The Square Enix Griefing Thread

SaGa was never AAA, shit I don't even think they ever promoted it much. Octopath Traveler and I Am Setsuna both got like a thousand times more press than any game in that series
The only promotion for SaGa I remember was Unlimited Saga on the PS2. The game disc had a trailer for FFX-2 on it... ... ... and that was advertised on the front of the box.
 
Parasite Eve
Square can't do dick with Parasite Eve as they lost the rights to the license (the video game is actually a sequel to the original novel, which has a Japanese live-action film adaptation). That's why The Third Birthday was called that and not Parasite Eve 3. And after that game flopped, I doubt Square Enix will ever do anything with the license again.
 
so what will be the big disaster the squeenix will publish this year? got to keep the 6 year streak going!
 
An incredible year:

9 month doesn't seem odd for Chocobo Racing, pretty sure Crash Team Racing remake got around that.

Babylons Fall is just sad, no reason it should been an always online game and they didn't even sell it off super cheap before delisting it, so if you want to see how bad it is you have ot find a over priced retail disc. GAAS is just a money sink, very few make money and they aren't cheap games to make. FF7 is a big brain but why would anyone want to play a FF7 GAAS over any of the other GAAS time skins on phones.



You bring up Harvestella and Valkurie Elysim getting meh reviews, but least people have heard of them unlike Various Daylife. Or you got stuff like Dragon Quest Treasures which just came out, got alright reviews but was switch only for some reason and already forgotten due Sqaure lack of marketing and having too many competing games.

Sqaure main issue is they put too many games out, many of the same genre. In 2022 you got The Diofield Chronicle, Triangle Strategy and Tactics Ogre: Reborn all similar type of games with Diofeield and Ogre only being within 2 months of each other. While none of them seem like bad games, they need to space them out better to avoid cannibalising on each other.

Regarding Harvestella, unfortunately you have to put LGBT shit in farming simulators now.

No, seriously. It's a thing, for some reason the LGBT crowd is extremely loud about it in that particular sector to the point where localizers have successfully leaned on Japanese devs to add that shit instead of fix bugs.

No, I do not quite grasp why farming simulators in particular are drawing those types in.

Probably escapism to outside the bughive with an actual community that all likes you unconditionally, without the stress of a real action game. It's also something they can sink hundreds of hours into.

because they're more than farming simulators, most of them are now paired with romance and general "life sim" stuff, just look at stardew valley. it's the hallmark version of bioware's alien pussy, that's why they go so apeshit over it.

GAAS can work fine, just that most publishers/devs suck at it. they suck at other games too, it's not a GAAS thing - although one aspect of GAAS is that they competes for your time - and money - even more than other the usual "one-and-done" games where you just start playing something else, so they require an even more careful approach.
for example as much as people shit on genshin's MUH 15 MINUTE DAILIES, the short amount of time it takes is one reason people are willing to keep doing it. if you'd have to spend 2-3 hours minimum per day just to get your chores done people will quickly burn out and tell you to fuck off (so all those clever ideas like "they'll play our game more than other games" and "if they don't have the time they'll just buy stuff" mean fuck all)

GP is such an oddity because it plays well, Arika is not known for making substandard products even if they are a dev for hire, and you can tell at a glance that they love every bit of the series with how many in-jokes and references they added. Its just a shame its stuck in the shadow of mismanagement, but going by how quickly the lobbies move people are playing it regularly.

Farm sims offer the escapist fantasy of being independent and self-sufficient, which is a major draw for faggots and trannies still living with their disappointed parents on autismbucks while pretending that their college degree will amount to anything. Toss in the bland romance factor that others have brought up and bam, you've got an infestation of toxoplasmosis gondi-carriers.
 
Augh! God no.

There are no developers in existence that can re-release Chrono Trigger and not completely fuck it up.
The most Square could do and not fuck it up would be an HD-2D remake, but Chrono Trigger deserves a full AAA remake, it's just too bad it'd end up like shit.
 
I liked Choco GP but it was too slow.
It could have used a speed tune up admittedly, but the cornering and control I have over the racers makes MK8 feel to damn stiff its hard to get used to.

HD-2D is the objectively better option, but I want Chrono Trigger saved for dead last to make sure the team has matured as much as possible. There have been no sour notes in the HD-2D line up thus far even if Octopus had some weak spots.

Do you mean because they'd fuck up a AAA remake, or HD-2D is just better on it's own merits for some reason?

But yeah, it should be last of all their remakes. That or SMRPG (which probably won't happen at all).
