I'm actually pretty on board with where Square is taking things lately. They seem to be getting back to their late 90's mentality where they use diverse teams/visions for games. The house of Final Fantasy still seems to have organization issues. But to be fair, these are some of the largest games out there, with a lot of desires to live up to.
I also think having to completely rebuild FF14 set them back a bit from the momentum they were originally planning (see: 13 was supposed to be 6 games. But VS-XIII is now just FFXV). However, I think some of their publishing ventures may have helped the company as a whole, feel a bit safer. |
Yeah, it seems like SQEX is getting its mojo back after a long time in limbo … let's just hope that this is no fluke.
From what I've seen of FF15, it looks to be a game you can buy again and be surprised about where it is going. Cops, Leviathan, over-the-top action? That doesn't sound like FF to me, and I like it because of that.
And yeah, getting Eidos was probably the best gamble SQEX made. If you look at what they've released the last few years on the consoles (minus FF13++, 14), there's not too much that isn't Eidos.
p.s.: and that is a rad, sometimes even Drag-on Dragoon-esque bgm posted up there. Almost ace! _________________
