Craigheadpro reviews the video game known as Final Fantasy XIII otherwise known as FF13 or Final Fantasy 13. The video game Final Fantasy XIII came out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and is now on PC for a cheap price on Steam. Final Fantasy 13 is created and published by Square Enix.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Who knew?
Luv this game!...playing it again on the PS3.
I actually really liked it.
I don't mind linearity, thats normal for people who play JRPG's.
Also the first 30 hours is grindy, most Asian RPG games are grindy...
Shit our MMORPG's consists of just that, grinding. xD
"The game is worth buying if you can stand the 30 hour grind."
So if you can stand 30 hours of dull, repetitive, confusing, obnoxious gameplay...you'll eventually have fun? Why Can't the game be fun from the get go? If a game isn't fun/interesting until 30 hours in, then how is that a good reason to buy it?
It's like asking someone to enduring getting punched by a crowd of people for 30 minutes in order to win $5. The ending to this game is completely destroyed by its sequel too!
When I finally reached the open area (Pulse), I was having fun. The game was finally reaching its conclusion! Why didn't I stop? Because I can't buy a game and NOT finish it. Even with it's reduced price and improved visuals, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.
