Square-Enix: Why They Have Faltered

"The creators of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest (and many other titles) have been having a rough time as of late. Many fans and critics have been clamoring for Square-Enix (SE) to return to their former glory. "

In the SNES,PS1 & PS2 days Square used to release alot of games & majority of them were enjoyable experiences,I know technology has evolve & now games are in hd so I guess development takes time & that's to be accepted.This article states some good points about Square's wrong doings,because the person or persons running Square are not making good business decisions at all this generation as far as their main development team developing & putting out games.

They've sucked since they became Square Enix instead of Squaresoft, they make bad games, that's why they've faltered. pretty simple.

SE need to get there act together next gen. Dont try and make another MMORPG next gen, localize type-0 and bravely default, finish up VersusXIII start on KH3. I wouldnt even have a problem waiting for VersusXIII is they would show a trailer or something.

As for the XIII series im fine with it really.Its a good game on its own just not FF standard quality. SE already said FFXIII:LR would be the last entry and, its coming in fall so no worries about it continuing.

I am pretty sure Versus is 100% done if they are working on anything its DLC that wont fit in the 360's disc... yeah I said it its going multiplat compare the 09 trailer to the 2011 trailer.

They can always have 360 users download a huge chunk of the game since everyone on 360 is online anyway they pay for Live.

They are just using up the material they cut from the very first XIII before they cut the towns out so they can get money for all does man hours 5 years worth. XIII LR will be the last Lightning Game yes but... how long will we have to wait for Versus and will LR's ending hint to Versus... Etro has allot to do with both games after all.

@CatXFlash
I really hope it ends like that. A new world created that starts FFvs13. Then I could see why most of the people were pulled off of vs13. To get this done for the new beginning of a newer world. Final Fantasy VS 13

Listening to Western feedback and Yoichi Wada.

[NeXXXuS]

Don't forget PS1. ):

the writing is truly dreadful at square Enix now especially with the person who wrote the ff xiii series and the 3rd birthday. it's all just too melodramatic and confusing compared to the characters and stories they used to create. all of this excludes the world ends with you which was phenomenal.
