Surprised by all the negative nancies in here (tho maybe I shouldn't be?). Square is doing great. They've been one of the strongest publishers in the industry over the past few years. Theatrhythm 2, FF Explorers, Life is Strange, Dragon Quest Heroes/Builders, Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, I Am Setsuna, Turing Test, Deus Ex 4, NieR: Automata, Bravely Second, A Realm Reborn, and yes FFXV. Sorry if some of these games aren't 10/10 games, but that doesn't mean they're bad. The elitist mindset needs to die. Try to be objective, my dudes.
And that list doesn't even count the cool remakes like the various Kingdom Hearts, FFXII, upcoming Secret of Mana, etc.
Sure there are some "bad" games like Star Ocean, Murdered Soul Suspect, etc, but that just comes w/ the territory of being a major publisher.
My only real quarrels w/ Square recently have been the lack of 3DS games in the past couple years and NieR: Automata not being patched on PC. But I'm not gonna sh*t on Square just for some minor quibbles. Their games are good and they make plenty of them. Deal w/ it.
Not really outsourced...they own the companies that make those games and whom originally owned the IPs, anyway.Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno
