In the store the other day to pick up Ace Combat 6, I notice a few titles from old standby Square Enix. Pretty much every one of them is worth buying.
And so I bought all of them.
TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO!
There are like five fucking remakes in the past two years of Final Fantasy 1 alone. It's a fine game, but shit man. You can't make like, another one with an equally as simple story with a minor shift in gameplay? I mean that tactic got you all the way up to 12 sequels, so why have you become the Japanese Final Fantasy Lucasarts?
Give me a retooled Einhander, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger + Cross. Or shit, here's a fucking idea... MAKE SEQUELS TO ALL OF THEM.
Yeah, even Xenogears, cos Xenosaga is the most insulting pile of shit in the video game world.
All the company does now is remake Final Fantasy games. And not even the one people actually want (hint: it's after 6 and before 8), but just GBA and DS and PSP remakes of the first six in the series, only with like, marginally better graphics an some new monsters and weapons, to you know, force you to throw another 100 hours of your life into a 16 bit hole.
I'll admit, playing FF 4 and 6 on an airplane is the fucking jam, but mother of god, as I watch my PS3 dry up and die from a lack of any significant games, I can't help but think of how badass some new (gasp) IP from Square Enix could be.
But as far as I can tell, they fired all the guys who came up w/ Chrono, Xeno, Einhander and Tobal. So say hello to the shitfest that will be final fantasy 13 and it's 30 variations.

If you liked Xenogears then why didn't you like Xenosaga? Both games were made by the same team and both games suffered from budget cuts and time constraints in development. If square enix made a sequel to Xenogears, the game would just look really pretty but the story would be horrible unless they rehire the team that made Xenogears.
...And now 7 will be remade!
