Straight Right, the developer behind Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, is working on a port of a AAA Square Enix game for the console.

Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.
Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.
I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…
Square Enix announced its financial results for the three-month period which started on April 1 and ended on June 30, 2024.
They need more exclusives. That's the smart thing to do for 3rd party developers. /S
Here are some concerns regarding FF 7 Rebirth:
1) Completion rate of Part 1: Can Square Enix expect those who haven't finished Part 1 to purchase Part 2 at $70?
2) Requirement of a PS5: If someone enjoyed Part 1 on PS4, is there a significant advantage in purchasing a PS5 for the game, especially when PS4 continues to release new games?
3) Exclusivity issues.
Final thoughts on FF7: Cherish and relish Part 3, as it's likely the last time Square Enix will undertake such a project. Anticipate that future remakes will be scaled down or merely remastered.
Sales are down because pixel remaster sold 2+million and FF16 sold 3 million+ during the same time period last year and i don't think any big(or any?) square enix game released from april to june 30th of this year.
I am not sure why some sources put this in a negative light. Square had no major releases this quarter so it makes sense the sales would be less. What's good is than they found a way to lower their expenses to increase their profits given that no one was laid off.
The Square Enix CEO has recently confirmed in a shareholders' meeting that it is still working hard on multiple small-sized games.
I thought they said they were focusing on bigger games… so, we’re staying the same now?
Well I don’t mind more HD-2D games.. preferably something like FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears.
So they are going ahead and just releasing ME3 when all other consoles and PC will have a collection of all three? Really?
Also want to say that the square title is FF13 but it just as well be Deus Ex.
“big game in a well known franchise that will be released in 2013.”
Lightning Saga?
Better not be FF 13.
I hope that the ported game released is Final Fantasy Versus 13 for the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.
I dont believe personally that FFV13 will be exclusive to any platform due to the new business strategy of Square. Everything that they have released recently has been of multiplatform stature. I dont think that FFV13 will be any different.
I believe 3rd party devs are porting their games to span as many console offerings as possible to maximize profit. Especially a financially unstable development studio like Square Enix. A game like Final Fantasy Versus 13 would do wonders on the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system, especially in Japan.
If not that then likely Tomb Raider.
Rated E For Everyone
Ports, ports and more ports. This is not convincing me to buy a WiiU.
i'm gonna guess Tomb Raider
