I'll be adding at least one more before 2012 is done.

This is the game that SE fans deserved. Not the one it needed.

This is what we get for not being more supportive like Perfo.

 

[Conrad Link]

I guess the good part is I don't have to worry or cry over it not getting an English release when I don't care about it to begin with?

SE: "You're welcome."

 

[Father_Brain]

give me some credit here, I invented that rule

I hereby credit you for the invention of that rule. Henceforth, you are credited.

 

[DJIzana]

I don't get why anyone paid attention to this countdown. Square Enix (or either separate) hasn't made a single good game. If anything, these dumpy looking browser games are probably the most interesting thing they've made in their 30-ish year history.

I see what you did thur.

 

[kayos90]

This is what we get for not being more supportive like Perfo.

We should be ashamed of ourselves. ASHAMED.

 

[Meccanical]

This is what we get for not being more supportive like Perfo.

We should have listened.

Now it is too late.

:_;

 

[EDarkness]

I guess after they had one successful MMO they thought they could get away with a second, but then why would they have made it such garbage after spending 8 years making the first one good?

I'm sure not even Square Enix knows.

Blame the guy who made the game. People in beta were telling them that the game wasn't good. That should have been a red flag right there.

 

[Shinta]

This is what we get for not being more supportive like Perfo.

Well, if more people bought their portable games or portable systems in general, I can think of two games that we'd probably have by now. It's not really consequential if GAF skipped it though; it's the casual audience that used to play on DS and PSP that matters.

 

[Midou]

Blame the guy who made the game. People in beta were telling them that the game wasn't good. That should have been a red flag right there.

Yes, I was in the beta, I thought for sure, the beta must have just had limited content cause they wanted to test specific things. Like no way anyone would launch like that.

Square Enix does not exactly reside on pillars of logic.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Copying a bad game like ogame and putting cards is not interesting."



You're right. Square rehashed FF7 and put cards in, but FF8 still ended up awful.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

I came for the disappointment. Left satisfied.

 

[Dark Schala]

We should be ashamed of ourselves. ASHAMED.

I am truly disappointed in you.

 

[Pennywise]

You mods should warn the uninformed people out there on Gaf (editing the thread title).
Of course Duckroll would like to preserve the depressing atmosphere.
But there are still people who BELIEVE in square enix.

 

[Midou]

I came for the disappointment. Left satisfied.

I want this result more than I wanted it to be a proper game. I am a bad person.

 

[Aeana]

They have done everything in there power to disappoint.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I still believe in Square ENIX, they released the FF IV CC and Theatrhythm in the past 2 years.

No no no. I'm disappointed in YOU.

 

[Meccanical]

I still believe in Square ENIX, they released the FF IV CC and Theatrhythm in the past 2 years.

Oh yeah, yet another version of FFIV, the most by the book JRPG of all time(because it wrote the book, but still) and a rhythmn game with no original music.

 

[Pennywise]

Why?

It's like the OT Thread about parents who lie about Santa.

You can break the chain of madness !

Anyway, it was fun.
Good night Gaf.

 

[Paracelsus]

I still believe in Square ENIX, they released the FF IV CC and Theatrhythm in the past 2 years.

I stopped believing in them when I realized their best game since TWEWY is easily Sleeping Dogs.

holy crap that is pretty sad list.

I hope Eidos staff got a nice bonus this year for keeping that sinking ship afloat.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Lol i wonder if Square has given any thought to the constant barrage of Star ocean tweets during this countdown for a game few people to no one will likely care about.

Then again if they have of course any movement will be on the star ocean trading card /lightning dating sim that they will believe everyone truely wants...

It's fucking insane how far SE has fallen in the span of just one generation...Wada should be ashamed, and fired.

Either way, I expected nothing, and thats what I got.

Thank God for that. Would have missed out on a lot of excellent music

 

[Eusis]

Let's be fair here: how many of the big rhythm games were gotten for original music? Either people wanted to simulate the experience of playing a guitar or whatever, or they wanted to play out songs they liked. Similar here, they get to do some rhythm tapping to go along favorite songs from the FF series.

Still, if those are your highlights then... uhh, yeah. :/

I'd like to believe the huge amount of tweets about Star Ocean would make them rethink what they are doing (or not doing) with the franchise. Tri-Ace seems to be doing a lot of development assistance with games, but not making any on their own..

 

[brandonh83]

Why?

They have done everything in there power to disappoint.

I would normally roll my eyes at a statement like this or write it off as negative hyperbole, but it really does feel like they're trying to underwhelm.

Ah, browser game. MBISON-YEEEEEES.jpg

 

[Emitan]

Because they're making a next gen Valkyrie Profile game. Right? Right!?

 

[Deleted member 20920]

I've played Monster Dragon before, but not for long. The production values are pretty nice for a browser game, and there seems to be more strategy and system design than a normal card game: http://monsterdragon.jp/

I haven't tried Crystal Conquest yet though, but it has always looked interesting to me since they announced it: http://crystalconquest.jp/

Thanks a lot Will go try.

 

[Meccanical]

Thank God for that. Would have missed out on a lot of excellent music

Hey man, if every rhythmn game followed that attitude we would have never gotten Parappa the Rapper and Gitaroo Man.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Oh yeah, yet another version of FFIV, the most by the book JRPG of all time(because it wrote the book, but still) and a rhythmn game with no original music.

But it had a new Interlude and prettier graphics. And there's no such thing as enough Nobuo.

 

[MagiusNecros]

All to make us herald Lightning Saga.

 

[Dark Schala]

No no no. I'm disappointed in YOU.

I knew I should've bought more Square-Enix merchandise. I should have believed and stopped criticizing parts of Square-Enix's games' design. Tch. What kind of Square-Enix fan am I?!

I still believe in Square ENIX, they released the FF IV CC and Theatrhythm in the past 2 years.

Yes. The world needed yet another release of Final Fantasy 4.

And yet another one this year.

You know, to celebrate FF5's anniversary.

 

[Meccanical]

You know, to celebrate FF5's anniversary.

FF5's anniversary was thrown into the Void.

 

[Ezalc]

Why?

Because there are people who still believe in Capcom. It's like an endless cycle of why.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

PEOPLE FEARED iOS

WHAT THEY GOT WAS FLASH

A browser game!?

A browser game needed a COUNTDOWN!?

 

[nasos_333]

So, no Bravely Default for US



So sad

Well, this is Square though, it has been a constant dissapointment for years now

 

[Meccanical]

Because there are people who still believe in Capcom. It's like an endless cycle of why.

To be fair I found Dragon's Dogma enjoyable, I have full faith they will ruin the sequel however.

 

[Aeana]

So, no Bravely Default for US



So sad

Well, if you were expecting a Japanese teasier site to be about a US localization then there was no way things were going to end well for you!

 

[Emitan]

To be fair I found Dragon's Dogma enjoyable, I have full faith they will ruin the sequel however.

Maybe the sequel will have co-op and be on PC. I will care then!

 

[Nirolak]

I'm going to make Browser Game my final prediction.

[MechaX]

So what's below "Browser Game" at this point? Tiger Electronics Handheld?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Because there are people who still believe in Capcom. It's like an endless cycle of why.

Wait, wait.

People still believe in Capcom? Wh--- Oh. Yeah. I get it.

In any case, I'm okay with Lightning Returns, but after I was burned by FF14, I've kinda given up on Square Enix.

Bravely Default could restore that hope, though. It's pretty incredible that they launched an announcement for a goddamned browser game...

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Was not expecting much from SE.
Seems like i made the right choice .
