    [13/05] Square-Enix financials: ¥13.7 billion loss

    Fleur: Post of the year. The big name console devs/publishers are burning themselves to the ground with their bloated budgets and anti-consumer practices, and fittingly consumer loyalty is dive-bombing. The smarter companies know their market and aren't trying to imitate COD numbers. I have a...

    [08/05] Amano, Uematsu and Compile Heart developing Fairy Fencer F

    Compile Heart did say the Galapagos brand was aimed purely at Japan and no one else (or rather people who enjoy that style of game) so it's not surprising. If there's one thing to be said about this, it's that they're sticking to their guns instead of trying to broaden appeal. Fleur: The...

    [30/04] Square Enix confirm lay-offs at European and UK offices

    Activision, EA, and other large publishers also complain about sales regularly. All of them have impossibly high sales expectations because of how much money they've poured into the things hoping to get a profit. It's a fool's business. The AAA market needs to find a way to be sustainable...

    Is Cloud a good character?

    Crisis Core ruined Cloud's character, IMO, in its pursuit of making Zack a one-man-army-god-sue. FFVII's portrayal (the original) of Cloud is what I take as canon, and the rest of the compilation is mostly fanservice to me. You'll find the two games vary a lot when it comes to Cloud and his...

    [21/02] Final Fantasy XIV could be Coming to PS4

    Yeah, the first version was shite. Given the attention SE's putting onto its MMO entries of FF, I think it's reasonable to imagine the next in the series having some of that open world element. They took a lot of cues from XI in making XII, perhaps we'll see the same with XV. XIII's world was...

    [21/02] Final Fantasy XIV could be Coming to PS4

    I was thinking it would eventually find its way to the PS4. They will most likely use the PC code and not the PS3's since the PS4 is closer in design to a PC than its predecessor. Good news!

    [05/02] RUMOR: Final Fantasy Versus 13 going next-gen in 2014, Square dropping name

    I've seen this guy post on Gfaqs too. I'll believe it when I see it. If he actually knows what he's talking about then he'll get credibility at that time - I see all this as him stirring things up for his own amusement.

    Which one next???

    Play the most controversial games first (XII, then XIII), and then move on to the other games. Rethink them once you've played everything and judge for yourself their quality. Don't let other people tell you which games are good or aren't. You're the only one who can decide that for yourself.

    [23/01] A Realm Reborn β is Just Around the Corner…

    Are you serious? Have you been keeping up with ARR or are you still stuck in 2011? This is a remake of the original failed XIV.

    My theory on FF VS 13 not showing any new development and when we should expect some

    SE is actually getting a lot of profit from mobile games and their shift to being more of a publisher than a developer. IMO they've taken on an almost unbearably huge load of projects (LR:XIII, XIV:ARR, VSXIII as far as AAA titles go, and who knows how many other yet-unknown projects are in the...

    Is Final Fantasy a Dying Series?

    I think it is dying in terms of popularity. You've pretty much said what I would have said, though I'll add that perhaps this perspective will change in the coming months once Lightning Returns and A Realm Reborn are released. If Versus news comes out there will be a resurgence of discussion...

    Water

    You technically have access to Waterja by using quickening chains. I think...I know there's at least one -ja spell that has bubbles and water effects.

    [17/01] Japan ranks their favorite female characters from the Final Fantasy series

    That's more a reflection on them than her :awesome: I'm not surprised Lightning's on top since she's the face of SE at the moment. More importantly, I'm not a huge fan of Aerith or Yuna being where they are. Ashe should have ranked higher, along with Tifa and Garnet. And Fang should be on here...

    Nintendo Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

    The deer reminds me of the forest spirit from Princess Mononoke with its huge tree-branching antlers. The Y-shaped flying thing looks like a molten piece of construction paper.

    Am I the only one that thinks older retro games are far better than the games they put out today?

    Depends on what you call retro. Many people who are older would say that the NES/SNES era were the retro period and not the late 90's forward. Or even further than that, in the Atari age. Video games have only been around for about ~40 years or so. Huge sweeping statements like 'all of today's...
