After getting off to a disappointing start this gen Square Enix had pretty much fallen from grace in the eyes of many fans but this year Square Enix aficionados have a lot of reason to get excited again.
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.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
They must do a lot more than this...
Come on, Square. Give me my damn digital content. I want to buy your games but I do not have UMD support. PLEASE!
Right. Because games that haven't been released yet more than make up for, you know, failing to release a good game in more than a decade.
Release Versus XIII already!
Deus Ex is still a wild card, FF13-2 has alot to prove and considering the expectations relative to FFXIII it might not be what gamers want. I think there best bet is FFVersusXIII but i that won't be out till feb or march of 2012
