Hey yo, Square Enix!

Spoiler

]

 

[lh032]

should be FF remake 2, cant wait.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Exclusive? I don’t know. I’m thinking it will end up timed exclusive, but we’ll see.

 

[TidusYuna]

"Final Fantasy XIII-3-2: Lightning Returns? She Was Never Gone In The First Place"

 

[remember_spinal]

Not this again. MS can buy a Japanese company if that company is willing to sell. Japan only protect Japanese companies from hostile takeovers

Doesn’t matter, any japanese company selling to microsoft would be committing financial suicide and dooming themselves to irrelevancy

 

[CitizenZ]

"Timed" Major Square Enix game in production as a Sony exclusive, reveal soon

FIFY

 

[Monokrom]

 

[TidusYuna]

Final Fantasy X-3

 

[mortal]

Maybe it's that rumored Chrono Cross remaster? Or alternatively FF VII Remake part 2.

Besides those I have no idea what it could realistically be

 

[pqueue]

if it is more FF garbage, then no loss.

But if it is an interesting franchise like Tomb Raider or Deus Ex.... that is another story

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[adamsapple]

Final Fantasy X-3

Username checks out.

 

[ethomaz]

Another one?

 

[kingfey]

Another one?

Maybe another ff remake.
So far, we have the main franchise ff16, forespoken, ff7r 2, babylons fall.

 

[BadBurger]

Final Fantasy XIII-XXX: Lightning Flicks the Bean

 

[remember_spinal]

Maybe another ff remake.
So far, we have the main franchise ff16, forespoken, ff7r 2, babylons fall.

And 14

 

[jigglet]

A Final Fantasy 13 remaster, it's a chance to right their shameful, shameful wrongs and make it a proper PS exclusive this time.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

And here I am hoping that its the sequel to Deus Ex Mankind Divided...............

 

[Katajx]

They can, IF MS shows them the bag.

Marvel avengers ate some money from them. and that game, still drying them up.

Square Enix Reportedly Lost Over $63 Million On ‘Marvel’s Avengers’

It is being reported that Square Enix has lost around $63 million on Marvel’s Avengers after selling $3 million copies of the video game.

heroichollywood.com

That was 2020.

Only thing that is keeping them alive, is ff14, and Sony exclusive deals.

What a hyperbole!

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[BlackM1st]

If they're smart they would pursue the GI money. But they're idiots, so they won't.

 

[Nankatsu]

FF VII remake part II

Yes, let's go!

 

[rolandss]

Square haven’t put out anything I really want play lately. Hopefully it’s good.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

Chrono Cross or Chrono Trigger

Spoiler: at your own risk

I hope

 

[winjer]

90% NFTs, 10% game.

 

[BaneIsPain]

FFIX remake

 

[peronmls]

Kingdom Hearts 1? Not a major game though.

 

[Danjin44]

Drakengard 4?

 

[German Hops]

 

[Belthazar]

Can't blame Square tbh, if Nintendo, Sony and Epic want to keep throwing big money at them for those deals they would be pretty dumb to not accept.

 

[Amish Prince]

90% NFTs, 10% game.

100% reason to remember the name

 

[Bwesh]

2.5D Valkyrie Profile? I wish lol.

 

[wvnative]

Kingdom Hearts 1? Not a major game though.

KH1 really doesn't need a full remake.

I think its the rumored FF9 Remake

 

[The Shepard]

FFIX remake

This and remake part 2 I reckon

 

[Ebidramon]

I don't know, Final Fantasy IX Remake just seems way too good to be true.
And after all those bullshit rumors about Metal Gear Solid Remake...

But then again, announcement of Final Fantasy VII Remake was also something no one expected, and it happened.

Maybe it could be 1:1 remake, and not reimagination.

...

It will probably be something not bad, but definitely not something most of us hope for.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

ResetERA? VGC? Yeah, hard pass on this rumor having any major credibility. Then again, I am simply done with "rumors" from "journalists/insiders" or "insiders" in general these days, unless they relate to actual new hardware.

Hardware-based ones give way less wiggle room to worm about and backtrack on possible BS claims; you usually get definitively proven right or close-to-right, or exposed as being outright wrong, since hardware decisions can't usually change willy-nilly nearly as frequently as software ones.

Firmly in the "wait for official announcement" camp for this.

Xenogears Remake?

Maybe we can get a Disc 2 that's actually a game this time and not mostly a visual novel (personally have no qualms with visual novels as a genre, it's just clear Xenogears production was cut short. Painfully short).

 

[skit_data]

Legacy of Kain?

 

[megreotsugua]

Please Square Enix, please.

 

[SentientStone]

Xenogears or Final Fantasy 8 please (yep, the goat FF).

 

[Pejo]

Please Square Enix, please.

I'm shocked that you trust modern S-E to remake that game. It can only go downhill.

 

[reksveks]

If it comes to PC, I don't give a F. I am interested to see if those games end up on the Microsoft Store like Forspoken or if that was a weird one time thing.

 

[Ebidramon]

I think it would be nice if it was Valkyrie Profile 3: Hrist...

But it won't be.

 

[megreotsugua]

I'm shocked that you trust modern S-E to remake that game. It can only go downhill.

I liked what they did with FF7R. Although I don't expect S-E to give FF9 the same budget. But yes I trust S-E to remake the game. Noone else can do it.

I think the hatred is largely two things:

- Change from old school turn based to their more action realtime battle strategy
- Story spoiler

Spoiler

The meta narrative of the storyline and the fact that they are 'revising' the story/history

- Weaker one is the fact that one game is now 3 games min

Good news imo (90% confident) is that they aren't going to do the same trick again on FF9 than they did on FF7. I am not sure on the other two possible issue, if it's a simple remaster than i think you might be alright on the other two points. If it is a full remake, you might have issues.

 

[megreotsugua]

I also don't think so. FF7 has a lore that is more expansive than FF9. That game had a lot of spin off and a movie. The original creators of the game is obviously invested in the lore and the world of FF7 and they want to flesh out the story in the remake.

FF9 is much simpler. I would be happy with a simple remake with modern graphics.

Forspoken 2: More Woken

Avengers 2: No Females Manabyte Edition.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[demigod]

I’m going with Xenogears

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Most of their AAA games are exclusives. Just buy them Jim

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Tomb Raider

Remember when MS paid for a year exclusive for that? good times.
