Wada Explains the Revamp?

[Quanta]

To reverse Square Enix's fiscal fortunes, Wada hopes to give a major push to social networking games and apps for high powered cell phones.

Fuck everything about this.

Fuck everything about this.

Why? You have an issue with an Andoid/iOS FF game? Maybe an FF tactics type MMO for smart-phones and tablets?

I personally think SE should first licence the FF name to another small company to develop said game.

To be fair, I'm mostly railing against the push to social networking platforms than the smartphone market. Social games aren't games, they're viruses wrapped in a Skinner Box and given a shiny coat of paint designed to distract you from the fact that all you're doing is clicking on random shit, buying worthless virtual currency, and spamming the shit out of your friends' timelines.

iOS/Droid games can be fine (I have FFIII on my iPhone), but the big sellers there are almost exclusively casual fare on the level of Angry Birds or Cut The Rope.

Ideally, I'd like to see SE get back to its roots with the FF series and develop a game that's more like their SNES-era or PS1-era games than most of the shit they've put out in the last decade.

It's mainly for Japan, especially the cell phone gaming push.

I want to see SE make an open world fantasy game in the same vein as Oblivion or Fallout but with a Final Fantasy theme. I doubt it would happen, but i think it would be awesome.

That'd be way too amazing to happen. Your best bet would be to mod one of the above to a Final Fantasy-inspired RPG.

Better yet, wait for Skyrim to come out, then do it.

It's much more likely to happen with a Romancing SaGa theme.

It's much more likely to happen with a Romancing SaGa theme.

Even that would be ok. As long as its not Unlimited SaGa.

[Ostia]

It's much more likely to happen with a Romancing SaGa theme.

I would gladly play that, if it was like the last romancing SaGa (The bard one) or like the first 3.

Clicking on that link caused my antivirus to go off. Probably an ad or something but there was an obvious trojan on that site.
