In the wake of mixed emotions following the announcement of Chrono Trigger, and based on a breakup letter from an ex girlfriend, VG Colosseum presents an open letter to Square.
Squaresoft,
Remember when I used to call you that? Before all this Sqare Enix stuff happened? Way before Squeenix? Those were wonderful days. I loved you and I thought you loved me back. I played Final Fantasy 2 and you gave me Final Fantasy 3. I played Secret of Mana and you gave me Chrono Trigger. It was an amazing relationship...
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
From Horse Armor to Mass Layoffs: The Price of Greed in Gaming. Inside the decades-long war on game workers and the players who defend them.
maybe a real enemy is people who use terms like "the real enemy"
there can be more than 1 bad thing, t's not like a kids show with 1 big bad
Executives seem to often have an obsession with perpetual revenue growth. There is always a finite amount of consumers for a product regardless of growth. Additionally, over investment is another serious issue in gaming.
honestly, the "real" enemy of gaming, is ourselves
if nobody bought horse armor, shitty dlc would have died almost overnight
if we stood firm and nobody bought games from companies that were bad with layoffs, it would be solved
we're the idiots supporting awful business practices, we are the ones enouraging it
Greed and greedy people have and always will be the main issue for everything wrong in the world. Everything is a product to be exploited for monetary gain. Even when there are things that could help progress us along for the sake of making our lives easier that thing must be exploited for monetary gains. Anything that tells you otherwise is propaganda to make you complicit.
I've never thought "DEI" (although the way most people use it doesn't match it's real definition) is the problem with games. Good games have continued to be good when they have a diverse cast, and likewise, bad games have continued to be bad. There isn't a credible example I've seen where a diverse cast has been the direct cause of a game being bad.
Yeah Chrono Trigger on the DS is just stupid. I'd even settle if it was on the Wii.
i av an open letter to square too..please stop making final fantasy lead characters look like chicks n f**k u square..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa..
What an appropriate name.
I totally agree with this letter, Squaresoft were once so great infact looking back now they were legendary. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was their downfall, you are still sorely missed.
Squaresoft please come back to us !!!!
Not going to agree or disagree with any of this.
Instead, just wanted to point out that I got a bad feeling that this whole issue could be blown way out of proportion (not knowing if it has or not or if so on what end, but still, this could be a subject that could be read as more than what it really is).
