How can Squeenix fix itself?

Had'ohken · 12-01-2008, 06:22 PM

I've been thinking a lot about this, and I even saw the buried thread about the order to not do anything not bearing the FF or KH name. This has gotten me wondering how they can stop screwing themselves up the anal cavity with a 10-foot dildo made of coarse iron. I think they need to focus on putting one or two REALLY GOOD games out a year instead of several merely passable works. Instead of letting Nomura have his way with his Orgy of Overrated Final Fantasy, take some control away from ZipperKing. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP WITH THE GODDAMN J-POP SONGS. And transforming summons? NO NO NO, Square, no no NO! That's not innovating, that's making me think how much cooler FFXIII would be if Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and crew showed up to fight off the monsters. FFXIII also didn't need to be 3 games, and that's probably taxing resources even more.

I also liked Kingdom Hearts before it became less Disney and more animu/Final Fantasy. But the point stands that they need to do SOMETHING. The last hope for a non-mainstream game of theirs succeeding is SO4, and if that bombs, I fear we'll be DROWNING in the Final Fantasy name.

Thoughts? Opinions? Bitch fests?

More Dragon Quest
Less Final Fantasy

Enix > Square (I'm aware of the hypocrisy)

EDIT: Giving me more Chrono Break would be nice. It's the only reason I bought Chrono Trigger again for the DS.

Ugh, no. After Cross and CTDS, I don't trust S-E anywhere near the Chrono franchise anymore. I'd rather they just let it die at this point.

I'll buy Break if they add some of those J-POP songs I mentioned.

Damnit, RT, I'm not supposed to agree with you!

I'll be interested in seeing how the next Star Ocean game comes out. As for it being a 'niche' series, Star Ocean: Till The End of Time did gain a greatest hits release over here in the states, so it can't be that niche.

Quit adding the Squarenix tax to their DS games. I'm through paying 40 dollars for their games when all the other games are only 30 dollars, ESPECIALLY remakes of games I've played a thousand times. That is why I will not be purchasing Chrono Trigger DS until it drops in price or I can order it from someplace at the normal price.

Oddly enough, J-Pop songs seem slightly more fitting to the Chrono universe than your average Final Fantasy...but what do I know? Apparently not as much as whoever came up with Final Fantasy X-2.
