Today, Square Enix have released the iOS version of Dragon Sky in Japan.
Dragon Sky is an upcoming real-time strategy smartphone game from Square Enix.
SquareEnix probably need more money, but Bravely Default is still only on Nintendo 3DS.
I suppose I should be grateful for that, after all it's still the best FF that came out since, since a long time.
The problem is that I've already end the game.
Why is it that Square Enix feels the need to use a Final Fantasy style logo for ALL their games?
Dragon Sky is another new real-time strategy IP coming from Square Enix that’s hoping to lure people in with nice illustrations and simple-but-engaging gameplay for their smartphones.
I was actually interested their for a spilt second then it hit me.....IOS....iPhone....iPad
FFS Square :|
The fanbase for these types of games are playing their games on Vita/3DS/PS4 and such.....
How don't they get that?
ios gamers are playing candy crush and 80% probably don't even know who Square Enix is.
Is there some kind of competition within the industry for who can become out of touch with reality the fastest ?
I know...
Lets be honest the times when people take such an interest in IOS games is when they are either on the train/bus or when your taking a s***
Even then, as you have said, it's Candy Crush, Temple Run or Angry Birds. Hell even some people snap chat themselves on the toilet taking a crap.
Square enix new ip !!!!!! Yaaaaay oh wait a minute noo its just amobile game nothing to see here people
Square Enix just announced a teaser site for their new mobile game Dragon Sky. Judging from the site, the game is still a ways away from being ready, but boy does it look beautiful.
They apparently made a lot of money from one, enough to positively effect their stocks, so no. There will be more...
You're asking Square to drop one of the biggest markets in Japan?
I don't care if they release mobile games. As long as they keep console releasing coming. People don't seem to understand that they have multiple studios and development teams that are specialized in this area directly. It's not like they're pulling developers off of your favorite game and making them work on mobile games.
So then market it in Japan and not in the over here then...They FLOPPED so hard last gen I can't take them seriously like I used to in the past. Last gen I believe they produced only two final fantasy games...and they were part of the same story. I guess the best way to describe squeenix is inept.
My gosh what has happened to this once great company man....It's almost as if they intentionally want to piss off their loyal fans...mobile games...really squeenix....really??? I want square enix back...the folks from the PS2 days with games like Radiata Stories (OMG I LOVED THAT GAME) and Star Ocean...these Squeenix folks man...who the hell is in charge over there???
You do know that they were making mobile games back in the PS2 days, right?
Look up Before Crisis: Final Fantasy 7.
It was a prequel to Final Fantasy 7 that was exclusive to mobile platforms. Only reason why nobody has heard of it was because it was only in Japan.
They've been doing this for longer than you think.
The once great company you mentioned back in the psone era & semi ps2 era was SquareSoft. Not Square Enix.
Mobile game after mobile game, and yet no announcement of Final Fantasy Type-0 for release in the West...
It's not going to happen. It could if they would just remove the frickin' song that prevents it from happening, but they're not going to.
This is SE man. They made 3 Lightning games. 3. They don't care.
Square-Enix's future is on mobile. They lost much of their faithful fans on consoles as a result of their long series of poor business decisions, so instead of trying to win us back, they moved on to another market.
Likewise, I moved on to NIS, Namco and Atlus for my RPG needs. I couldn't look back.
The most likely way that'll happen is if Sony, themselves, put some pressure on Square-Enix.
Which, honestly, I don't see why they don't do. Type-0 would definitely move Vitas, so I don't see why Sony wouldn't want that.
Move on man, nothing can be done about it. They found a new market willing to put up with their business. They lost much of their original fanbase and they know it.
I moved on to other RPG developers and couldn't look back. I am very happy without FF.
