Well we have a huge Square Enix double whammy for you with 2 new trailers. First up is the reveal of a sequel to FFXIII, aptly titled…. FFXIII-2. Creative, huh? An interesting choice to make a sequel to a game that fans were so torn on with regard to whether it was actually good or not. But hey, here it comes.
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.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a MUST BUY. MUST!
I could care less about FF13, FF13V has the potential to be one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The trailer is one of the best things I`ve ever seen in gaming in my entire life. The whole "vibe" the game gives off it unbelievable, a nice dark gritty JRPG w/ real time combat. This is kinda the game i`ve been wait for all my life (and Bushido blade using the PS Move w/ online).
FF13V is now my most anticipated title.
day 1 both!
when you'r a fan of FF,you just can't miss any single ff game,trust me :D
Final Fantasy 13-2 is a must buy for me. Ever since I finished 13 I've been begging for a sequel. I'm not that excited for Versus 13 right now. I'm willing to give anything with the Final Fantasy name a fair shot but so far I haven't seen or heard anything to get excited about.
CGI is once again unmatched can't wait to see the HD versions on thursday.
