Final Fantasy Union: "The Final Fantasy games, like most RPGs, have upheld the tradition of immersing that one person, the player, into the game entirely. Trying to sink two people into the sixty hour plots simultaneously might be spreading themselves too thin, surely. "
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."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
Would be interesting if we see multiplayer in future titles.
Would be nice if Versus has some coop, that or any other FF game.
Ring of Fates and Echoes of Time don't require peripherals and Echoes of Time is online too(and released months before KH 358/2 Days), also they were entirely internally developed. Just thought I'd point that out.
Wada does seem insistent on multiplayer... which can be both good or bad. I suppose if it's secondary content like 358/2 Days and BBS then it's cool... just hope it doesn't end up like Resi 5.
Umm...there's the biggest multiplayer game they've ever made coming out in a few months...
Aaagh multiplayer this multiplayer that. There haven't been enough stellar single player titles. It's like people are getting too lazy to make story driven games. Sick of multiplayer.
