Square Enix is either going to make good games or its not. They need to roll out Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 before the end of 2012. After this, they should assign part of the Final Fantasy XIII team to remake Final Fantasy VII while the rest consider how to make a good FInal Fantasy XV. Also, why have they not released every psone title they have on PSN? Final Fantasy VII on PSone Classics was the PSN best selling game ever!! They need to roll out the classic FF's (name V and VI) along with some of their Dragon Quest games. If they wanted easy money, they should release Final Fantasy III on PSP

Its amazing to me how a company like Square-Enix, a junction of some of the greatest gaming companies ever can find itself in the situation it is now in. As a combo of Eidos, Square, Enix, along with smaller subsidiaries, they have experience with almost every major game console and almost every genre of game. If you asked me two years ago, I would have told you that they had developing and marketing down. I think the some of their problems can ultimatly be traced back to their development process and business model.

I read an interesting article somewhere that asked "How long does it take to make a good game?" This is a highly valid quetion. Since Final Fantasy X, development rates have become staggeringly long. Final Fantasy XII still holds the world record!! They say they are going to speed them up and I believe them, but I dont even think that iswhat their problem is. Square's biggest issue in my mind, is branching out each franshise further than where it could naturally go. Final Fantasy is one of the biggest gaming names EVER. Every game in the mains eries sells a boatload of copies in Japan, Northa America, and even Europe. Their issue is spanding far too much time and money in spin-offs and nameless RPG's.

Right now, the projects fans demand the most the following:

1) Final Fantasy VII remake (PS3)

2) Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3)

3) Kingdom Hearts III (PS3)

4) Final Fantasy V and VI remake (3DS/PSP/NGP)

If Square had stuck with its most profitable business model from 1997-2002, we would likely have seen all of these projects by now. Yet for some reason, Square-Enix keeps handing us what we dont want. First, it made a Final Fantasy mocie that was not even relted to the franchise. Then, althoug it did produce a decent MMO (FFXI), before anyone else is ready, they throw out Final Fantasy XIV, the worst recieved MMO in history. The Produce the Last Remnant, a time and money sink, End of Eternity, time and money sink, and finally, the give us The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Although I greatly enjoyed Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus was completely unnecesary!! Even Advent Children, we just didnt even really want it.

In any entertainment business, the most important lesson anyone learns is to give the audience/buyer what they want. Square-Enix is entirely capable of giving their fans everything they want yet for some reason, they dont. The question of why boggles my mind and Im curious if any of you can have an answer 4 it.

What do you think? Why is Square-Enix being unreasonable?
