Your looking at it the wrong way, baby. Sega is so good, that they can afford to downsize. Square is still trying to be as good, therefor the need to aquire new Devs. Sega has made the best game this gen and Square is still trying. ~_n

Which one was that?

You know which but you just wanna hear him say it don't you =P

I have no idea what your talking about?

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

SE =/ EA of the old. With that said, they won´t ruin Eidos IPs, like they haven´t ruined Taito IPs. You don´t see any RPGs from Taito or any Space Invaders Final Fantasy. Unless they abruptly change.

So, you mean I don't have any hope for a Taito-character version of Kingdom Hearts, complete with Rastan and the Bubble Bobble creatures?  DARN!

Even money on Lara Croft being in the next Kingdom Hearts!

Kingdom Hearts: Chests of Gold!  WOOO!

lol, I'm not true if it's intended but that's an awesome pun.

EIDOS accepts Square-Enix offer?

This little blurb is coming from BBC News…

Lara Croft firm agrees takeover: A Japanese computer games maker has agreed to buy Eidos, the UK company behind the Tomb Raider and Championship Manager games, for £84.3m ($120m).

I am still waiting for an official statement, but it looks like this might be a done deal already!

Wow, that actually isn't too much for a large company like Eidos.

Square had a secret plan... They planned on trying to get all of the HOT properties under one house.

Tecmo - Dead or Alive
Eidos - Tomb Raider

Square's perception of the Western audience being a bunch of horny men... confirmed.

Bandai is also guilty:

When you said 'One hit wonder' are you basing that on the eleven Final Fantasy games which begin as a new story? I said 11 cause FFX continues into FFX-2.

 

When I said one hit wonder, I was pointing at the fact that Square (I don't mean Square-Enix, but Square) has made over 20 games in the last 2 years with 'Final Fantasy' in the title.  While only creating 4 other games not linked to the FF name and publishing about that many other games from outside sources.

Square is just trying to shove Final Fantasy down our throats and doesn't want to make anything else.  I understand many of their original teams are gone and they probably can't make as good of a Chrono or Musashi game.  But that doesn't them from trying to make a good Mana, Saga or even original IP again.



Six upcoming games you should look into:
