I feel betrayed by Square Enix

I agree with OP.

Square just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFVII Remake Trilogy for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFVII Remake Trilogy for the Switch or you can kiss your business goodbye.




Sorry, someone had to do it! 😉
Since you're a master of their culture apparently: I'm looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (that's Japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (Korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i don't want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)
 
This brings me back to when people were mad over Crash Bandicoot coming to pc and Xbox because, like you say here, is what made playstation back then.

Some people even threw tomb raider in the mix, despite the game being released on both pc and playstation at the exact same time.

The games first release was technically on Sega Saturn, in Europe.
So, technically Tomb Raider should have been seen as a Saturn game, and not a playstation game.
 
So have you guys ever felt cheated by the gaming industry?

For me, the worst case just happened. I just received news that the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy is now coming to the Nintendo Switch II. :(

FF7 is a distinctly PlayStation franchise and should never appear on any other platform.

It's just not right. FF7 made the PlayStation and the PlayStation made FF7.

I feel lost right now, but hopefully the Japanese will boycott this egregious decision by Square Enix.

Why do you care? The more people who buy it the better for the series.
 
Can never tell if these are troll posts of just legitimately delusional individuals.
 
But, by that logic, Nintendo "made" Final Fantasy and FFVII being on PlayStation was a betrayal to Nintendo.

Seriously, I remember hearing FFVII was going to be on this new console called PlayStation and not Nintendo felt a lot stranger than seeing FFVII on Xbox or Switch does today.
 
There's no way to put Rebirth on Switch2. And the 3rd part won't make it there either. Intergrade on Switch2 is basically marketing for the Playstation trilogy.

Interested in an avatar bet?

I'm very confident you're wrong.

Since you reacted to my post with the silly eye emoji but didn't reply to take me up on the bet, I'm going to take that to mean that you don't have much confidence in your prediction.
 
I know you're desperate to get rid of some of them, but they all have your name on it.

of course, you should always remember who gave it to you. just like the Oscars have "Academy Award" written on them...

otherwise the price would be meaningless.

there you go, it even fits your head!

Terrible. You couldn't come back with something better after several tries. lmao. No surprise you own all those trophies.

I am only writing simple sentences so you don't get overstimulated honey 😊

There there, now go and take your medicine, we don't want you to have another accident like the diarrhoea stain you left on page 1 now do we?

Aww, look at you still trying. lmao
 
I think it's clear that Square never anticipated the success FF7 ever had back in 1997. And how could they? The industry changed and expanded beyond what it was just a few years prior.

Games had penetrated the mainstream and everyone was well aware about the industry. PlayStation sure did have a hand at the success of FF7, but Square knew that after FF8 & FF9, FFX and even FF12, that FF7 was still different, thus they revisited it with Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core and Advent Children.

Square knows that FF7 is special but I'm not sure they know why, so they could replicate it with a new standalone title (FF17). The best they can do is share it with the world, release it in as many platforms as they can and Hobbit-fy the shit out of the PS1 Classic. I'm not complaining, Remake and Rebirth are amazing and I cannot wait for Part 3!

Your are completely right.. they dont have a fucking clue of what made FF7 special.

let's just get serious again for a moment...
not sure if you are aware of this, but, the sequels are already confirmed for Switch 2...

direct quote from the director himself: "I hope players are looking forward to the Final Fantasy VII Remake series on Switch 2"

so your are a confirmed dumbass, not just a theoretical one.
which is why I can confidently call you a dumbass, knowing that I am correct.
 
As i said before my unpopular opinion, i think consoles should have exclusives. MS their exclusives (none anymore), Sony their own, Nintendo their own and PC their own.

Why do you care about an inferior version of a game coming to a new platform years after being available on PS5 and PC?

Damn, was too late. Only OG's remember this golden post.

 
Sony Japan Studio being shut down. Nintendo turning into complete ass after the Wii.
Square Enix complete mismanagement ruing many game developments.
Capcom ditching MegaMan.
 
Hum... will you not be able to play it on the PS? I don't get it why does it mater if it goes to the Switch.
Do you own Sony shares?
