E3 2011 is at hand. And for more than 20 years FHTI have been playing games created by Square Enix. Throughout the years FHTI have witnessed some of the most epic stories ever. And it seem that as time rolls on, the luster that has made Square Enix shine has steadily dulled. FHTI trust that most fans of any of the franchises from S.E, feel the same way. The past few years of what can only be described as a train wreck.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
"But the truth is that if things don’t change soon, it may be the death of Japanese RPG’s and Square Enix. "
hahahahahaha.
Square has at least 5 jrpgs in development ( rocket slime 3, kingdom hearts 3ds, dq X, ff type zero, 13-2, versus) at the very least, theres always more.
And every system but the ps3 has had more jrpgs than its predicessor, ds, psp, wii, 360. And theres about 25 jrpgs in development,around 25+ already right now. Death. Yeah right
Over reaction much and just a complaining bitch that dragon quest is on portables and the next main game is on the wii
was terrible. They took everything good about 12 and dashed it out the window.
Open world - gone
Lots of side missions - gone
Esper/summon as creatures you must find to obtain - gone
Towns - gone
*Gambit system - gone
Many people dissed the gambit system saying that it could be used to make the AI fight battles for you. That's a lie. There simply aren't enough slots and gambits to choose from for the AI to know what to do in every situation. Its waaaay better than the paradigm thing though. There were so many instances where Vanille and Hope would heal themselves and the other party member before me and cause me to die. They couldn't hold their own and the paradigm thing forced the player to have to switch classes just for one attack or ability.
Do we know if Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be at E3?
They already ruled out Kingdom Hearts 3D and Type 0 but I have heard nothing about Versus.
I wonder what will happen to Dragon Quest X? They usually pick the most popular console for the DQ game. VIII was on the PS2. IX was on the DS and X was meant to be on the Wii but the Wii is at the end of its life now so I wonder what has happened to it.
FFversusXIII should be an awesome game or else ill never gonna buy another SE game.
i disagree with people who hate ffxiii.
ffxiii was an okay game, i had fun playing it. but its not my favorite its actually my least fav ff game of all time.
anyways, ffxiii had flaws like any other game.
but it was still fun til the end of the game. (my only complain is the characters. lightning, sazh, serah were the only decent characters, rest them are meehhh)
i hope they make improvement in FFXIII-2 like puting TOWNS and MORE NPCs to interact with. BIG MISTAKES BY SE.
