You'd think this would be the easiest genre of all to make multi-platform, yet I can't really think of ANY RPG that's ever been on more than one console (besides remakes).
There's NO timing issues, and it IS a pretty damn big and important genre, so why no multi-releases? Hell, you'd think open-ended platforms, GTA type games, and Fighters would be the hardest to multi-platform, and they're ALWAYS on all three systems out at the time. Just weird that developers like Square and Enix (now one) have always limited themselves to one console (and that console always sells the best, but that's another thread)
