Actually, it was more of a "no more stupid remake crap" ultimatum. I think it says a lot of the state of the company if you have to threaten people's jobs in order to get them to come up with an original idea. Too often these remakes are the wills of the producers and the like and not within the best interest of the gamers or the current market. Really, I think that Wada has the right idea, albeit extreme...

There we go. I knew there was something wrong with that article. It just felt like they misinterpreted his quote or something. No sane man would do that to his company... especially a company that requires imagination and creativity to thrive...

It used to be that Square/Squaresoft/Squeenix was high on my list for games to expect.

ATLUS outsold them in that area right after La Pucelle and then Disgaea handed that title to me back in 2004.

If they're only now just getting it...they've got their work cut out for them. The only two things that have me sold with SE still is anything KH and Valkyrie Profile...and that's Enix's anyways.

I don't really care if FF gets another FF. After X and, godforbid, X-2 I was pretty much done. Compilation of VII may work but that's about it for me on an already milked to death franchise which is the only real thing that you hear from Squeenix anymore.

Then a better application of this thread would be discussion of how it turned out. Granted, it isn't that really long since they said it, but still.

Looking back, it's a little ironic that out of all of SE's games released in North America during 2008, the one which won the most plaudits was The World Ends With You - an *original* IP.

Hmm.

(And no, I still haven't played it. )

My friend had TWEWY. She couldn't kill a certain piggy. It teleported away in ten seconds. D=
