Square Enix, there's no doubt that you are the spiritual leader of JRPGs. It was with your RPGs that the we first fell in love with. It was your Final Fantasy VI that closes the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on a high note. It was your Final Fantasy VII that put JRPGs in the spotlight. It was your Dragon Quest IX that made everyone feel that JRPGs on handheld consoles are still awesome and immersive. It was your Chaos Rings that proved to everyone that the genre is also perfect with mobile smartphones. If there's only one that can do it, it will be you. So why not bring over Bravely Default: Flying Fairy and prove to everyone that you are still RPG's king and that you can define a genre that is almost dying in popularity?
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."
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 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
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
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.
@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.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
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.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
id rather get project x zone.. But if this gets localized, i wont complain
