Squenix: Final Fantasy XIII, marks and end of an era!

The Final Fantasy series has been a constant in gaming since the days of the NES. With the hype surrounding the Western release of the latest numbered entry, Final Fantasy XIII, you might think that Square Enix is secretly preparing yet another traditional sequel. Not so fast. According to Square Enix President and CEO Yoichi Wada, he doesn't think that the relatively safe move of offering more of the same is the best call.

"I believe Final Fantasy XIII is going be something special, and that it’s going to be well received by the audience," Wada told Edge Online in an interview. "But whether we are going to continue to internally create this type of game remains to be seen, because I actually feel that the team that was involved with Final Fantasy XIII should next move on to create and generate some ‘next generation’ forms of play. Internally and externally I feel there’s an expectation of Square Enix to offer something new, and I really think that the Final Fantasy team could create something completely different, but at the moment they’re strictly catering to the particular audience they have now."

Following up, he says that the company may have relied too heavily on its most well-known brands. "We don’t want to be seen as the company that only has Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest, it’s true, but we would like to maintain the prospective of the audience thinking when they hear the words Square Enix that they would only think of high-quality games."

Those are some surprisingly bold words coming from the head of a company that comfortably churns out reliably decent RPGs for a sizable fanbase. Could these "next generation" forms of play refer to an entirely new way of looking at the RPG genre, or is he more interested in having its internal development focus on entirely different genres? Is Wada refering to Sony's upcoming motion controller or Microsoft's Project Natal?

What do you think? Are you happy with Square Enix's output? Would you rather see them work on completely new concepts and ideas? Do you think their design expertise extends beyond RPGs?

He doesn't want his company to be known as "the company that only has Final fantasy" He wants to make different titles but that doesn't mean FF should end.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
