Yo, SE, Is it true?

They say they lost 55 million on lost investment for the games they dropped do to quality.

The ones I could find were Gunloco, Project Dropship, and a few "Unnamed projects"

yet they wanna keep FFXIII-2 :|? that sucks

should not be merge from the beginning

Spirit Within killed SquareSoft

and Enix buried them together

I was no fan of XIII but I have to admit that XIII-2 looks to improve upon what I didn't like in XIII.

It looks better than X-2 at any rate.

But on top of the games that they cancelled they also delayed several. (Like Deus Ex... one more week to go!)

Unfortunately, Square will never be Squaresoft again, neither in name nor in what they produce. They've lost too many key people from that era. The question now is can they grow into something similar to what they once were.

Though SE, atleast outwardly, has been showing signs of progress and a desire to want to correct their archaic business practices. Which gives me hope. We'll have to wait and see if they make good on those promises.

If this is true I'm going to miss the current SE logo, I always liked it. I hope they put as much effort into the new one :P

Over time, the edges of this so-called SQUARE have become worn around the edges with name change after name change that even Namingway has no longer become excited with making a new name. The SQUARE has become a circle now with its neverending remakes. I understand the profit, but it leaves people without time to make something of quality.

But I digress, Keeping it simple with SQUARE will be easier on the paperwork for its employee's all over the planet.

They should have never added Enix in the first place >.>. After they joined forces, the games started to be come less... Intimate.... Well they started to suck more. FF7 and prior were all awesome. After that, not as awesome, but still good. Same goes for the rest of the games they created/published. I don't think going back to being squaresoft is going to do much now tho. They've already been tainted.

I mean, Enix games by themselves were great, and Squaresoft games by themselves were great, but together.. not so good.

Are you going to drop Enix from your brand name and re brand just as "Square"

Also For people who do not know what Square Enix Makes... They produced a list lol.





Why not, Go ahead an like this post if you think this is a good idea for Square. I think it is.

I'm down for them to change back to Squaresoft

[Teknoman]

Actually if they go back to just being Square, thats kinda back to basics. Went from Square, to Squaresoft, to something with EA or Eidos, to Square Enix I think.

"A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet," or something, right? The games have nothing to do with the name they're produced under but rather by the team which creates the game. The original team behind the old games is not working on the new games - they've added new members while others have been removed.

Whether they're called Squaresoft, Square, Square-Enix, or Hippoplotimaritimus they're still going to make the same games that their teams come up with.

I just hope they bring in some good people on the future games to hopefully counteract the downward slope of game quality.

I think they should just be called Enix, considering Dragon Quest games seem to be the only ones worth buying.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh!
