I love Bioware, and I love Square-Enix. Be friends XD

I do too, is the thing; they're good at immensely different things, and there are many reasons why BioWare taking up S-E's duties is a bad idea, but a lack of skill on BioWare's part is not one of them.

DQIX's only released in one region though.  Lifetime, it'll probably outsell RE5.  FFXIII definitely will.

Okay my mistake... sorry.

Edit I suck at typing

My point was, to just eliminate the doom aspect that Square Enix was not one of the Japanese Developers that was not making money... Whether you like their games is another story. (If I remember capcom made has been making money on their Quarterly reports as well or whatever they're called)

I don't know exactly what wadas hitting. at. Other than they've failed to achieve what nintendo has globally. But, What other videogames has achieved globilazation besides nintendo,  I dunno I must know!? (My understanding of the word might be incorrect).

Like I mean, is he talking about having one happy building thats like the UN with people from everywhere, and language barriers trying to create a game! Or Trying to be like ninendo, and create games that appeal to everyone. (And by that I mean appeals to large numbers of everyone meaning sales). Square Enix really only has Final Fantasy... and Eidos, but that for the most part I'd imagine appeals to mostly west only.

ahh my brain hurts and I made no sense

This guy seems culturalist and doesn't seem to understand what Nintendo and to some degree, Sony, have done.  Oh well, I won't stop support supporting a company just because I feel that some folks in the company have a very silly view on a particular issue.

I agree whole-heartedly, just saying it hasn't happened yet.

Looking at the top 50 list for this gen, FFXIII's moved up a couple of spots. I should update it in the next few days.

...you can't be serious...

he doesn't like JRPG's, so this way of thinking makes sense really. If you count your own tastes as absolute.

Did I say my tastes are absolute? I just mean FF, for a Japanese styled game, has a successful following in the West. Why risk losing a fanbase by going in a completely new direction? I don't think this needs explaining.

see i don't get this.  we each have our own tastes right?  so say I like final fantasy, and he doesn't

then lets use our infinite knowledge and figure that I will buy final fantasy and he won't.  Now why are we changing this game to fit HIS tastes?  What about the millions who buy and like your games already? 

his way fo thinking makes no f*ing sense.  The way you say it makes it sound like since shooters sell a ton right now EVERY SINGLE GAME should be a shooter now.  NO other genres because they are stupid and pointelss cause they don't sell like shooters.  If he doesn't like JRPG's then he isn't going to spend his money or time playing a jrpg.  meanwhile those who do love jrpg's can spend their money and tiem playing that game. 

So please tell me why we are changing the game to fit his tastes and ignoring my tastes?
