Square-Enix, oh how the first half of your glorious company provided the gaming world with some of the best RPGs ever known to man kind, oh how this did not continue, I do not know. Well maybe I do, money more than likely. Ever since this merge/take-over Square-Enix has pumped out a plethora of Final Fantasy spin-offs and re-makes and continues to ride the most expensive gold lined Final Fantasy train into the land of wealth. I mean for fucks sake, how many different versions of Final Fantasy I and II are there out and about now? 7?
I've lost count of the amount of spin-offs there are, Final Fantasy Crystal This, Final Fantasy Crystal That, Final Fantasy King of Income for the Land of Squre-Enix, Final Fantasy Fuck Off. Why can't we just have plain ol' good quality Final Fantasy games? Look what Square-Enix did to Final Fantasy XII, they butchered it. That's not to say it's not a good, enjoyable game, it's just not Final Fantasy. The removal of the more traditional Final Fantasy battle-system pretty much killed this game as a Final Fantasy game for me, it's just not the same. At all!
For me, Final Fantasy as always been about being epic, more epic than anything else, epic story, epic characters and epic fucking battles that could last for well over half an hour if the enemy was bad arse enough, now what do I have? Fucking Zelda. If I want to play Zelda I'll play it (Great games by the way) Don't even get me started on Final Fantasy X-2..
I am praying that Square-Enix can make a good Final Fantasy out of Final Fantasy XIII or at least Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and about the latter, it has the most stupid name ever and apparently it's meant to be like a more classic Final Fantasy game... Gee I fucking hope so. I really do.
I don't know if it's fair to be pissed off at Square-Enix for this next part but if I have to be pissed off at someone it's either Squre-Enix or Microsoft, most likely Microsoft. I'm not cut about the fact that Final Fantasy XIII is going to the X360, I'm pissed about the fact that the X360 version of the game is not even being put into development until the PS3 version is done, complete, finished, 100%, wrapped up, not needing any more work done on it and on blu-ray discs. So now I have to wait, for fucking ages, because Square-Enix has turned into a company that gives more of a shit about the money than the shit they are so easily shitting out. Square Soft, please come back and save Final Fantasy from it's impending demise. Please.
