One of Square-Enix's strengths has always been to make games that offer more than one type of entertainment. This mainly comes from their repertoire of mini-games. Honestly, if Square-Enix made a compilation of their best mini-games, updated the graphics, expanded the content and gave it online capabilities, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Blitzball is number one, my power combo of brother, ropp and tidus to finsh with Jecht Shot 2.
I also enjoyed snowboarding in ff7
3rd place is easily chocobo hot and cold. Very frustrating but the rewards were very good.
I bloody loved Triple Triad. Once I figured out how to play it properly, I probably spent just as much time playing Triple Triad than I did playing the rest of FFVIII.
Triple Triad was pure greatness. I could play this online every day if I could.
I have actually played just about all of those. But Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing are probably my favorite. They take so much time, but they are pretty fun to get good at. They should put both of those into FF14 ARR if they aren't in there already.
