Xenogears never got a sequel, what the fuck are you talking about?

Huh, i'm sure he's confusing Xenoblade with Xenogears, which is lmao.

Or Xenosaga, those fell apart after Episode 1 and they had to restructure everything.

I meant the Xenosaga games, hence why i put sequels into parenthesis quotes in my post. Fuck me, my english is failing me.

Those weren't Square though, they were published by Bandai

Nomura didn't write Remake or Rebirth, that was Kazushige Nojima/Motomu Toriyama for the former and Nojima alone for the latter.

Nomura derangement syndrome is sadly a real thing, and most of the complains come from retards who have never even touched any Nomura slop or niggers who parrot XV-kun/barry from /v/

Ironically, Nomura was one of the people at S-E who wanted it to be more faithful. He seems like the kind of guy who likes his nostalgia clean and his Kingdom Hearts maximum wild ride.

What a stupid fuckin' excuse. Making the remake not a remake is what causes it to lose its significance, because it is an AAA game from the 2020s and those fuckin' suck ass.

Pretty sure it being a timed exclusive on the dogshit console known as no gaymes 5 on a country that has pretty much abandoned it is what made it lose significance

Funny how people tend to forget about one of the oldest flops square enix ever created, back when it was still eidos interactive:

The game that makes fallout tactics seem like a masterpiece

Square Enix to record extraordinary loss of 22.1 billion yen in “content abandonment losses” following revised development approach​

Square Enix to be "more selective and focused in the allocation of development resources."

It's the equivalent of $140 million. They're blaming it on lack of mobile games. Don't know how they can be "more selective" when they have only a few games under their slate for release at all.

• Visions of Mana
• Final Fantasy VII Remake final game
• Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
• Dragon Quest XII
• Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link
• Kingdom Hearts IV

Maybe Square should try making smaller games again. I want a Nier 3 but they will probably never do it because it won't sell a billion copies and they probably considered Automata a failure even though it sold 7.5 million copies (mostly from the Switch port, who would have guessed)

But is it fantastic? That is the question.

No...?

I'm surprised that nobody has posted this in this thread yet, so I'll crosspost these other guys' posts here for you:

FF7 Rebirth is still selling like shit and it might barely meet FF16's week 1 sales after 3 months. What is Square Enix's response to this disaster? They are now dropping PS exclusivity and doing day 1 releases on all platforms now.

The actual slide in question:

Yep. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sales have been so abysmal (as have FF XVI's, probably), that Square Enix is abandoning console exclusivity entirely and going pure multiplatform.

At least FFVII Remake Part 3 won't be another timed exclusive on PS5 this time. Hopefully this also means they'll stop fucking around and finally put Kingdom Hearts on Steam.

 

[Product Placement]

Square weren't just doing Playstation exclusives, they have been doing Switch ones as well, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince being the latest one. Some of the switch games did get late ports to PC but by then the marketing hype was over and kind of just came and went. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is another weird one, came out on PS4 and Switch but missed PC.

When Sega had the most growth in their IPs when they did day one pc ports with Persona and Yakuza, or with Capcom with Monster Hunter Worlds being PC day one, makes little sense why any Japanese publisher wouldn't do the same.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

At least FFVII Remake Part 3 won't be another timed exclusive on PS5 this time.

Watch them release Part 3 on Switch 2 without releasing the first two.
