vycebrand2 05/01/24 7:13:37 PM #55:	Look I will buy any SE as long as it's a Rpg or TRPG. I was done with after Tactics Ogre Reborn was released. None of the changes made any logical sense. I would have liked to have a 1:1 port of the PSP versions. What we got was the worst parts of previous versions and added unneed systems. They stripped out many things that gave it more customisation in previous versions. Now who is to blame for this who knows? Matsuno was there in a toned down role. It's his baby he should have spoke up more. To me it shows that there is a culture that everyone is a yes man and afraid of saying this is a bad idea. They are afraid of losing their jobs. There needs to be people there that want to right the ship again --- I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me- <cite>vycebrand2 posted [p:980193968] in Square ann... [t:80759034]...</cite> <quote>Look I will buy any SE as long as it's a Rpg or TRPG.

PoIkan 05/01/24 7:31:04 PM #57:	Solar_Crimson posted... I wonder if that Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake was among these titles? I doubt it. Dragon Quest is massive in Japan, the story is already there, the budget to do an HD remake isn't that costly, and there's definitely demand over there. I think Dragon Quest being cancelled would be a very blind move by them. Especially with the passing of Toriyama..... but who knows. This decision seems to have happened after Toriyama's passing, so maybe they cancelled it BECAUSE he died. <cite>PoIkan posted [p:980194164] in Square ann...

Hyena_Of_Ice 05/01/24 10:53:09 PM #68:	From what I'm seeing by skimming the Google results from the last hour, it sounds like one of the things they're scrapping is the HD remasters of old games. It also sounds like yet-to-be-announced games make up a sizable percentage of the cancellations. bigtiggie23 posted... Visions of Mana is still coming soon right? If it is an HD remaster of a previous title, then no, it has been cancelled. If it is a brand new game, then who knows at this point. <cite>Hyena_Of_Ice posted [p:980197482] in Square ann...

BDSMKane 05/01/24 11:36:20 PM #71:	MarcyWarcy posted... they're long overdue to go under, get it over with already Overall, the Digital Entertainment segment of Square Enix totaled 179,654 million ($1,152,713,582.93 USD) in net sales, which is a *2.6% decrease from the prior fiscal year. The Digital Entertainment segment had an operating income of 30,715 million ($197,076,590.00 USD), is a 20.7% decrease from the prior fiscal year. The company reported 257,612 million in net sales during the nine-month period ending December 31, 2023. This is an increase of 0.8% from the companys prior fiscal year* during the same period of time. Square Enix also reported a *15.5% decrease in its operating income* which totaled 34,918 million. They arent going anywhere, theyre just sticking to their tried and true practice of pleading poverty to make their fans defend their MTX or anti-consumer business practices. Any big money investor who takes a look at their actual numbers would still feel confident; its only us little people who still think theyre going under. --- No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted.
