Hopes for Square-Enix in 2016

[Wolf Kanno]

So what are you hoping to see from SE in the year 2016? Particular game announcements? Better track record for game development? Continue to be more open with fans? Some surprise IP you want to see? What are your hopes for our favorite game company?

Better track record for game development would be a nice start.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

That FFXV doesn't suck.

FFXIV 4.0 Expansion Announcement.

[Fynn]

FFXV is out.
FFXVI is announced and it's almost ready and it's a Hiroyuki Ito game.
Matsuno is making a new Ivalice game.
Kingdom Hearts piano collection 3 please?
The entire SaGa series gets 3DS remakes, ESPECIALLY the Romancing SaGa games, making this the first time they see a Western release (aside from 1).
FFXII HD ON PS4 AND VITA (and maybe Steam too) FOR CRYING OUT LOUUUD!!!!

Fynn's list looks good. Though I don't really care about the piano collection. Also I'd like to see a firm release date for KH3.

I'd also like to see a change to company philosophy to stop building games as a 'sum of its parts'. It feels like FFs XIII-XV have been a checklist where this item or that item gets checked off a list and bits and pieces are released to fans for feedback to be incrementally changed, rather than creating a game and narrative as a whole where it all just flows together and releasing it, as a whole, to the fans. I feel like there is no more vision at the company when it comes to compelling RPGs and instead they are relying on formulas and subcommittees to develop all the content. I guess it comes down to the people at the top and if they don't have that vision they would have to be replaced or there's no hope.
