Trendy Gamers: Last time in our new five part feature, we talked about how Square Enix can get fans back through the Final Fantasy series. This time we are going to talk about the Ivalice Alliance. Now before you correct me and tell me how the Ivalice Alliance is Final Fantasy, let me just tell you that isn’t quite the case. Here is how Square Enix can get it in gear and win back its fans!
"I am truly happy just to be able to send my child out into the world once again" - Hironobu Sakaguchi
Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.
Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.
I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…
Square Enix announced its financial results for the three-month period which started on April 1 and ended on June 30, 2024.
They need more exclusives. That's the smart thing to do for 3rd party developers. /S
Here are some concerns regarding FF 7 Rebirth:
1) Completion rate of Part 1: Can Square Enix expect those who haven't finished Part 1 to purchase Part 2 at $70?
2) Requirement of a PS5: If someone enjoyed Part 1 on PS4, is there a significant advantage in purchasing a PS5 for the game, especially when PS4 continues to release new games?
3) Exclusivity issues.
Final thoughts on FF7: Cherish and relish Part 3, as it's likely the last time Square Enix will undertake such a project. Anticipate that future remakes will be scaled down or merely remastered.
Sales are down because pixel remaster sold 2+million and FF16 sold 3 million+ during the same time period last year and i don't think any big(or any?) square enix game released from april to june 30th of this year.
I am not sure why some sources put this in a negative light. Square had no major releases this quarter so it makes sense the sales would be less. What's good is than they found a way to lower their expenses to increase their profits given that no one was laid off.
The Square Enix CEO has recently confirmed in a shareholders' meeting that it is still working hard on multiple small-sized games.
I thought they said they were focusing on bigger games… so, we’re staying the same now?
Well I don’t mind more HD-2D games.. preferably something like FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears.
By releasing FFvsXIII in early 2012 and start working with KH3(and show at least a teaser)
I was thinking one of these newly announced games could be set in Ivalice. I really want to see them do something with this world. Corruption in the Church is always a good storyline.
Square Enix never lost me. So excited for FF Type-0 and FF XIII-2. Not to mention releasing Tactics Ogre, Dissidia Duodecim, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, and a bunch of other games over the last year. Square is one of the only companies I wasn't disappointed with last year.
First off, cancel Theatrhythm, it looks garbage. Then cancel all of the RPGs you are intending "for a western audience", because that never works.
Finally, fire everyone that thought up Mindjack, and vow to never again half ass a game that badly.
By making a freaking JRPG and stop trying to westernize their gameplay!
