Square Enix Announcement Not Shocking

The internet gets a sad but necessary reminder not to overhype things. The big Square Enix USA announcement game, as predicted, was not the new game so many had convinced themselves it would be.

[MechaGear]

Whoa, I like rpgland and all, but I really hope they're crap this time.
This and versus xiii not @ e3 would really give it to me.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Besides, that FF title sounds like a crappy wii spinoff, I'm good.

[zetsuei1]

as lame as Namco Bandai in this generation.

They could amaze us fairly easy: New Chrono Cross,Parasite Eve for HD consoles (360/PS3), Kingdom Hearts Sequel (360/PS3), Valkyrie Profile, The World Ends With You Sequel, Dragon Quest outside DS (360/PS3)

But no instead they decide to hype a useless tittle that almost everybody doesnt care. Seriously Square couldn't be more lame in this generation /facepalm

[hay]

True. They overhype every little piece they produce, they spew BS(30 years of FF7 remaking, western gamers like only macho protagonists and the list goes on) and their ridiculous take on pretty much everything(RPGs don't need storylines, rehashing titles, new and original games aren't great)...

The Square we loved and followed is no more.

soo treu man i really want squaresoft back they where the best devolpers ever without a doubt
SE can suck it too many times i have been dissapointed this gen
im stil waiting fore the day wada gets fired.
i just wonder sometimes how you can make the best devolpers in the world one of the worst im trully amazed how this guy pulled it of

[lomion5]

I would shed tears of joy should another chrono game ever be annonced. It may be strange, but amazing as Chrono Trigger was, and it was so very amazing, Chrono Cross may very well be my most favorite game of all time.

The only thing that Squeenix could do to shock me is release a good game

[vhero]

I am getting sick of them thinking games like that are gonna be huge in the minds of fans. I thought the announcement of a re-release of SaGa (Final Fantasy Legends for those who don't know) was bigger personally. I honestly can't wait for the re-release of that classic.

[Heisenberg]

Exactly. SE is sitting on a potential gold mine, and somehow they squander it every step of the way. Every game you mentioned, right down to a FFVII remake, things the dedicated fans SquareSoft earned want very badly, and would go ape shît over, they let collect dust on the shelf. Again, it's squandered potential by a company that has become completely out of touch with it's audience, and that really blows for us.

How does SE get so wrong, what SquareSoft had perfected? Honestly, the blueprints were already laid out, the fans were happy, great original games were being made, games that are now classics... the format worked. This is a classic example of 'fixin it, when it ain't broke'... See kids, they're clichés for a reason.

[kingdavid]

Sooooo many good games and sequels they could make and they released games like nier and last remnant :l

It just boggles the mind. THey must have 20 chimps in their boardroom.

[toyuts]

its prob cuz they don't want to spoil and tell every1 the fact that sqaure enix lost everybody they had

[ClownBelt]

Haha. SE needs to learn what announcement people will crap their pants and what not.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Shocking.

[maskedwarrior]

What a disappointment if this is what they have been teasing.

[Tony-A]

Square Enix's announcements are never shocking.

[Shang-Long]

no not really. FF13 going mult as a shocker.

[Tony-A]

Was that it? That's a two year old surprise. Other than that, every other "announcement" has been nothing but air.

[Shang-Long]

point making was it was still a shocker. or in your words a surprise no matter how old

[-GoldenTimeLover-]

This isnt news. lol

[Omega Zues]

Disappointment and failure. They continue to go down the hole.

And they wonder why they fail in the Western market. We continue to hear them complain on how their trying to reach out better to the Western market. They act like theres some secret to being successful here.

Its simple. Make.Good.Games.

Done.

[Troll-without-Bridge]

FF gaiden is not Project X from Square enix, it just was announced at the same time as 4 heroes of light.

This article is stupid.

[Stephen5543]

Thank you. This game was already announced a week ago. It is not Project X.

[barakiu]

N4G is broken

[Jeff-Ryan]

Yet again another stupid editor trying to gain attention. The "Shocking" game is "project X". It has not been official announced. Final Fantasy 4 warriors of light is another game and has nothing to do with the "shocking" project X SE had been teasing. You obviously have not been keep up the news. Take your lies and get the out of here.

[Cold 2000]

Its shocking...how not shocking it is.

[darthdevidem01]

What a STUPID article.

That announcement is PROJECT X.....this isn't PROJECT X guys!

Why are articles like these even approved, come on buckle up guys don't approve anything, N4G's credibility will go down.

[LordMarius]

so shocking I crapped my pants

[zslash]

This isn't the shocking announcement, folks. Another site that apparently failed to do research before writing up an article, sigh. Pretty shameful for an "RPG" focused site too, you'd think they would keep tabs on things.

[games4fun]

Rpg land is wrong. This is not PROJECT X announcement.

seems like rpgland needs to learn something about the internet. Do some research before you put your site's reputation on the line by technically slandering a whole company and spreading misinformation.

if SE does release another crappy announcement then this site is forgiven.

[NeutralGamer]

U'r wrong mate...

RPG Land clearly writes: "... blur your vision to the good titles that are right in front of you. …Which might be hard, with the other yet-mysterious Project X still looming on the horizon."

This is not Project X and RPG Land knows this... This was another announcement that Square Enix overhyped...

[Michael-Jackson]

Dumb site. Do some research before opening your mouth. I did, as soon as I heard about it.

[MadMan00]

I thought this was confirmed like 4 days ago? o.o
