.
