Square Enix has announced the opening of a new RPG studio called Tokyo RPG Factory, which it initially began hiring for in September 2014.
The studio is working on a completely new RPG console game called “Project Setsuna,” which is planned for a global release in 2016.
Further details were not shared.
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.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
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.
I thought it was a Chrono Cross Remake when i saw that village concept.
Oh well, more JRPG games are welcome.
I'd be more shocked if it comes to Xbox at this point. Very disappointing as a Xbox gamer to see lots of multiplatforms go exclusive to PS4.
Was this announcement really necessary? The more JRPGs the better but all they shown was concept art to some music, they would have been far better off waiting until PSX or Sony's next live streamed conference to showcase a proper trailer.
I was ultimately impressed with Square's offerings but the "coming in 2016" line was just far too much of a common theme for my liking. Seen it so much this E3 that I'm going to need to quit my job next year to fit in all the games scheduled to come out.
The artworks looked beautiful but I think it was really a bit too early to announce that game.
