Sometimes I think they should focus on one project at a time, but if they are confident and have the resources, then good for them.

interesting....
Full Metal Alchemist. Do Want.
I think they may be spreading themselves too thin. We've been getting less quality products, and a lot of them...
SE is a developer and a Publisher, They have tons of outside houses that work for them too like Crystal Dynamics and IO.
They are not spreading themselves too thin if they task a inactive group or a group that had one of its recent projects (gunloco) shut down do to quality control.
If I can solo in the new MMO,bye bye FFXIV?? I have to wait and see the summer patch. If I can still solo in FFXIV, I wills tay. If not,I'll check out their new MMO. :P
I just mean in general when we reminisce about how good games 'were' in comparison to how they 'are' now it would seem there are several more projects going on and being released then in the past, but not all of them comparable in quality or completion. I know there are several variables like several teams throughout Square Enix and being a publisher of other developers, but overall...some of the things I've been seeing I can't say I fully approve of.
For example, Square has there hand in so many things, even making models of Halo merchandise. Doesn't that seem so odd? They're dabbling in so much...but what has come out in the past 5ish years that really touched us like in the past? That felt relatively complete, compelling, and overall something we would add to our "favorite games" list. More often than not...games released in those past 5 years or so are talked about only to represent the 'bad' of them, and not about anything positive, but perhaps graphics?
I wouldn't mind people proving me wrong on these thoughts. I want to believe SE is as good as they have always been. I mean, I'm still here playing this game because I'm trying to hold out hope for it. But..as evidence feels like it's piling up before me, I'm starting to wonder...
