[Multiplatform] 3 New Square-Enix games

What did you expect from a company whose main concern is profit over actual creativity?

I'm still exicted about KH2 FM though, the only link to knowing what's gonna be in store for KH3 is in that damn new secret ending...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So its suddenly too much to ask for a game developing company to create more diverse original games then constant milking? I mean look at Clover Studios! They gain profit, and yet they're creative and their works have variety. Konami makes games in different genres or styles, as well as Capcom.

And if it weren't for the secret ending, I doubt any of us will be that excited over FM. Or the possiblity of fighting ALL 13 org members. (Not to mention on another note, if they want profit, why not drop the xenphobic attitude and get Final Mix in the USA as well? And while you're at it, market the games better, people actually WANT to SEE the trailers, not just read about them, and the spoilers excuse is lame after that 15 min MGS4 trailer).

All I'm saying is that the other companies seem to want profit AND make good original games, Square just seems to wants to milk and churn out the usual stuff just for profit. If it weren't for Nomura, I don't see how they can keep it up, the majority of their talent is gone(Chrono and Xeno team is gone), including the creator of FF himself. Matsuno made a mess during the development of FF12, and alot of staff left during that time. I'm hoping the next gen titles can improve this, at least each FFXIII title deals with a different story and characters. All I'm asking is a little balance. A little intergrity can't hurt too. (No more putting Gackt in games BS please)

Personally, I think if it wasn't for the FF movie, Square wouldn't be so profit hungry.

Speaking of original titles, I am curious about that DS title its a Wonderful World. Seems a rather unique title, and seeing as I have a DS lite I am interested.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The thing is, if a game like Dirge was a more solid game I probably wouldn't be complaining about it so much, I felt the reason DoC was created was like a forced piece of work just for the sake of expanding FF7 to get more money, and not cause they wanted to make great shooter game to challenge themselves in a different genre or something like that. I was fine with the AC movie, then they start announcing the other FF7 titles, one which we can't play on our cell phones, among others that seem to have potential.

Then DoC came out and I just felt like its milking for the sake of it, and they didnt put much good work into it, they improved it for the NA release, showing that they at least admit the gameplay was kinda broken, but it only succeed in making it playable.

International version are for profit, but at least the games that get special editions tend to be solid titles. A game like DoC was like churning out a cheap toy for a quick buck. I like KH, the first FM eas enoyable with new enemies and most of all, a really tough proud mode that got me hooked and developed my skills. The new scenes and secret ending are major bonuses to tie me over till KH2 came out. Its still a solid game that I felt was my money's worth, DoC however was not.

Now we have more FF7 titles coming up and I dunno if it will fall into the DoC catergory in terms of gameplay. If they actually work hard to make a solid games out of these, I can forgive the overboard milking, but untill then, I still stand by my point the lack of actual decent game development to make unoriginal cheap toys.

Bottom line, if you're gonna milk it, might as well make a great game while you're at it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Final Mix was a Japan only release, none of the international versions of the SE games ever make it beyond Japan.

And I have the first final mix, I got it when it first came out, I have beaten it and will be getting the second one.

I have been importing games all my life cause I lived in Hong Kong till recently, I'm now in LA for college. In Hong Kong, most of the games are imported from Japan, and we play them even though we can only read the kanji, but that's the best we can do. You guys may get games alot later, but at least you can understand it. Luckily now that I'm in the USA, I can play English games now.

I have to say I never care much about the DW games, the gameplay was a bit repetitive for me, but since fans like it and its still a solid game, I don't see that much of a problem, and most action games remain bascially the same most of the time.

And I said it before, if you're gonna milk it, at least make it a solid game that lives up to the previous games, not Dirge of Cerberus.
