Square Enix did try original IPs. On top of my head is The World Ends With You. In case you haven't noticed that game didn't sell too well, while their sequels and remakes sold like hot cakes. So really can't blame them if they decide to stick to sequels.
Sad but true. TWEWY is one of my favorite games for the DS, I waited a few months to get it, for fear of the control 2 characters at once thing, but everytrhing in the game was well done.
@Silveth: Do I want to play as a little green man with a lantern and a butcher knife? Is that even a question?! Seriously, anyone who's fought Tonberry in FFX-2 should love/fear him. (Seeing as in that one, characters actually move across the battle field... every step, he takes one step toward his next target. When he reaches them... BAM! Dead. Then he turns... slowly....)
I would love to play as Yuna from FFX-2, the aforementioned Tifa-Seifer-Kain-Locke-Vincent, the new protag from XIII, Rain, Zack, and for god's sake, how did they have FFIX characters without having Vivi?
Now that I think about it, there are some quite memorable females in FF... whose fighting styles don't really lend themselves to an FF fighting game. Hrm.

The first six have which platform listed, but the last four don't. While 7-9 are obvious, which platform is being counted for Gundam Musou 2? Is it the PS3 version (which started off the strongest in its first week, but then dropped below the PS2 version the next week), or is it all versions combined?

Original IP?: Don't count on it!
Not to be a troll but that seems to be the way they work now-a-days. Where is our chrono trigger sequel?

Kinda weird to see someone lament the drought of original IP and then ask for a Chrono Trigger sequel.

Too bad there will be no sequel to that one.
02/02/09
Besides, what would they do for a sequel? Have it star the side characters?

Several major characters who were originally supposed to make the Dissidia roster were cut before the final roster was announced.
Locke, Kain, Seifer, Tifa, and Vincent deserve a shot.

Yea when I saw the roster I was definitely wishing that Kain had made the cut.

Also, Taiko no Tatsujin is kickass psychadelic awesome, but I cannot understand how it has such staying power.

There are THREE Kirby DS games out.
And you can play the two GBA Kirby games on a DS, too. What the hell is wrong with you?!

The PS3 version of Gundam Musou 2 sold the best, I believe.

Missed it by less than a day's worth of sales, too. Awesome work for WKC.
