He's pretty much ruining the company in all honesty. He's forcing western influence on the company , and he's one greedy #*$(#^) :P. I mean he recieved death threats for heaven sakes for lying.

People point their fingers at Wada for the poor reviews of Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy 13.

What do you think SW? Should Yoichi Wada get kicked out of Square Enix before he brings down the Giant of Japan?

He's the Bobby Kotick of Japan as far as I'm concerned.

He's a lawyer and a businessman, not a game designer... if Square's games disappoint fans, that's someone elses problem... if they disappoint shareholders, that's Wada's problem...

YES INDEED. . . HE's a terrible President. . I know a lot of co workers are hurting. . If Final Fantasy Versus XIII fails, I wouldn't be pleased to the point it's over for me when it comes to being an SE fan... well tbh Im a Squaresoft fan lol

Who is Wada?

He's the tool that fell for Microsoft's FUD campaign, "PS3 is doomed! move all your JRPG's to the new king of consoles in Japan, the almighty 360. It will outsell PS3 several times over!"

And so he made Star Ocean 4 a 360 exclusive for a year and multicrapformed Final Fantasy XIII in the hopes of more sales to name a couple of his blunders:?

I never knew who this Wada guy was until this thread.. but I'm actually very interested in some of Square Enix's upcoming games: Hitman: Absolution, FFVersus13, Deus Ex: HR.

He may not have managed the company well, but Square's biggest problems are coming from their creative teams.

I don't know about "we", but I don't think Wada shouldn't be president of SE.

But that's because I personally believe a president of a game company should of at least be a game designer.

FF12 was criminally underrated, it was one of the best FF games imo.

Just the first 5 hours of it was boring.

Wada was the one who had conflicts with Matsuno I believe, and that's why he left FF12 unfinished.

Square Enix have a lot of talent, they just don't seem to know how to implement it properly.

Rumors surrounding FFXII are full of fanboy wet dreams (such as Basch somehow being the main character) and Matsuno worship. The only reliable information I've heard regarding FFXII is that Matsuno just couldn't handle the pressure, and the stress forced him to quit.

Wow, the immaturity of fanboys sending death threats to an innocent man. I do agree that Wada needs to step down, but I wouldn't threaten his life for it.

This. Honestly, the death threats are much more disconcerting than what Wada could ever do to the company.

Chains, Leather, spunky teenagers as the heroes and anyone above 21 is either a side kick or the villian...nah he brought nothing to the series except failure in my opinion.

But they became famous characters and are really well known.

One of the problems with SE lies with Toriyama; his stories hasn't been well-received and for good reasons. I have very low expectations for FFXIII-2, story-wise.

Yeah, I'm not understanding that either.

Nomura does all the lead character designs, made Kingdom Hearts, directed Advent Children(love it or hate it), and is making Versus which judging by the last trailer looks awesome:D

Wada on the other hand seems to make all his decisions from a perspective of "what will make us the most money today regardless of what happens to our reputation and the long term success of our company?", what a tool:(

I wonder gamers who do not own stock in Square Enix and are not even Japanese or their culture can do that.

I don't know if that will solve the problem, but honestly something needs to change at Square Enix, and soon. I fear for them a little bit. Especially after telling reviewers to wait a little while before reviewing the game? Something fishy is going on there.

This is what people should be focusing on.
