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.
Because if there's anything gamers want from Square Enix, it's more MMOs.
I see square enix slowly moving away from traditional console games and going more mmo and online flash games in next gen. They've been doing that for awhile already and I think they will contine that unfortunately.
Who gives a shit?
SquareEnix went from being one of the most important game studios at the end of the PS2 era, to one of(if not the most)insignificant gaming studios at the end of the PS3 era.
Just look at all the decisions they made this generation as to how a gaming studio shouldn't been run, unless you want to run it into the ground that is.
There goes Squarenix again, announcing new titles before even finishing existing ones.
If they are gonna announce something make it so that the gaming public will not have to wait years to actually see the game at all.
NO MORE MMOS or Mobile crap. Just finish Lighting Returns and FFXIV, SOO u can put more work in on VersusXIII. THEN KH3 then get started on FFXV and FFXVI for next gen! Just Finish All current projects.
