You make a good argument. Regardless of platform, Square hasn't shown us much from its high profile franchises. They are very quickly becoming a niche company which is totally insane considering they put out all the Final Fantasy games. Their original IPs aren't being marketed very well but I guess a lot of that could be because they're not very good. The company really seems to be in need of a re-focusing of priorites something like what EA did this year.

They need a FF7 remake to rake in some heavy cash.

Square-Enix hasn't made a good game since it was just ENIX.
Dragon Warrior 3 was the shit.

God, I hope they don't do this.

If there's one thing I hate more than adaptations it's remakes...

But I agree that they have got to stop their remakes... it was fun for a while, but if they put half the effort they did in FF 4 remake in a new Ip, they wouldn't have as nearly as many flaws."

How could you hate a remake of FF7...?

I want FF VII and Chrono Trigger on the PSN!

...anything they have done lately has been poor besides Crisis Core and The World Ends With You; both for portables. Hopefully FFXIII will be EPIC.

this doesnt surprise me at all, level 5 and atlus make better rpg's these days.

Squeenix is an IDIOT for making The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery, for 360 or not, they could've made a MUCH better game than that crap.

the issue is that thier simply not putting enough time and polish into those games in the case of the last remnant and infinate undiscovery.

Dragon Quest X will eliminate all money problems they have.

Square's failings and problems are multiple and do not seem to stem from a single issue. Whether it was their quick adoption of a western game engine with little understanding on how to utilize it effectively, to their reliance on ports and remakes from Matrix, (The actual guys who made FFIII/FFIV DS.) to a lack of simple time and polish regarding their products Square's recent problems are entirely their own.

It also doesn't help that I feel they treat their fan-base with a level of arrogance and out right confusion that reminds me of how a game company would operate ten years ago. Being a long time Square fan, their recent decisions/practices have disturbed me.

It will be interesting to see if their profits will jump back up with DQIX.

Maybe if they stopped focusing on making DS games and re-makes of classics for the DS... wait, they sell alright. nvm then :O

No. It just will. It will sell a million copies on launch day in Japan."

Well it's another year without Final Fantasy 13, so it is expected.

 I'm just waiting for when FF13 comes out on 360 and PS3, booyah its gonna sell lot hotcakes and boost square enix sales to a new level.

I am really worried for FF13, cos all of square enix "next-gen" games have been pretty much crap. I think the people at square are getting arrogant, because they are the biggest RPG maker in the world, i really hope the leap to "next-gen" for FF would be as smooth and great as MGS's.

I won't be sorry for them, they sure have taken Microsoft's dirty money and betrayed Sony, let's see : FFXIII - maybe 500 million $, Last remnant, Infinite undiscovery, Star ocean - 250M each, that's a total of 1.2 billion but of course these numbers won't appear anywhere
