I've been hearing the games press hating on Square Enix a lot recently, as a publisher and developer. While I understand that SE's in-house development has been a little rocky as of late, I still think they're doing interesting and relevant things. For example, KH3D and Theatrhythm ate up the charts; Bravely Default looks gorgeous; and TWEWY for iOS has piqued mass-market interest in the series and hinted at a sequel. However, the games press and a lot of game forums (like NeoGAF, etc.) always look to the negatives: Versus XIII still in absentia; bawwwing that the TWEWY countdown was only an iOS port; hating on Lightning Returns already. As a publisher, SE put out Deus Ex last year (hugely successful) and Sleeping Dogs this year (critically acclaimed). Tomb Raider looks gorgeous as well. So my question is: is Square Enix on a downturn or upswing right now? I, personally, am excited about a lot of the stuff they've done recently or have upcoming. On the other hand, there's this constant doom-and-gloom vibe I get from hearing about SE on forums, financially and as developers.
