"ever wonder why square enix keeps holding back on kingdom hearts 3 and why they wont release final fantasy type zero (agito) to north america. Ever wonder why Square enix would make a trailer for a game and then not release it such as final fantasy versus 13 which they renamed to final fantasy 15. "
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.
I belive Square enix hears their fans loud and incredibly clear, they just don't feel compelled to Obey them. They have even spoken on the demand for another Kingdom hearts If i recall correctly.
They're not holding back on them. They simply haven't made those games, or don't have the confidence that they can still make those games good (the current Square is a far cry from it's former self/staff).
Stupid video. They never announced those games.
They have a badly organised workflow in on-going projects such as Versus XIII, FFX/X-2 HD, Lightning Returns, next-gen project. Until these games have come off the production line, you're not going to see a KH3 and you'll probably never see a FF7 remake because it's not feasible and it would never live up to the hype. Square Enix are better off leaving a classic, a classic as far as a PS1 game is concerned.
Wow, a lot of misinformed guesses about SE's intentions, lol.
