I just can't get enough of complaining about Square...

I'll try to keep this short.

When is Square going to stop screwing around, experimenting, and just release some solid games? If you put the work they went into the products made to revisit FFVII, for example - they could have just made a FFVII sequel (ON A CONSOLE) instead of wasting resources on movies, PSP games, spin-off Action-RPG (Dirge of Cerabus, which didn't do well) and the like. Are they oblivious to the fact that they are a game company? Why are they making movies and teasing us with hopes that we can one day dig into the materia system?

The childish FFX, the unwanted FFX-2, the boring FFXVIII, the questionable FFXII, ignoring market to make FFXI and addons, the FF:Crystal Chronicles gameboy maketing scam; the mis-understood FFIX; movie flops; products nobody wants; gere games that you have no business making; the LIE that was supposed to be a sequel to Chrono Trigger but was actually a remake of another game... what is your problem, Square????

And what about FFXIII? It LOOKS like another Action-RPG - who asked for that? The data isn't in yet, but that's what it looks like. And while we will all probably play it anyway, that won't stop us from wishing that they just made another party-based game. What are they smoking up there???

Look at what happened to Dragon Quest IX. They scrapped release because they want to release games to the PS3 instead (it was originally for the PS2). Did they forget that the PS2 was still in operation in hundreds of millions of homes? Did they forget that because of the lack of new games on the PS2 that any new game would have sold like wildfire??? What is wrong with them. I knew that a Square -Enix merger was not going to go well. just look at how Suqare has fouled up it's own games - now they get to foul up Enix gallery of games too.

In FFXX Square tried to get rid of the Summons monsters - then they had the audacity to make a sequel based on one of the most hated games in the series FFX-2 - with barbie doll dresses as the main feature. Just because 5 girls in the known world play Final Fantasy doesn't mean you turn your back on the 80 million young males that make up your core audience! And how much did this fiasco cost you, Square... how much return did you make on THAT investment??? The marketing department is permanently out to lunch.

It's becoming tiresome to wait for Square to "wake up" and start making games we want to play. There are open wallets waiting for a TRUE sequel to Chrono Trigger, for a REAL console version Final Fantasy; for a quality and respectful remake / upgrade title of... well just about every Final Fantasy title that you have decided to cheaply "port" to the PS2. We even welcome additions, remakes, sequels to games like Illusion of Gaia - but you guys just keep doing "whatever Square wants to do" and ignoring your market desires completely.

One good move you did was to harness Enix. Enix has been making the kinds of games we want for years - but not releasing them abroad. As soon as they announced thier intention to start exporting thier games you were smart enough to "merge with them" - and now we see you degenerating Enix titlles too. Evidently you want to be the king of crappy games, and are making efforts to shut down anyone who poses a quality threat to your cause. So for now you can continue to release dribble without fear of cometition. Where is Breath of Fire 6 when you really need it???

Hey I said I'll TRY to keep it short - that wasn't a promise!

Ok, Square-Enix. you don't have many chances left. I swear if you don't get your act together I'll just stick to my PC RPG's until the smelling salts take effect. I can play Morrowind, Oblivion, Two Worlds, The Witcher, Stalker, even Gothic FOREVER. I still am not finished with Morrowind! You don't have the corner you think you have - and your not DEFINING the genre, your just introducing crappy games into it and making people look elsewhere for entertainment. Go ahead - release FFXIII as an ACTION- RPG and see what happens. it's a move you will live to regret.

I'm starting to hear a sucking sound - in the shape of a square...
