Imagine all the redundant employees. If true, this is going to be a bloodbath.

How badly did Avengers do? It was some degree of fun, maybe it was the licensing fees.

I wonder what an Ubisoft open world Deus Ex would look like. Ah, who am I kidding. It'll just be Watch Dogs.

No, the Final Fantasy franchise is forever dead. FI-NI-TO! There is no chance Square will ever make a good Final Fantasy again. Never. ever! They just don't have the talent anymore. Everyone left.

I don't think FF had any Western influence. The only gaijin I know of who worked of FF recently is Roberto Ferrari but he designed Cindy and she is haraam amongst progressives so...

I don't belive this. I'm sure there would be a bidding war from a lot of companies.

Why? Deus Ex didn’t sell. Tomb Raider sold less with each installment. Thief didn’t sell. Their DEV teams aren’t particularly great. There’s nothing to really have a bidding war over.

I certainly didn't buy it. But I have watched some great critiques of it on YouTube and it does look like a very poorly thought out live service game.

I still believe that Microsoft will be the one to acquire them. I expect Avengers on Gamepass in a couple of months.

Square Enix western division is garbage anyway, they're responsible for Avengers bombing, an ip that had no business bombing as bad as it did. Besides tomb raider which went woke anyways, I can't see how this a big loss for SE, more like a necessary sacrifice, hopefully this won't hold them back anymore and they can focus 100% of their budget on their Japanese division like they used to.

I'd actually take a Deus Ex like that (as long as they finish Adam's trilogy and reboot DX1).
Just Cause would be like GTA Online, but even more absurd.
The rest... *shiver*

Microsoft buy them and Give the Deus Ex IP to Arkane!!!
Horrible if true.
The video game sector is in self-destruction mode. If you though Avengers was bad, even though the Eidos reboot were amazing, wait till you see how fucking disgusting Ubisoft will turn Tomb Raider, Just Cause or Deus EX into.
Ubisoft just doesn't have a serious international level design approach of things, and they fired the few they had because of false/uncalled accusations. A failing company selling to a worse failing company really is the beginning of the end.

Eidos would be a better fit for Ubisoft than square anyways. Square/enix should just stick to RPGs. In an rpg you boost the stats you're good at, buying eidos just boosted their action-game lineup... making them middle of the road.
Should have been square + enix + falcom .. falcom needs help with graphics, final fantasy needs help with gameplay and story, it's a win-win. Maybe then we can finally play all the legend of heroes games in english.

Hate giving this shitty trainwreck of a thread another bump, but this is simply not true. Final Fantasy XIV is one of the best FF games of all time and it keeps delivering with every update.
In before the "MMORPGs can't be good!" whines.
Heavenward is a fucking masterpiece.
