Square Enix Teasing News Next Week‚ lately there has been a lot of anticipation regarding news for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Rumors picked up that Versus is being named to Final Fantasy XV and that it will be revealed at E3 with a possible release date‚ along with a new trailer. For the full article read here. Another rumor is that Square Enix might reveal details about Kingdom Hearts 3 and possibility for a mini trailer is never out of question. Square Enix has been teasing something big all week and a recent tweet showed that they will unveil something next week.
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.
Sorry, but after their teasers about mobile games lately, I'm not excited in the least for any news SE has. I suppose that's a good thing though. If they did show Versus, at least it'll catch me by surprise lol!
It better be FFVSXIII.
FF14 new trailer and release date quote me on that.
The same week as the Next Gen Xbox unveiling... Hmm.
News next week? The new Xbox announcement next week?
hmm. I don't know why, but I feel like this news won't be pleasant for Sony fans.
