    Square Enix

    Company »

    A Japanese video game company that is best known for the development of role-playing games. It is the result of a merger between two separate video game companies, Square and Enix. Its subsidiaries include Taito and Eidos.

    Sounds like Square could use a Phoenix Down

    Woof. @zombiepie brought this one to my attention.

    IGN is reporting Square's Final Fantasy XV DLC has been cut from 4 to just one, and their director has left, along with a great many staffers. Sounds like their financials aren't great either. Thoughts?

    It doesn't seem all that surprising, XV has always been a weird mess. From troubled development, to release, to intensely confusing post-release support.

    I know they have a large selection of mobile games out there. Always figured those were quite popular as well. Played FF: Record Keeper & Triple Triad for quite a while actually. And there's that isometric FF base building game that i saw a billion ads from on mobile.

    Maybe they just don't see any more value to be gained from FF15 and decided to just stop making new stuff for it?

    Edit: Here's a list of all Square's mobile offerings

    Just saw this too, it seems like they bit off more than they could chew with the XV DLC. I was waiting for the game to be totally done before starting a second playthrough, and now Tabata is just gone? I hope he goes somewhere where he can do more than clean up someone else's mess. He must be a talented game director to be able to ship a game that had such a troubled dev cycle.

    Tabata is taking over the Quiet Man Sequel/ DLC.

    ... I am legit bummed about this news. I was hoping for another chunk of content being put out for that game. While flawed in many ways (Especially at launch) I loved my time on that road trip with your Bros. Good music too.
