Dear SE,

I am writing you today because i feel that some things have bothered me for far too long and i need to get them out.

Growing up playing your wonderful games (Squaresoft), the many stories and iconic characters like moogles and chocobos blending together into living and breathing world where you felt almost at home, is one of the things i will never forget as long as i live.

I will always remember the laughs and tears i shared with friends, the heated discussions about who or what is evil and good. The anticipation for the next big title to be released that brings plenty of the known characters and even more new adventures and stories. Amazed by every new title you released, always surprised how you could maintain such a high standard.

When you released FF11, i was excited. I always wanted to share the world of Final Fantasy and the many adventures with friends, online at the same time. And you did again, give us a great experience so close to your single player games, yet able to share it with friends.

Epic stories unfolded, friends would start to identify with nations and races, roleplaying was never that easy. It was not just about finishing a quest, it was about pride and achievement. It was about friendship, exploring and adventures.

It felt good to share all these adventures with friends, and surprisingly, it still is at this day.

But, something has changed, it has been lurking all these years and we, the fans, always feared this day would come. And when it came, i was in denial, i tried really hard to like your new games. I forced myself to like them although they were shallow compared to the greatness i have seen from you before.

At what point, SE, did you loose your magic? I can't really tell anymore, can you? Why did you give up what made you unique and stand out from all the other RPG developers?

Why SE, do you try to be something you are not, you must have by now realized that you are terrible at it. You must have realized that you alienated and lost most of your fans.

All these fans, that stayed with you, like me, for many years, miss you. We are still here, we are grown up now, most of us i assume have maybe less time but plenty of money to spare.

We are not going anywhere soon, we are still waiting for you to come to your senses and make both of us happy. We are happy to give you our money, you just need to give us a reason to do so and you do know how to.

You remember, do you, SE?

Sincerely,
Skyrant Kangaroomouse
