Trendy Gamers: In the last few years many people have grown quite skeptical of the beloved video game developer Square-Enix. A company that used to be able to do no wrong in fans’ eyes now has a stigma attached to its name. The mixed views of Final Fantasy XIII and the almost universal distaste of Final Fantasy XIV have left many wondering if this might even be the beginning of the end for the company with such a rich history. We do not think that Square Enix has lost its way entirely and we believe that it has the power to put itself back on track. Here are my ideas to help them with the Final Fantasy series.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Do not miss the Final Fantasy IX lottery commemorating its 25th anniversary and see the new merch release by Square Enix.
I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
Agree with all 5 points but im skeptical about remaking FFVII on one hand i want them to remake it but on the other hand i can't but feel they will somehow mess it up.
They can win their fans back by doing what they did last gen and that is release good game after good game...they got money hungry and starting re releasing and remaking old titles they seem to have lost the ability to come up with new fresh ideas and try to mislead us with crap...no no no and you would think that they would learn their lesson by now. Who ever is in charge in my opinion is completely incompetent and needs to resign....Ever wonder why staff are leaving Square man??? Come on pay attention.
Aside from all the FFs being rather terrible for a Final Fantasy game after FFX whatsoever happened to Kingdom hearts 3 ? Dont tell me that Kingdom Hearts 3DS is the great sequel weve been waiting for ... Hurry up and make those sequels and get cracking on NEW ideas with NEW characters that we'll come to Love and Cherish !
Just give me versus 13. It's the one game I can't seem to get off my mind from square. It looks so fun.
In the amount of time Square has been complaining about how hard it would be to remake FFVII, they could have already remade FFVII.
