Steven: I agree with you there, I even have My Life as a King on my Wii as well as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on the PSP to give me my fix on Final Fantasy until XIII comes out.
But this is the thing, like you said, it's their lazyness thats bringing them down thinking "Hey, we're Square Enix, we're the makers of Final Fantasy and automaticlly means you'll buy it so we can just fuk about and just be lazy with it"
I know it won't happen again now that he's long left to form Mistwalker but I really...really would love to see Sakaguchi back at the helm of a Final Fantasy title, either at Square Enix or through a collaberation with Mistwalker and Square but I think that is just a pipedream.
TBH, I think the recent downfall in Square recently isn't coming from Square itself but it's coming from one person within the company.
Yuichi Wada.
Once he's out the door, maybe SE could possibly return to it's once greatness. I dont know, maybe I am wrong here, who knows. I mean that Last Guy article in a Japanese gaming magazine with the producer on FFXIII and Nomura hinting at a mission in the game saving a big exec, in this case, Wada.
Signs are pointing to me that troube is a brewing at Square and it wont be long before a very big person in the company, someone like Nomura, leaves the company.
It's not a question of if, it's a question of when after that Final Fantasy XIII announcement for the 360 at E3.
Oh and whoever gives out the ramdom disagrees...is an idiot.
