If I Wrote Square-Enix, I'd Suggest..

[Shinra Executive]

-The Final Fantasy Online games should not have a number in the series. They should be FFO and FFO II, not XI and XIV.

-FFXIII should have been simply labeled as a trilogy from the start, named XIII, XIII-2, and XIII-3.
-Where is the remake of FFVII!? Why won't you do it Square-Enix, WHY!!

-I demand that FFXV goes back to the past, and gives futurism a break. With classes, levels, and stuff.

-Put some realism in the battle visuals. I want to see slashes on mortal enemies and malfunctions in mechanical ones. Being able to see the armor along with the weapons would be nice to.

-Would the real Sakaguchi please stand up? please stand up, please stand up

-Enix, go make another Star Ocean and let Square do their thing, please. *thank you*

 

[The Witch]

- Remake VII in better graphics WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ORIGINAL STORY
- BRING AERITH BACK
- Remake VI and VIII completely.

and the most important one...
- SHOW CLOUD SHIRTLESS

That's it for me.

 

[Steve-O]

I have one single request.... and that is to......

BRING OUT FFX HD AND VERSUS 13 DAM IT

 

[sinfonietta]

BRING OUT FFX HD AND VERSUS 13 DAM IT

This!
+ Give some official word about FF Type-0.

I'm mostly happy with what they're doing - I just want them to keep the fans in the loop a little more. I'm probably just too used to being babied by more needy/pushy companies like EA though. ^^;

 

[Linnaete]

*Enix barely developed anything of their own and did more outsourcing work than anything else. And Square Enix only published the Star Ocean games. Credit for making the games (and for fucking Edge Maverick..) goes to Tri-Ace.

Dear Square-Enix:

+ Enough with the fucking deification of Lightning. You guys, especially Toriyama - and I am so sorry to be crude with my language here, but you can tell how irritated I am - have essentially been masturbating over her and it's EMBARRASSING. It doesn't do your remaining few fans any justice. It doesn't do yourself any justice and it certainly does no justice to the franchise. It's SAD and HUMILIATING for anyone to stand up on stage and poetically describe her as being everything that is beautiful, strong and graceful under the fucking sun. She pales in comparison to other characters with how pathetically shallow and apathetic she is, and her only real quality is that she seems to be the most masculine FF woman yet.

+ I hope you can actually make something for next-gen by - oh I don't know - reorganising your company from the top-down to ensure maximum efficiency? You could BARELY handle this generation, what are your chances for next-gen? I can praise you however, for the evidence that you seemed to have learnt from the Crystal Tools disaster from earlier and have come up with a somewhat decent new next-gen engine to work with. Now just make a decent game out of Agni's, while remembering that wallpaper graphics a good game does not make.

+ Please relegate people like Toriyama to your mobile phone and social games division. This man is an embarrassment, has done nothing positive in my opinion, and is just generally someone who you can surely spare in favour of someone else with talent at writing and producing. And for being so nonchalant about the company's Japanese half's failings lately, any other company would have started a mutiny against Wada by now.

+ Why not take the risk of releasing Type-0 in the west in some shape or form? You seem to be making an EVEN BIGGER GAMBLE with Lightning Returns, a game that relatively few people have asked for, whereas Type-0 has largely produced far more optimism. Why not take that initiative to support the Vita? Because barely anyone else and Sony is getting crapped on for this, though Sony's being of little help either.

+ Why the hesitancy with your 3DS Dragon Quest games and Bravely? The 3DS is hardly going to be subject to much PIRACY as the PSP and DS anyway...

+ Good luck with your FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. Because you will need it after the last fundamental cock-up that I really cannot believe it was greenlit as it was. Oh, and can we have Yosh-P be at the driving and creative seat of a future offline FF title, please? That man oozes much potential that I would hate to see it restricted to an MMO that may struggle to anything more than niche.

+ If only you can convince Yasumi Matsuno that he can afford significant creative freedom in the company and buy him back from Level-5 after his temporary retirement so I can see another Ivalice game, pl0x.

+ Just announce that Versus has been cancelled already, and that FFX HD was a joke as it was never going to happen anyway. Instead, you will announce a FFXII HD of the INTERNATIONAL ZODIAC JOB EDITION. I have humbly spoken.

Yours faithfully,

Someone who knows what she is talking about

- Whatever you have said or done to Nobuo Uematsu, apologise. Since 2006 when he did the intro theme for XII, you have somehow seen him as an unnecessary luxury. It's odd, there have been suggestions of Uematsu's involvement in several title's since then (XIII and XIV) but both times it ended up with it ended up with a Mr Hamauzu. Even if he has said, "Look, I just don't want to do it any more." Do everything in your power to change his mind. This guy is a keystone to the FF series.

- Listen to the demand of your fans. Design around demand, stop forcing us to get used to your new breeds in the series.

- Stop. Making. (insert title here) -2's.

- Time after time you have said that there just isn't the time to make a VII, VIII, IX - esque title because of the work towns and NPC's would take. This is a disgraceful attitude to have. I have an idea - stop churning out pointless generic title's with no thought or feeling behind them and TAKE THE TIME TO PUT SOME ACTUAL EFFORT IN! Trust me, we won't miss you while you're gone.

- Stop reading this letter. You're wasting time and could be actioning something that I've mentioned above

 

[Starships]

Stella basically already said everything.

Stop fan-whoring over Lightning. She's not even that great. Plain at best. And release Type- 0 and Bravery Default over here. Stop being so damn xenophobic towards us. I know way back in 92 SquareSoft didn't release FF V to the west because " It's to hard for the Western audience "; but there's no excuses for today and today's time.

