Zachary from Save/Continue says,
"When Kingdom Hearts was first revealed way back at the turn of the century, it was an incredibly curious creature. Disney‘s many animated features are beloved the world over, and the Final Fantasy series is one of the most successful gaming franchises to date. Do they really belong in the same game though? They certainly used to, but recently I’m not so sure."
Square Enix Kingdom Hearts series, including Kingdom Hearts 4, may be set for release on the Nintendo Switch 2.
absolutely
i feel like if they tweaked the collection a little, it could would been more than enough to run on the switch natively, but alas.
i wonder whos decision that was .... Disneys or Squares.
KH3 I understand but there's no way they couldn't have made the older titles run natively on the og switch instead of that cloud based bullcrap.
After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
In a town hall that took place on Monday, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu reportedly confirmed imminent layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.
What did NA and EU did anyways? Just translate or something? I would say it might help them get back to there roots but DK.
Personally I think that the KH storyline has become far too convoluted and complex, and failed to learn from the Disney films it features that rely on timeless characters and simple yet powerful plots to succeed.
Don't get me wrong, I love the games, but I hope that there's actually more emphasis put on the Disney worlds in KH3 rather than the reams of jargon and unintelligible twists that have been piling up.
Disnwy is too prominent as it is. We need more Square to balance things.
