Like I said, I literally haven't given a trout about these titles since both of them have been like a decade in the making. You don't get two bites at my money. You deliver on your promises or you disappoint me. Square Enix has chosen the latter. I didn't buy XIII-2 or XIII-3 and I will likely not purchase either of these titles when/if they are released. This from someone who began to purchase every single game that carried the Square name he could find because I had loved their work. As I've said in a published article, Square Enix needs to start respecting its fans if it wants anything from us, particularly our money. If Nomura wants to stake the future of the company on two releases and then have them delayed by having a single team working on perhaps the two biggest titles they've put together, that's not my business. I haven't seen any interviews. I don't care much for Square Enix and that is a conscious choice.
EDIT: it also makes absolutely no sense to be advertising one game that is apparently two-to-three years away from release at minimum while being, once again, tight lipped on the primary game. The Kingdom Hearts train has already slowed way the smurf down, but by delaying KHIII's release until way after their nostalgia trips 1.5 and 2.5, Square Enix is basically asking us not to give a trout. Please be excited my ass. If XV is the focus, then either release it or spruik it. I don't care one way or the other but I think the smurfing marketing department needs to be fired and all of the developers given mandatory PR training so they can stop being complete morons and saying things they probably shouldn't.
