Forums - Gaming - Square Enix: MMO is not performing to the level we anticipated.

Here's an idea; STOP MAKING MMO's!

Buckle down and start getting stuff done, Square Enix. All you are doing is messing around.

I dont know they really did everything they could to not do what make them successful in the first place.

Final Fantasy license is just awful as the year past, it look more and more Futur fantasy.


Maybe a new kingdom heart 3 ? but I fear they will destroy it.

Yeah, I still cannot wrap my head around this: Exclusive Wii MMO !

 

DQX could've been great on the Wii, Square Enix just doesn't like money, it seems. They seem to like to screw up a lot of things recently.

i thought they said they are earning a lot of their profit from MMO like FF-XI

FFXI is profiting yet... the only successul MMO from Square... even after 8 years they release a new Expansion last month.



Sending out a MMO before it was even ready, and then spending 3 years rebuilding it, who would have thunk it.

I agree... the best plataform for MMO like DQX is PC and port to PS3 (the most FF and DQ users are in PlayStation)... in any case Nintendo could release to all plataform to make more money.

They choose the right plataforms for FFXIV... PC and PS3... but the game is a BOMBA



Sure this has been there motto for this entire generation. There only true success were on the NDS, its quite sad to be honest.

They Edios titles have been received+sold relatively well though, stuff their expectation of tomb raider selling 200m copies in 4 hour!

Even the Vita would have made more sense. Its portable (japanese seem to like that) and it actually has an online infrastructure.



I'm still gobsmacked that Squeenix can take Dragon Quest IX that sold at the highest level worldwide out of all the DQ games by selling 5.67million and then go on to create a sequel that barely shifts 600k.

I used to think taking up an entire gen with this Lightning trilogy crap was their biggest mistake financially, but thanks to DQX and FFIV when you put it in perspective the Lightning trilogy will only be a moderate failure =/

On that note given the decrease in sales from FFXIII to FFXIII2 I think Lightning's reture will be lucky to crack 2 million.



Does anything meet their expectations? Seriously?
Company needs to go back to making good games (outside of Tomb Raider and the TWEWY and *maybe* that last KH game). Quality like Chonro Trigger, FF6, FFTactics etc.



It's just that simple.
