Square Enix: FINAL FANTASY XIV "Greatly Damaged" The Brand

A post on Japanese site Sponichi Annex translated by Andriasang quotes Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada on the impact of the disasterous launch of FINAL FANTASY XIV, as he says the "The Final Fantasy brand has been greatly damaged," by the MMORPG. He says their efforts at rectifying this continue: "We'll continue with our reform work, which basically amounts to fully redoing the game, and hope to revive the FFXIV that should have been released." Thanks VG247.

A lot of the subcontracted FF remakes did very well on the portable platforms surprisingly. Japan eats up those dumb little Chocobo Dungeons type titles too. Ironically its mostly the stuff that Square has done themselves that has been fucking terrible, although huge parts of FF14 were subcontracted out too.

13 was ridiculously extravagant in terms of visual assets but had very little actual gameplay, it makes you wonder what the hell they did with their massive budget and all that time. I didn't love FFX but at least there was some gameplay underneath the awkward dialogue and pretty CGI.
