Forums - Sony Discussion - What has gotten into Square Enix?

What is wrong with these idiots these days. This was once the same company that put out a AAAA game every year with VII,VIII,IX, etc. The company that was known as the KING of JRPGs for years.

At the start of this gen they were on a set path for glory. They boasted FFXIII as PS3 exclusive, as well as Versus and Agito(for PSP and cellphone). Now a few years have passed. SE has released not 1, not 2, but 3 games(Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean The Last Hope) exclusively for a system that their main fanbase will not imbrace.

Their sales are through the floor, with only remakes keeping them afloat. They keep treading the same road that has proven un successful to them (X360 only) when it comes to JRPG sales.

Constant promises made and broken:FFXIII's exclusivity to PS3 crushed to dust and made MP. Last Remnant promised to be SIMILTANEOUS MULTIPLATFORM RELEASE for PS3 and X360. The game has YET to grace the PS3 platform after several months, it even has reached PC first.

They seem to be down right disrespecting their fanbase by not releasing a SINGLE PS3 game yet. You know, the system that revitalized Square's fame in the first place when VII came out, THe system made by the company that has bailed them out of some seriously risky deals such as leaving Nintendo for the better or keeping them afloat during the Spirits Within Fiasco(at least till they merged with Enix).

They also just dodge the questions when someone asks them about what the hell they are doing...

Square Enix has trully lost all respect from gamers.

 

What do you guys think is behind this?

i admit they have fell off ALOT



You should be beaten, burned to ashes then someone should throw your ashes from a plane

Yea, they fell hard. They still do stuff, but the excitement is gone, and it is just "meh"

I think a poor business management system has gotten into them.

They sold themselves, and all there games became soulless

hey M$ $$$ >>> ps3 sales $$$. It's all about the benjamins.

This is what we call a "square-enix for the world" strategy made by our favorite CEO Yoichi Wada.

Square Enix Gets me so ANGRY ! To watch them water down potentially awesome games is really hard.



I pray for a NEW JRPG franchise to put the traitorous SE to shame!!!!

Lots of their talent is either not there anymore (Sakaguchi for your best example), or has no more talent, or doesn't get any attention. Their last few games are good - but nothing like Squaresoft/Enix stuff.

And to top all that, they are going after the mainstream western audience ATM. What the fuck, SE?



A week at vgchartz cant pass without a "boo-hoo why 360 and not the PS3, Square?!!" thread.

We need to make an official one.



Square hasn't been the same since Sakaguchi and Uematsu left.
