God, if they're that concerned about money they should realize that partnering with Sony exclusively with main FF titles would help them out immensely. Sony would cover all the costs of production for an exclusive FF game and they would probably get better sales as opposed to if they stay multiplatform. You'd also think they would realize that customer retention is more important than customer acquisition. By focusing on high quality, the new customers will come aboard slowly but surely and you'll still have your hardcore base as well. Surely they factor in long term growth.

Maybe if we throw this argument at them hard enough, they will get it through their heads.

I'd give it to EA or Ubisoft over Square-Enix

Yeah, that was satire and most Western publishers are worse.

I would say underwhelming or disappointing at this stage. I nearly went nuts they actually would surprise me and do the 7 remake...and it was a port that a tiny fraction of people wanted. Honestly I have not been excited by them the entire last generation and this generation seems more of the same.

Nah... EA is much, much worse than Square Enix! Heck, I would argue that Capcom is worse than SE!

You know what was better though? Squaresoft and Enix.

No, not even close. But they're pretty fucking irritating considering they're wasting their potential.

Long gone are those times sadly...... :/

Well now that I've stopped my warpath to get vital information to SE, I can safely say that I've never been more happy to be the victim of a joke. I need to calm down because I'm doing about 5 things at once. One is lube.

On second thought...this could still be true in a way.

BACK TO THE BATMOBILE!

Yeah this was Enix master plan. Buy Squaresoft and turn them into trash, the Enix side of things is still doing quite well.
