    Default How long do we have left???

    How long do you think Squaresoft has left untill EA absorbs and assimilates them? My bet is on 2, maybe 3 consoles. Or until they run out of exciting plot lines.

    Can no one stop EA's reign of terror? I mean for heavens sake, they practically own renderware. Whats next, the government? I say the government has a few years left (just kidding).

    I'd say another flop like X-2 (don't get me wrong I liked it so much, i got 205 hours out of it), and squaresoft goes down the drain.

    Square's next ten games could be "flops" and they'd still keep going because you can usually count on people to buy anything with their name on it. It's good and bad, really.

    Actually, since their popularity is so high right now, I'd say it would take a few really 'bad' games before people start associating the new Final Fantasies with 'crap' ::gasp::

    I don't think that will happen for a long while, though. Even with games like FFX-2 (I'm not sure it really did that bad, actually.. IIRC the sales were pretty good), Square-Enix is still making some very polished, quality games.

    Compared to the sales of most Final Fantasy games, it was pretty bad.
    They did have a deal. It fell through, and now squaresoft remains one of the few fortresses of resistance against the onslaught of EA's purchase/liquidation scheme.

    Umm... ok...

    If EA ever takes over SE, you might as well kill me. I hate, I repeat, HATE EA Games! All the games they make is crap except the Sims, and that can get boring pretty easy. They'd destory the FF series, of all the games of theirs I've played, it seemed like they didn't even try, they just slaped something together and called it done. They sucked. Oh my sweet Christmas, they sucked.

    X-2 flop? What the hell are you talking about? That game did rediculously well.

    You know, I just bought LotR: The 3rd Age. It's really sweet. You should definitely check it out. It's like FFX only in Middle Earth, so no blitzball. Oh and the dialogue is a lot better.
