When will you start making good original JRPGs again SquareEnix?


Hopefully with Wada gone the company will refocus on the Japanese market, and start developing some of their other core IPs. A new Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, Romancing Saga, would be good, they weren't even on the development list. At least they've taken a step in the right direction with a new Dragon Dragoon.

 SE makes an exclusive MMO for the Wii

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

 

DQ always goes to the top-selling console. Pretty simple

The problem was the long dev time meant it came out far, far too late.

OH 

regardless... I've said this before but I do believe in Naoki Yoshida. he seems to have literally dragged xiv out of the abyss and transformed it into a playable experience. put this into perspective; if he pulls this off he has saved one of the most expensive and troubled ff games to date.

Dragon Quest X should have been a single player game. It would have sold MILLIONS only in Japan not just 600k.

shouda couda wouda. even DQ IX was not a console game. single player console rpgs is what we all want but they have proven to be the achilles heel of the whole japanese industry this generation due to high production costs and huge risks concerning profits

Only more mobile ports will save them!

Should have stayed on DS then. Or moved to PSP. Or risked the 3DS.

Well on the Wii they wouldn't have had to worry about HD costs...

Tales of..., Ni No Kuni, etc. all say hi as well. Lets not blame production costs, we need to blame the fact that SE hasnt put out ANYTHING good on consoles the entire gen. While others have.

So, you're saying every single game they've published in the past 8 years?

just in terms of their JRPGS on consoles. Should have been more clear. The Eidos branch is actually doing good things.
