They wouldn't want to sacrafice potential sales which is why they sacraficed the quality of the games. Which is precisely what they did in this generation too. Funny how thats suddenly not acceptable! |
FF this gen was worse than last gen though, and it's because it's multiplatform. Apparently. I don't entirely believe that's the case but that is what fans have been told. So it's rather understandable that they're annoyed that there franchise has gone to shit, thanks to Square publishing the game on the 360.
I doubt it was a good business decision either, considering the additional development costs, coupled by a sizable amount of the eastern market to reject the game, and the VG industry as a whole to view the game as lesser, than the rest of the series. If you believe what the media tells you, this is all because of the multiplatform deal SE made.
Fans would rather accept that, than the alternative. That SE just produce crappy games nowadays. Blaming Microsoft is much more comforting to fans, than blaming Square. Of course the already present, distaste for Microsoft products doesn't help, there's a reason no one was booing at Dragon Quest being on Wii/DS. Those publishing deals make a lot more sense than Final Fantasys, too.
