Out from the bowls of Square Enix comes another final fantasy style Japanese role playing game (JRPG). The game offers many levels of complexity and many new features such as creating “unions” which is also known as a group of units, the game also offers a game changer in the turn based genre which is strategic planning, when and where should you send your units which allows you to “deadlock”, “interference” and “flank” which all offer different results and in turn change the morale of the union.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
i remember this game being total crap..... i didint even make it through the first chapter waisted 59.99
Its a good game. It had bad pop-in and some other stuff but installing it on the 360 makes it WAY better. My gripe is the commands are random so you cant always use certain stuff and battles are slow (pc version fixed the slow battles). It was everything ff13 wasnt, big, towns, sidequests, crazy hard hidden bosses. Its def not for everybody but its a good game. Any jrpg fan should at least try it.
if you get the .ini file tweak for pc it looks great. I think its one of the most underrated and best jrpgs this gen by far. Much better than ff13, up there with lost odyssey. It is hard too. Absolutely love it.
this was meant for hardcore jrpgs fans. I played the demo and it never got me interested
As a hardcore RPG fan i thought this was a great game which took me 20 hours to complete.
