Square Enix Ltd., today announced the first-ever collaboration event for the hit mobile game "FINAL FANTASY® BRAVE EXVIUS" and award-winning role-playing game "OCTOPATH TRAVELER".
Last month, the beloved JRPG Octopath Traveler was banished forthwith from the Kingdom of the Switch eShop. Okay, if you'll excuse the dramatics, it was temporarily delisted with no official explanation as to why. Well the good news is that it's back, as confirmed by Square Enix itself.
Octopath Traveler delisted from the Nintendo eShop, leaving fans puzzled. Stay updated on this surprising turn of events.
Maybe due to it being published by square now has something to do with it. They delisted the Nintendo published version and will probably list the Square one going forward.
Go digital they say
Example after example shows why all digital isn't a good idea. Yet people still doing it.
Square Enix is pulling Xenogears out from its dusty drawer of underutilized IPs, but it's just a collaboration on Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Well, it's hard to utilize the IP since it's tied to the Xenosaga franchise and that's with Monolith, who in turn are owned by Nintendo.
I guess they could. But people will have extreme expectations that they won't be able to meet. Just look at how Chrono Cross and any games that came after the original Valkyrie Profile were initially treated
IP owned by Square. The majority of the development team moved with Monolith. I'm praying that they by some miracle they remake or remaster the game and release the other 5 games to complete the magnum opus that was the original vision.
It’s not tied to the Xenosaga franchise.
Xenosaga is 100% owned by Bandai Namco and Xenogears is 100% owned by Square. Nintendo and Monolith own Xenoblades.
Square can absolutely do a Remake, Remaster, or port of Xenogears without any issue.
Hell, I own Xenogears on PS3 and PS TV, which was after the Xenosaga series.
I’m hoping that they have some plans to remake Xenogears. It continues to baffle me why they are not listening to the loud pleas from fans. Especially when they consider new IPs to be a ‘risk’ these days. I would love new IPs too but don’t throw away your old, proven ones.
You say cruelty, I say ineptness.
This also makes me more pissed than disappointed.
