Maybe if they clean house on execs and go private.
It's amazing how a company that used to make such altogether magical games has been so continuously mismanaged as to wind up here.
Also, Tomb Raider was an amazing game. I don't see how they managed to fail with that kind of a product. Must have spent a lot of money on crappy marketing or something.

He isn't leading Square. The former CFO is. Same thing is going to happen with EA. As bad as the old guard was, the replacements are going to make them seem like saints.

Well, time to start hoping again that Dragon Quest X, Dragon Quest 7 Remake, Rocket Slime 3D, Dragon Quest Monsters Remake, and Dragon Quest Monsters 2 Remake come over, since they're likely to be the last non-mobile Dragon Quest games for a long while.
Fuck you, Square-Enix.
Fuck you, Square-Enix.
maybe it won't be so bad once iOS controllers start hitting the market. My biggest complaint is being forced to play entirely on the touch screen, which I loathe.
I'd rather have more PS4 games and will definitely buy FFXV and KHIII, and have already bought and enjoyed FFXIV 2.0 (both PC and PS3, soon upgrading to PS4 ver.)... i'm doing my part, square
I can't stand the mobile gaming experience though. I want games I can lose myself in, not games designed to be played for 10-15mins here and there, sigh. We have tons of that shit already!! Give me full game worlds and stories to enjoy.

Their best game under SE, Tomb Raider, has a pretty meh multiplayer.

Who knew the day I'd miss Wada would come.
Who knew.

My new plan: No money at all to Square-Enix.
This is why Nintendo fans should be dreading the idea of Iwata being removed. This is fucking why.
'Cept FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3

But Mario on iOS! The dream of all investors!

I think they're also MMO projects or online only.

And now he makes only mobile games too.
In before overreactions ignoring FFXV, KHIII, Bravely Default 2, Drakengard III, KH2.5HD, Murdered: Soul Suspect, Thief 4 and a lot of other upcoming non-online & non-smartphone games that Square Enix is still making and will very likely still continue making.
Oh wait, I'm already 4 pages too late (8 pages for 50-page people).

At least release FFTA3 on the 3DS, please.
Let's see what fate befalls Atlus, which is still largely up in the air, first k?
It's amazing how mismanagement can take one of the brightest and best companies out there and just destroy it over time, isn't it? Worse is when like a black hole they take out neighboring companies.

I've been sticking with SE for a long time, always hoping that they could turn it around a little bit (I actually enjoyed FFXIII), but I feel like it's time to give up.
Tales of is the new FF.

Lol just remembered about that... Guess 15 will be a true Final Fantasy
Let us just hope Sony gets it right...
How is this mismanagement? Where does it say they are not going to make a game like Deus Ex: Human Revolution again? Or that Final Fantasy XV will be the last console & non-mobile FF ever? Deus Ex 4 might be more online-focused, but it could just mean it'll be more like Watch Dogs, where you can play the game online with friends (keyword being "can", not "forced to")Let's see what fate befalls Atlus, which is still largely up in the air, first k?

They are just covering all of their bases. There's obviously audience in both the online gaming market & mobile phone market, so only a stupid company would ignore that, but they've repeated time & time again they aren't abandoning developing games like FFXV & KHIII altogether.

Dream well Sleeping Dogs, my sweet prince *snif*
And some people want Iwata to go from Nintendo. People, this is what happens when you do this, investors take reigns and all goes to shit.
Exactly

lol, this company is DONE.
Yeah, abandon Square Enix when they just fixed what many deemed unfixable with FFXIV:ARR, are developing what will probably be their most ambitious FF ever with Final Fantasy XV, are finally bringing another big franchise back to consoles with Kingdom Hearts III, are putting out great remasters with KH1.5 HD, FFX | X-2 HD, KH2.5HD and probably more in the future (FFXII HD), have returned to some more traditional non-realistic fantasy RPGs with Bravely Default and have some interesting smaller upcoming games like Murdered: Soul Suspect & Drakengard III.
Yeah, they are beyond hope. Get a grip, people. Stop with the silly knee-jerk reactions to non-news.
