"Nomura was asked what type of worlds there would be in Kingdom hearts 3. Disney has a large list of worlds the company can add to the game for Sora, Donald and Goofy. Square has experimented with them a lot. From the little mermaid in atlantis to cyber world of Tron. Now keep in mind that KH3 is going to be the grand finally and Square will try to delivered everything that the fans are begging for. No matter what. Seriously. In fact square enix listen to the fans so well that they will keep Halloween town of Nightmare Before Christmas in part 3."
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
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.
I dont want any more worlds based of live action stuff.
The more worlds the merrier imo. Take out the mermaid world aswell. Didn't really enjoy swimming that much, although the exploration part was pretty cool. No singing or rhythmic stages though, that mermaid bit was kinda embarrassing when I was playing it.
Toy Story!
Glad Halloween town is staying
What if they added Starwars! :O
I don't know about the Marvel part. I don't think Marvel super heroes would fit in in the game.
