This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Final Fantasy franchise and Square Enix is already starting the festivities with the reveal of a rather odd logo for the occasion.
Yet, this same logo seems to indicate which game Square Enix could be reworking for this year's celebrations. Could it be Final Fantasy VI ?
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.
A FF10 HD remake, a FF6 3DS remake.....are Square trying to ignore FF7 completly. I understand that they've said a FF7 remake is hard to do but come on, don't hold off on a fan requested thing for years then go a head and do remakes of other games instead....thats mean.
hmmmm...wonder if they would consider releasing it on the Vita as well. I think they should remake FFV and FFVI before they even start thinking about remaking FFVII.
If they are going to remake it, why not remake it for the Vita as well. I kn ow you can download it from the PSN store, but I would like to earn trophies.
JC48573 beat me to it.
Again? Squaresoft is now 10 feet under
wow, if this happens, and its not a PSV release as well, I might get a 3DS. I'm not kidding, though I wish I was.
