Recently Cubed³ had a chance to interview Square Enix’s Senior Vice President Hiromichi Tanaka, and took the chance to ask him some interesting questions regarding Final Fantasy XI for the Wii and a possible revival of the Chrono franchise.

Regarding Final Fantasy XI for the Wii, Tanaka stated that the reason for the game’s absence from the Wii lies in Nintendo’s stance on online activity. Which while not a surprise, is strange since Phantasy Star Online played on the Gamecube. Nintendo is adamant to let gamers interact online without a friend code.

However, not all hope is lost, Square Enix is in talks with Nintendo to solve this roadblock, which could very well open the doors to other MMO games seeking to join the Wii’s library.

Speaking about the Chrono franchise, Tanaka said that Square Enix hasn’t given up on the franchise, but that a sequel is not currently planned. He also commented on the future of old titles such as Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, saying that bringing them back for the Wii’s virtual console or a remake for a handheld would only be a question of arranging the copyright issues, again not clarifying if this is currently planned or not.
