Rumor: Kitase and Nomura will leave square enix after FFXIII.

And we have to be serious, I haven't played XIII yet (of course ...) but both FFX and FFXII weren't as good as the holy trinity (FFVI, VII, VIII).

 

... O_O why no mention of IX when everyone knows it was the best ?

First, because it wasn't. Second, because neither Nomura nor Kitase worked on it.

To add a bit on my previous sentence, I always felt that IX was extremely overrated, it's just a decent RPG, but a big letdown after 6,7 and 8. The story was very shallow for me, most characters were annoying (except Vivi), and the battle system just didn't feel right, I never got to like it

 

 

So much fail in this post. I thought IX was a little better than FF VIII (2nd best FF IMO) but it was MILES ahead of FF VII. FF VII is some boring piece of crap game. FF IX isn't overrated. FF VII is overrated. The battle system wasn't the best ever but the rest was awesome.

OT: We've discussed this before. Kitase was the only one speaking, btw. We never got to hear Nomura's opinion on this so don't even bother mentioning him. And besides, Versus is still exclusive. Kitase may be pissed but I highly doubt he'd leave SE. Not because one game went multiplatform. It doesn't work that way and Kitase is a pretty big figure at SE so he won't just...drop out unless they screw with him a lot more.

FF VII pisses all over FF IX. In every aspect save for envirioments and graphics, but that's devs utilising hardware better.
