Why is Square a dying company?

That sounds like an xivs0ib0i urinalysis headcanon
Wyatt Ortiz
ironically a lot of games I'm looking forward to are SE titles
Zachary Ward
For me, it's Harvestella.
Jack Howard

>save the company from the brink of financial ruin
>don't give any money back to improve/fix issues that are longstanding
>steal all the profits of to fund oldboys stupid projects that just fail anyways
YoshiP should leave and finally let Square die the death they deserve for making that shitty movie.
Austin Allen
they haven't made a good game since fucking 1995 for starters
Kevin Russell
Probably because they won't take their heads out of their asses. They're a company who has almost consistently refused to listen to their audience even when it would greatly benefit them.
Jason Smith
based
Ryder Campbell
Stuck in the old ways then tried to adapt. but did it too late so they had to rush everything
Wyatt Flores
the philosophy that made final fantasy great 'change for the sake of change' doesn't work as a business model for an entire corporation.
if it weren't for CBU3 squeenix would probably be the next lamb to slaughter for larger publishers
Andrew Miller
They make bad games & have for decades.
Aaron Cruz
global audience that dont buy their products instead of focusing on their target demographic
Joshua Price
That would include this one.

>no tactics remaster
it's over

in the last 10 years we've had:
>Bravely Default, Second and II
>FFXIV
>Drakengard 3
>FF Theatrhythm Curtain Call
>World of Final Fantasy
>Nier Tomato
>Dragon Quest 11
>Octopath and Triangle Strategy
>TWEWY 2
>Kingdom Hearts III (needs the DLC BADLY but the data fights are fantastic)
>Strangers of Paradise
so the issue is is that their B and C listers are doing better work than their A listers

XIV is their biggest game and they still don't fucking improve it by adding actual content to the game.
It's like they don't give a fuck.
Golden saucer could have actual gambling, it's a FUCKING CASINO.
Their dumb as fuck laws are no excuse they can get around it easily and add poker, black jack, and slots to the fucking place.
Island sanctuary will suck dick too just watch.
SE always disappoints.

Problem is that Square went all in with big money sinks that didn't work outside FFXIV (and even that took a while). Avengers lost money, GotG underperformed because of the former's bad reputation, Babylon's Fall fell on its face, and all their Western efforts didn't really amount to anything major. Even Tomb Raider, while doing okay, still didn't deliver the kind of numbers SE to fully justify its budget.
Their inconsistent support of the Switch (until the last 12 months), when that's the system to make the simplest and most consistent sales on back in Japan hasn't helped. FF Pixel Remasters on Nintendo is such easy money and that SE still hasn't done that demonstrates the level of retardation at work here.

>gambling
>cuts off the EU and China
>immediately has the game's rating boosted to 'adult needed to buy this' in US and JP
i'd fucking love poker tables but its not gonna happen. ever
Aiden Ramirez
there's a lot of schizos who think everything under the sun is the cause. but the real non schizo answer is that big games they put a lot of money into like avengers underperformed, and they probably set sales goals too high for smaller games
Isaiah Baker
CBU1 is pure cancer. They have to cut it out of their body or they're going to die.
Blake Sanders
HAVE FAITH, BROTHER!
James Anderson
after the garbage 7 'remake' i'd rather them not touch their old games ever again
Parker Cook
i thought forspoken already released and it was dog?
