Yoichi Wada, Square Enix's president, is stepping down. The news came as a surprise. Wada has been Square Enix's only president since Square and Enix joined forces. Some are happy about this. Others are not.
Online in Japan, an individual claiming to have worked, until recently, at Square Enix as a programmer wrote a post about Wada's departure. The post isn't an attack on Wada, but rather, it seems to be a defense written in the wake of another Japanese site trashing Wada.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Today Square Enix announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
im enjoying FF16. while there is a lot of talking, usually you can skip it. Looking forward to FF7R2!
The story of Chloe and Max could have continued after the ending.
I wish the developers would have gone with their original plans, it sounded really good, but apparently they didn't have enough dev time make the game like that. I'm actually upset with what we did get in the end, mainly that final episode, it was enough to turn me off other games in the series.
You can find some of the cut stuff here:

But I can't find the article from when the game first game out that analysed what could have been.
Defending Wada, yeah... good luck with that one guys xD
"If anything, Wada's mistake, his weakness was that because he loved and cherished his developers so much that he put too much trust in them," the post continued.
That's why, the post continued, there were huge projects that needed to be ended or important people that needed to be let go, but weren't.
This explains why we were getting ff13 and why the nightmare game didn't end.
Plus i see this as a good thing the man didn't know what the fans were asking for and he kept pumping out lame final fantasy titles.
Were he should have kicked out toriyama and let more talented people do their thing.
And dont get me started on FF14, i am still surprised it took them this long to fire him
I will be hanged for posting this, but ever since I saw this post about Wada being terminated...I've seen a lot of, "YAY WE CAN GET A FFVII REMASTER NOW!!!" I do not want this. With this Square that we have now they will only muck it up. Wada was right on one count...and that is they need to create a Final Fantasy that surpasses all expectations and is true the ways of the old ones. Only in that instance can a remaster of FFVII be remotely possible. I'd rather replay it on my ps3 in all it's blocky glory than have it tarnished and destroyed for this new generation who never got the chance to play this wonderful game.
I don't get it....we've wanted Wada gone for years and now that he has...well I just thought people would be making a bigger deal over it, I think I saw one article on it on here.
Thought it would be a hot topic or something
He may be nice but JRPGS been missing and about all were failures
