Comment on Square Enix “Won’t Make Any More Big Games Ourselves” by Nick R:

-.- Simply Put: Square and Enix never should’ve gotten Married. I’m sure a rest-assured Divorce could be the company’s quickest recovery.

But here is the REAL truth. This goes for ALL companies in the Gaming Business.

I ask this question: “Why were the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 generations so much more Profitable than the new PlayStation/XBox360 Era?”

Simply put: With the Enhanced Graphics and High-Definition that PlayStation and XBox is REQUIRING from companies, it’s making it so much HARDER on developers to do any REAL creativity. There is so much concentration on CODING and GRAPHIC INTERFACE that there is hardly any space LEFT for the actual game itself.

Square says it themselves. The movie portion of the game was so much easier to deal with than the actual programming of FFXIII. This is the SAME reason they give for not wanting to Remake VII, VIII, IX, and X. The process is lots of hard, and very unappreciated work.

It’s funny since the games of PS2 and PS1 (Though being less graphics, were always much more enjoyable to me than today’s games.

As of now, I play this very competitive game called Fantasy Earth Zero HK. Sadly they tried the North American Market, but GamePotUSA had to destroy itself. (They made a lot of very bad marketing decisions costing players the game.)

Anyways. The game is 2006 Graphic Quality. But the game is much more exciting since I get to play with actual players on a large 50/50 Kingdom VS Kingdom battles… Recently they’ve been implementing a 75/75 wars, it’s almost impossible to survive those wars.

If Square Enix Really wanted to save itself – they just need to visit what made 7, 8, 9 and 10 so successful and do that. If they need to go back to Text-scrolling storyline and Cutscenes that last 1.5 minutes then do that.

  This is something SQUARE ENIX should have known since 2001. (Final Fantasy is NOT movie material.) That applies DOUBLE for its games. The reason why it worked in Final Fantasy X was because the cutscenes there were much more heavily integrated into the game making it seamless with the gameplay. Final Fantasy VIII and IX were much more successful at it than X though. They were still able to tell a story, but the important cut-scenes were shown in a minute to 3 minute span of time leaving the 13 …

  In short: “We have Finally Come to our FINAL FANTASY.” (P.S. To all our Kindgom Hearts fans who were expecting the next Big PS3/XBOX release of KH3… Not gunna happen. S.O.L.) Probably for the best, since you can see how we ended the Star Ocean Franchise. (SO4)

  Blast of Tempest (Zetsuen no Tempest you mean… quit using Americanized names… it’s so insulting.) This is the first time I’ve seen this series listed in one of these polls. I take it that since they’ve added a female pseudo-lead to the show that could make things kinky, they’re NOW willing to accept some “Coolness” to it?

  Let’s analyze: Square Enix’s Happier days: 1997-2004 Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy VIII Final Fantasy IX (All had something in common) Final Fantasy X First one still clobbers X-2 (On that note: X-2 might’ve been more interesting with a more well-thought-out story instead of a “Charlie’s Angel” reference. ((Then again, they really should’ve given fans the more kinkier elements of Feel-em up, dress-em down… Swimsuit style moments…)) – Fail.) XI – This is a precursor to FFXIV’s failure. Nuf …

  So, the kid touched her breasts… Now he’s permanently damaged for later life, doomed to spend his years fantasizing about female breasts. [And this is a new thing for Japan?] Maybe I’d feel just a little different if it were him photographed while fingering her wet-lower regions.
