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.

Okay, so they feature dough-eyed androgynous heroes and Western stereotypes aplenty, nigh-impenetrable plots, and often maddening encounter rates, but for all that I totally loved the Final Fantasy single player games (Yes, 7 and 8 especially). The MMO ones may as well never have been made for all I care, but I'd love another FF single player game.

"The assumption that animals are without rights, and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance, is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
