[QUOTE="Chris-Hansen"][QUOTE="Yellow_Rose"][QUOTE="Chris-Hansen"][QUOTE="Yellow_Rose"] [QUOTE="Chris-Hansen"][QUOTE="kindredmachine"]... and you guys did know that there are more JRPGs in development right now for the 360 than for the PS3 right?;)Ultimas_Blade
by third party ? ;) yeah sony doesnt have to pay people to make the games MS is paying mistwalker and others to make them.So do care to explain White Knight Story being published by Sony?
so you are saying sony pays for more games than MS does ? yeah i didnt think so ;)
Last time I checked neither Eternal Sonata, Enchanted Arms, nor Infinite Undiscovery are or were bankrolled by MS.
By the end of this year, the 360 will have 4 JRPG's while the PS3 will only have 2 ( with one of those already on the 360 and the other being bankrolled by Sony) ;)
enchanted arms came on ps3 didnt it ? and how do we know those other games arent being paid for somehow ? do you honestly thing japanese devs are making JRPG for 360 which is doing worse than xbox1 in japan because they feel like it ? use logic. and we dont know what other JRPG are coming for ps3 in japan only that we havent heard of in the western world.How do we know anything then? That's shots in the dark.
Do you think the Japanese are so racist/nationalist that they would avoid a business opportunity? It is a business that is all about money.
Also, we do know what JP has coming to the PS3, thanks to something called the INTERNET.
[QUOTE="Ultimas_Blade"]Where is your proof and facts? Your post is thin and easily disproven. And why would Square do the absorbing if it was their near death that was forcing the merger?Chris-Hansen
it was a figure of speech buddy, they merged obviously. enix outsourced their games to other studios and square did everything in house, the perfect marriage. and square lost 16 billion yen because of the failed square movie studio and sony shot about 16 billion into square after that and obviously square needed to earn some cash and rise their stocks up. its common sense buddy, the movie is a big flop, he guy gets fired and they merge with enix to increase profits i dont get what you are arguing about honestly ?- The movie debuted in 2001, he left Square in 2004.
- He was't fired and actually when he left Square's stock dipped. Proof of how important he was.
- It was an eventuality that the two would were, the movie just made it happen sooner.
- Sony filled the abyss that was their debt, so why would they need to merge with Enix? Merging with Enix had nothing to do with Sakaguchi except for the fact they needed the added talent since they lost a mastermind. Oh and FYI Enix titles are still developed by other studios outside of Square Enix (most recent example being Star Ocean 4 by tri-ACE).
It is important to know the facts before you post. And I'm not arguing about anything, I'm informing you that Sakaguchi is a great talent and not some douche that almost shut down Square.
he did almost shut down square why do you think the demoted him ? you dont think they had to make sure sony got their money's worth somehow honestly ? you dont think when the original creator leaves the company the stock wont take a dip ? honestly you say all those things like it is fact and tel me i have no proof when you have none and are just pulling things out of no where. you say they would merge eventually but where is the proof ? there were no talks before the movie flopped or anything, he put them in the whole, they demoted him(which is major disrespect in *** culture and is almost worse than being fired), so he left. you act like he made all those games by himself and there wasnt a gigantic team behind him.
"Square was merged into Enix (known for the Dragon Quest series), another Japanese video game producer, in 2002 so as to curb development costs and become more competitive as a result of Square's major financial loss with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. In April of 2003, the merger was completed, forming the new company, Square Enix."
the movie flopped, he was made to feel unwelcome and was given the boot, they had to merge because of him draining money into the failure. you think the man who was basically top dog and got demoted was happy about that ? and when given the chance to head his own company again he wouldnt take it ? 16 billion yen down the hole and it was basically his fault, just because sony drops in 15 billion that makes it ok ?
"A long time proponent of bringing together the story-telling vehicle of film and the interactive elements of games, Sakaguchi took the leap from games to film when he made his debut as film director in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, an animated motion picture based on his world-famous Final Fantasy series. However, the movie was the second-biggest animated box office bomb in cinema history, losing over $120 million dollars and leading to the closure of Square Pictures."
"Sakaguchi voluntarily stepped down from his post as an executive vice president at Square. This event also reduced Square's financial capital. Square then merged with their rival, the Enix Corporation, which led straight into the present day Square Enix in 2003. Sakaguchi then resigned his position at Square, and founded Mistwalker with the financial backing of Microsoft Game Studios."
"voluntarily stepped down" is a nice way of saying my bosses demoted me and told me to do step down or be humiliated even furthur by airing out the laundry in public.
"In 2001, he founded Mistwalker, which began operation three years later in 2004. In February 2005, it was announced that Mistwalker would be working with Microsoft Game Studios to produce two computer role-playing games for the Xbox 360. Still, his company remains independent to console exclusitivity. Apart from Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, Sakaguchi is also producing ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat for Nintendo DS."
seriously know the facts before you post :lol:i dont need to post anymore you get the point...
