Weren't they talking about trying out making some Western style games or was I just imagining that?

Considering Square did a fair variety of games before Final Fantasy, it shouldn't surprise anyone. Didn't they do Rad Racer?

If I remember right the title Final Fantasy was due to it being potentially Square's last game before going out of business, then it turned out to be a fantastic success, so they specialized.

Crossing my fingers for a FPS Final Fantasy game.

You can basically recreate FF characters somewhat including their weapons in Oblivion's editor.

Wouldn't them using the Unreal Engine make the game moddable?

Nah, there are a ton of games created with the unreal middleware that are not moddable.

That wouldn't surprise me actually. And that would be so crappy, it's unreal. Seriously.
