Square Enix Recruiting Chinese Speakers…

Alright its official

FF13&FF14 never existed, the Final Fantasy series ended at FF12

At which point Square Enix was invaded by Chinese Zombies (which will also be the plot of Dead Rising 3)

Square's doing this without even being bought out by Chinese companies. Imagine what would happen if those pachinko guys bought Square out!

FFXIII still exists. That shit was gorgeous, I don't give a tumbling fuck if it was Japanese, Chinese, Mexican or whatever who made it. There was no truly good reason to demote it to complete 'shit' as most ignorant children have, just because it wasn't another FF7 or something. Story was entertaining, the characters were as well, the writing was good, the graphics were beyond incredible in the ways that it counts, and I considerably enjoyed it for what it was as a game, because I wasn't foolishly expecting them to make exactly the same game as they used to.

FFXIV on the other hand, I'm having trouble calling that anything innovative whatsoever... granted I haven't played it, but even without Sankaku's propaganda, it really didn't give off a very good feeling.

you don't understand, they want administrator that can talk with developer in china. Not publish the game in china.
So a game to be released worldwide with japanese brand but made in china (quality...)

They want English speakers and Chinese speakers....seems like they're trying to focus their efforts towards the states and China.

They need chinese speakers so they can expand the game to Taiwan or hong kong perhaps? Which pretty much has nothing to do with China?

FF12 was trash.

Outsourcing keeps prices for consumers to an all-time low.

@ Anon 06:09:

With all the jokes about outsourcing to China and "China Quality", it makes me wonder whether the fatigue system was just a way to reduce server utilization, and eliminate or defer investments in hardware.

"the Final Fantasy series ended at FF12"
haven't it ended in the ff6?

It suppose to end at 9 isnt' it. 10 was freaking boring like hell. everything so damn straight.

really? personally I really liked 10 imho. but whatever, each to his own i guess

>> Anon 9:07 Well if you're viewing it as the last FF that the original creator had a hand in, then yes FF9 was the last.

Not sure why 14:58 was downvoted. FFX too was an exceptional game and I'm sick and tired of ignorant, childish idiots demoting it to crap because they just don't understand the 'laughing scene.' Yes, you were embarrassed, and you were meant to be embarrassed. All the characters were meant to be embarrassed. It was the whole fucking point. It wasn't bad acting, it wasn't purposeless, it just required too much thought for most of the mindless idiots out there who played it to understand what it was doing for the characters.

Someone clearly doesn't like that the Spoonyone dissed on his game for a pretty valid reason. Why was that scene nessesary? Really? Did we need to be embarrased? Do you play games to be embarrased? What did them embarrasing all the other characters do for their relationship? Did it help them grow in any way? Did the other characters learn anything? The answers are, It wasn't, no, no, no, nothing, no, and no.

FFX was a pretty good game don't get me wrong, but every time that part comes on I think of scrubbing a shitty toilet and close my eyes till its over.

And because this has nothing to do with the main post, Poor Squaresoft, ate Enix and is now dying of lung cancer. With alzheimers.

LOL what the hell.
That laughing scene is not the sole reason people bash on 10.

Well, blame SquareEnix.

Your jokes are also chinese quality.

Lol, you need to learn to shut the fuck up about China. No matter how much you deny it, a good amount of the "shit" you use inevitably came from China.

chink quality

And most of it is cheap knockoffs!

Even so its low quality.

Yet you all still have low-quality stuff!

It's low quality because the greedy corporates want to buy low and sell high.

@ Anon 05:57:

You write "cheap knockoffs" so disparagingly -- yet you, and millions of people like you, continue to buy that cheap stuff.

Why would they spend the money to raise quality when they have so many repeat customers at the _current_ price/quality level?

I make it a point to avoid China-made products as much as possible, unless there is absolutely no way to avoid it.

For example, when I buy computer parts I ask where the factory is and I go for brands that have their factory based in anywhere but China.

But when it comes to consoles there are unfortunately no alternatives because all consoles are now made in China, so I have to just go with it.

I speak/read/write Mandarin natively and functional Japanese. I'm currently a software engineer (experience in the full SDLC), and have a degree in computer science. I've worked with beta testers, and am familiar with designing immersive user (perceived) experience.

My honours project combined machine vision/intelligence and computer graphics (OpenGL and DirectX) to create real-time, interactive augmented reality.

I'm also an ex-student of traditional (sketching, painting) as well as digital (Maya/Photoshop) art.

I used to play/compose music on the Yamaha electronic organ, and still play the acoustic guitar as a hobby. I have some experience in FLStudio (composed several techno music for my games).

Before college, I created several games that made it to the students finals in APICTA (Asia Pacific ICT Awards).

Do you think I stand a chance?

Too Weak

butt-hurt china ?

hahahaha owned, China just suck big time!

Sup samefags

I believe, from what I heard before when researching being an english teacher there for a year, that you're only supposed to book-read the english and not actually make an effort to explain to them the accents or even really break them from Katakana speaking habits. I could be (and hope what I heard was) wrong, but it does seem that way. Granted, it could simply be they don't care much about learning it as they don't quite have a concept of what opportunities will open up in their future because of it. I know none of my friends or myself considered language as anything more than another class, but then again we were suburban white kids... the sad reality is unconsciously we already understood the world to be our oyster, as proven by the fact that I even know that saying...

Now that I'm mature enough to understand the mental benefits of multi-linqual understanding, I lack the money and/or time to really attempt it.

Don´t forget that Hong Kong was british crown colony, so it´s normal they speak better englisch as the average chinese.

The average Japanese can't speak English any better than any better than a 2-year-old from an English-speaking country. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't people that have native pronunciation of both English and Japanese (very possible if you sustain an environment where a child hears native speakers of both languages throughout their childhood).

I have it for 5yrs and the only word i know is достопримечательность.

5 years? You aren't even trying.

Меня жаль.

Umm… was that "I'm sorry" or "I feel sorry for myself"? (^ ^)'

Well, it is my native language so I can't really judge how hard it is.

>>Well, it is my native language so I can't really judge how hard it is.<<

Simple. If lots of people from //insert country// don't speak //insert language// very well the language is difficult. Or there are lots of stupid folks. Or possibly both.

Personally I hate languages and never bothered to learn any... but I speak a few and am not a native english speaker. It just happened. Learning is boring, but if you see what you can do with the language (i.e. you really want to watch anime for free) you can manage to understand english in about six months.
