    Square Enix has to choose if they want to be a world leader in quality and value like the makers of Guild Wars are happy to be if SE doesn't want it, or if they want to keep producing low production value, high profit margin games like The World Ends With You and more iphone games.

    Square Enix has adopted NASA's "cheaper faster...just as good" strategy, but unlike NASA who has had great successes with that mantra, all of Square Enix's products have fallen off cliffs or forgotten to carry the 1.

    And all that's left are products that are just...missing big somethings. If TWEWY feels like it's missing something epic...hello. It's not a RPG. It's a text adventure with a battle engine.

    You can't cut corners like that forever. TWEWY is a good product. It is not a good long term strategy.

    And that strategy, I fear, comes straight from the president of SE. You can't keep lowering production value like this. Guild Wars isn't. No one else is.
