Just wondering, does CT still make money for SE? I only know of one person that actually has the original CT for SNES, and I've never heard of gaming store's having a new CT or FF:C


I have two copies of the cart, so you know two people now :)

Obviously the SNES version is out of print, so there is no cash from there. But I still believe that they manufacture FFC, but it is rare to find it since no one purchases it anymore.

I doubt they're still making prints of FFC, seeing how they no longer make new prints of their PSX games (if i do recall correctly). All the money just goes to the distributers and various other (internet) third-parties now, not the producers...

But, in a way, I think it still does...CT (and RD & CC, mind you) kicks ass, and thusly gives a good name to Square(-Enix) and so people will try their other games because they have played an asskicking game of theirs.

Also, it was a merger. Enix didn't 'buy them out'. As I recall, Square was just getting out of their Spirits Within whole when they released FFX and such...Nothing 'happened' to Squaresoft...Although some of the talent went freelance...They've still got a lot more opprotunity now that they're merged with the Japanese powerhouse of Enix. If they ever decide to do an actual RPG Dragon Quest (Warrior)/Final Fantasy cross-over, the world will explode.

Dragon Warrior completely owns Japan more than FF owns America.  Yes, a FF/DW merge would bring forth the apocalypse.

Most RPGamers in Japan and in America vary greatly in what they like in their RPGs. Japan is more heavily into the DQ/W franchise, I believe, because of the intense leveling up involved, and well, needed. American RPGamers are more into Character Development & Storyline and less into random battling...Maybe it has something to do with American impatients? impatience? w/e...I don't have the time to learn spelling and grammer...

...grammar?