Remake FF VI and FF V for the 3 DS and FF VII for the PS 4 and X-BOX 740.

Cancel Lightning returns and focus on KH 3 and Versus

You know Shrina Inc ? You're basically them now SE. Galbadia, The Empire, Shrina Inc. Expect this President Shrina likes to flap over porno graphic pictures of Lightning and writes Mary- Sue fan-fictions of her being the "best FF heroine evar ".

 

[The Master]

- A COMPLETE HD Remake of VII without touching ANYTHING ELSE!

-BRING US FFX HD!

-I agree, the FF online's should NOT be numbered games

-I KNOW you already did it for the PSX... BUT PLEASE do a COMPLETE HD remake of FFVI without touching anything else!

 

[Paddy McGee]

-MAKE THE VII FANS SUFFER. Don't remake the game, allow the game to retain its nostalgic value... and the laws of gravity must be upheld. Do not show Clouds hair in cgi, do not allow fans to appreciate the death of a certain character in 1080p+ HD graphics. The bouncing breasts of Tifa are optional.

-Focus on a numbered game to revive your company. Versus seems to be something of a "Jewish Messiah" on the horizon in SQE's mind, but make us want XV instead. Bring the franchise back to the MAIN series. Make us want the teenage FF's, instead of the usual reaction to angsty teens. You want us to like the future? GIVE US A FUCKING REASON.

-Keep your non-Final Fantasy divisions working as they seem to be. Tomb Raider is looking good, Deus Ex was good, Hitman looks brilliant(Although, I have yet to play it) and Sleeping Dogs has- from word of personal friends- seemed to actually be decent.

-Please release games like Type-0, in all of its "character stereotyping" glory. It was one of the main reasons why I wanted Fabula Nova Chrystallis to succeed(Back in the day when this was Agito). We aren't horrible monsters here in the western world. We enjoy your games when they deserve to be enjoyed, many of us enjoy your bodacious anime babes and some even enjoy your language in all its complexity.

With my signoff, I have one more thing to add: Keep at it. If you can succeed, if you can actually make it work, your fans may return.

 

[Kuja9001]

1. Don't listen to the whiny ass fanbase

2. Stop with the KH filler games

3. Localize Type-0

4. Release Ultimanias in english

5. DON'T LISTEN TO THE WHINY ASS FANBASE.

 

[Starships]

-MAKE THE VII FANS SUFFER. Don't remake the game.

Not all the FF VII fans want a remake. In fact a remake of FF VII is the last thing I want personally. Knowing SE these days they'll mess up. Graphics don't make everything. Plus chibi blocky lego Cloud is cute.

 

[Shaissa]

- Stop with god damn remakes
- dont announce a bunch of games and never release them (versus)
- get phase-0 localized
- Kingdom Hearts III on a platform please
- stop with your web browsing, ISO, Phone game stuff!
- A true sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics

 

[Squid]

If I wrote to Square-Enix I would suggest that:

- They give up already.

 

[The Welsh Paddy]

I remember when I was only ten, I sent them a letter, except I didn't stamp the envelope and all I wrote as the address was Squaresoft UK HQ. How stupid was I?

Should I write to them now, however, I would simply tell them to make something completely new or gtfo.

 

[Big Casino]

I would say

Spiffy job chaps. Your doing some triumphant work over there.

Just kiddin yer games have bin a wee bit pish an am nae happy wee fit yer pittin oot. Get ah this sorted cuz am nae buyin yer games onymare.

 

[Climhazzard]

1. Stop pandering to Toriyama and his constant infatuation with RAITORINGU. Relieve Wada of his duties as his outlook for the series is looking grim indeed.

2. Stop making XIII games. They are abysmal and go against the FF ethos for me. I don't ever wish to hear rap music in a Final Fantasy game again either. I mean it.

3. Bring Sakaguchi and all former Square(soft) employees back to their rightful places so we can enjoy what real Final Fantasy games are supposed to be like once more.

4. Release Versus XIII at the end of next year. I swear if you announce something within that time-frame which will dent it's release schedule.. you've done it twice now with XIII. Remember Fabula Nova Crystallis?

- ps, How about KH2 Final Mix HD in PAL region? By all means make a KH 2.5 HD Collection accompanied with BBS: Final Mix if you want.

Just think, if your letter would have reached them, you alone could have made all the difference

Back then I imagine the letter would have been quite complimentary!

They probably get buried in fan mail containing adoration and criticism. XIII is a lot more popular in the East then it is in the West, for example, and Japan is going to cater to itself first before dealing with the criticisms out in the West.
Since the West has moved up in the gaming world, producing the Xbox and a lot of Western titles, Japanese games are taking a bit of a backseat. Such is why Nintendo is not as prevalent as it used to be around these parts. The Playstation is a nice mediator because it has a good balance of East-West titles. Nintendo, however, is straight up Japanese whilst the Xbox is primarily USA.

I think the criticisms of the ever changing Final Fantasy series is accompanied by a bit of culture shock. Many of us are having a hard time getting down to the Japanese idea of fun since we have evolved in our unique taste in games as well.

Back then I probably would have got what I asked for, if they paid an attention. A bunch of freebies.

 

[Starships]

The Japanese love Final Fantasy XIII ? I saw a Japanese chat site and they were all like " not another fucking Final Fantasy XIII game again ". Honest.

On YouTube they weren't happy about the games either and praised FF V alot.
