Square Enix makes some of the best JRPG's in the gaming sphere. But the company itself seems to be at odds with itself in its direction for the future.
Don't Nod has confirmed Banishers and Jusant did not meet expectations, as the company has two unannounced projects in the works.
Hopefully Vampyr 2 is one of those games. I wish they would make a Remember Me 2, but I know that's a pipe dream
People really gotta start paying attention to these guys Vampyr and Banishers is so good.
Palworld Mobile has been rumored for a long time, and now we know that Krafton has struck a licensing deal for the monster-taming adventure.
Unashamedly derived from the work of Mimimi Games, Sumerian Six adds weirdness to World War II.
They’re a former shell of their innovative and risk-taking selves. After Sakaguchi left, the culture started a decline and then [current] stagnation. People like the Xenogears creators and Yasumi Matsuno brought flair and novelty. Now, they either rehash their old masterpieces or just put out bland crap. Talent is more important.
Too much focus on their own game engine, which apparently doesn't work, and projects like FF13. The first version of 14.
Their older stuff I would drool over back when these days I like a couple of their games. I hated what they did to ff7remake as far as the actionness of it. Dq11 was dope and has by far and large taken over as my favorite square rpg. Used to be ff for years. I really liked star ocean 6, but it's been an action rpg from the beginning.
Far as ff16 I'm personally not looking forward to it myself. Just doesn't grab me the way the older do and did. Way to westernized imo. Then add in the dmc people. Nah. In the end I'll play it to atleast try it but it'll be 25 30 dollar mark. Maybe I'll change my mind but idk on this one.
I have liked I am setsuna, lost sphear, dq11, star ocean 6, and I'm sure a couple others. I'm just more looking forward to dq12 then I am ff16 by a Longshot.
Selling exclusivity to the highest bidder
Next stop for Square? Pachinko machines.
