Tomorrow’s the big day. Square Enix will finally show the long awaited footage of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII and several other (announced?) titles.
Over the course of the last months, Square Enix released a lot of new info about this event and as a heads up, we’re summarizing all of that information in readable bytes to find out when, where and how it'll take shape.
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.
Come on SE, you've been horrible on the HD consoles, now lets see what you really got because I believe this is your last chance.
Wait..ACTUAL gameplay footage not a trailer? Also, does anyone else thing they will announce it multiplat tomorrow? I hope they don't screw PS3 owners again sigh
is this taking place in japan the 18th or the 19th?
if its the 18, shouldnt that mean people in the US will get the info Later tonight due to the time differnces?
im so confused
You've got to wonder why this game has been in development for such a long time, kind of does lean towards them announcing Versus XIII for Xbox 360 as well which i don't want personally, hurry up and release this then get started on KH3 Square !!!!! And make sure KH3 is an exclusive as well :D
This is what I've been waiting for. I want a JRPG blow out. Please announce some new games for the PS3 or PSP! Anything new! Just need more JRPG's this gen!
