As a longtime Nintendo fan, all I can say is this: "Been there, done that, burned the frickin T-shirt." The appropriate words to describe the kind of behavior Square-Enix (and Square before them) has shown throughout the history of the industry would probably be a violation of the TOS, but suffice to say that it emulates some far... older professions. Of course, the same could be said of almost every company in this business, but S-E seems to jump at it far more eagerly than most.

DQX is one of the few stuff Square Enix did the last few years that actually makes sense to me. But the Wii is like the King of rushed out ports, and Square is king of remaking stuff, seems to me like a match made in heaven. Why can't they make a quick buck from it doing a couple of those (And yes, I do mean "Final Fantasy VII - Let the Milking Continue") while their DQs and main FFs don't arrive is beyond me. I guess portable remakes are ok and console remakes not so much?

If they are required by law then how come they keep ignoring the wii? it has freaking 50% marketshare!!!

I mean, yes it's bussiness, but it's still people making the desicions, and these people have their own subjectivity, which DOES come into play in the directive board meetings

huh? DQX and two FFCC isn't that good enough

you can't really expect something like TLR, SO4, main FF and other HD games on the Wii. Count and you will get almost the same amount of SE games for all consoles.

How dare they try to make money...lol!

after wkc released stronger than any of SE of this gen i think SE will be switching up there strategy, basically all multiplats (i can see them doing away with timed exclusives too). i can understand that they want to push the 360 hardware in japan because that ultimately means cheaper way for them to push out games and have them sell more. but as of right now they need to put the games on both HD consoles...or the wii :P

Lack of manpower.

If we're talking console ports then that probably would be easy, but actual remakes even on the Wii would take quite a bit of manpower, money, and time to make. Even on the handhelds most of the ports and remakes are outsourced, and those teams can be pretty small too. I believe the core FFIV DS team was composed of 7 people. That's pretty impressive to me.

Reality Check: PS3 is losing money at rates unprecidented for any console. Several of the big PS3 exclusives have actually sank their developers. Square Enix is a business, sure they must love what they do and work hard to make great games but they wouldn't exist if their did not make money. Making FFXIII multiplatform was a business decision, one they had to make in order to stay financially viable.

You will still be able to play FFXIII on your PS3 when it comes out, so quit acting like Square Enix killed your dog and raped your mother! Business decision!

Or suggesting that they'll buy a game console without game releases for the first 6 months.

The things Yamauchi said were part of a pissing match after Square got in bed with Sony. It was specifically meant to get under their skin. What Sony is doing is dumping directly on their customers, that's far more arrogant and much worse than angry employers taking snipes at each other.

i agree this guy is a nerd but i am quiet upset myself and since i already know pissant M$ will not hold this game as an exclusive for over a year if even that long.. what the nerd said is true SE will lose face in japan and may or may not be trusted again by the Japanese people dont forget they dont forgive easly.. and what he said about ppl not buying FF it might even come out to be true (in japan) since us N/Americans dont really know much about honor and face etc.. but since SE is nolonger Squaresoft i could care less if they died tbh.. i do hope they bankrupt in the near future because making SO4 an Xbox exclusive is just wrong.. and i am not saying to make it a ps3 exclusive either just let the people play it on whatever console can must the $ to buy the tittle made for em.. i belive that's fair dont you? it has nothing to do with fanboy or not i am just a gamer who would like to play the game who made POS SE what they are today on Playstation.
