Square Enix Celebrates Exactly 10 Years, Big News Coming?

PSXtreme: Yes, believe it or not, it was exactly ten years ago today that Squaresoft merged with Enix and became Square Enix.

...and the long-time Final Fantasy faithful still hope the entire debacle is just one long April Fool's prank. Maybe they'll soon just go, "Gotcha!" and announce a Final Fantasy VII remake for PS4, along with Final Fantasy XV that's actually a traditional FF installment.

Big news? Final Fantasy: Lightning Returns......Again

GrieverSoul4040d ago

Nope!
Squaresoft announces their greatest April Fool´s joke ever!

"It lasted 10 years but now we are back!" - Squaresoft

blitz06234040d ago

What is there to celebrate in the first place?

gaffyh4040d ago

@blitz - Wada getting kicked out of the CEO position. Now that is worth celebrating.

adorie4040d ago

LMFAO! With Wada out, I'm fairly certain Square Enix can get back on track and reacquaint themselves with their fanbase.

Ranma14040d ago

They should announce how they plan on redeeming themsleves.

They should also change their name to Squaresoft if they plan on redeeming themselves

I remember the good times before they merged. Squaresoft made great rpgs and Enix made great rpgs.

*sound of toilet flushing*

Two more Kingdom Hearts games. One for console(s), one for handheld(s). ;)

Godmars2904040d ago

"Maybe they'll soon just go, "Gotcha!" and announce a Final Fantasy VII remake for PS4,"

Or better yet move on from a past they've exploited rather than build on.

Better news than Wada leaving? Unlikely.

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

solideagle12d ago

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

Chocoburger12d 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.

carrotcakeag12d 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.

jznrpg16d ago

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