why they are so obesses with lighting which is a completly fail !!!

cleft54176d ago

It's because of what she represents. She could be the future of the company and she should have been. But they split their attention on ff13 and released on multiple platforms which lead to them making a lot of sacrifices for ff13. FF13 was set to be amazing and then they screwed up and went multiple platforms and now they are doing everything they can to prove they made the right decision.

Instead they should just admit that they did fail and move on. I enjoy ff13, but I fully understand why it is disliked by so many people.

Jinkies4176d ago

The thing is the game could of been as big as it was on one platform but her as a horrible character would of still remained.

Jinkies4176d ago

I know she's a terrible character, the only reason she stood out in FF13 was because she was surrounded by characters worse then her.

She was blad, boring, a moan, a complete b**** and just so depressive.

Most other characters in FF had great personalities and backstories by Lightning just seemed like she was trying to be a hybrid between Cloud and Squall but totaly failed.

i swear to god ill never understand SE's obsession with lightning & FF13.

WHY!!!!! Tetsuya nomura please stop!! If you would stand up for us and say "hey maybe I should work on some versus stuff or hey shot in the dark ff7 since that's what the fans really want!!

Trago13374176d ago

ok, the man is a excellent artist, but WTF is his team doing with versus, after all, that team is the core Kingdom Hearts team, and that's why KH3 hasn't even begun production. Can we at least get so much as a status update or something? i want that game, NOT more lightening saga Bullcrap :(

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

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."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

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.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

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

solideagle13d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger13d ago

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.

carrotcakeag13d ago

@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.

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.

jznrpg17d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
