Square Enix president shares his views in E3 |
Ó
Yamamoto announces that Square will not be holding any press conferences this year at E3 and would instead opt for something more cost-effective since E3 has chosen to go for a tamer path this year. Instead, Square will be putting more effort into the Tokyo Game Show where they will be making some of their announcements rather than in E3. E3 will still get a big bite from the Square though, showing off their latest games like Dragon Quest, the latest in the Final Fantasy series, The War of the Lions, Front Mission and Heroes of Mana.
It was also expressed that Square is addressing the concerns of Western consumers that they have to wait longer for their games to be released in their area. Yamamoto, who recently took on roles for Square in their US and European bases, explains that they want to make the translations as best as they can. Their target aim is to release games in 5 languages to Japan, the US and Europe all at the same time. This is one of their hopes for Last Remnant, their newest game to be released.
Yamamoto comments that the PS3 is still expensive for most gamers. Square is still "watching the hardware trends closely and also the marketing strategy of the platform holders", but Yamamoto refuses to comment on the future of the Final Fantasy series on the PS3. However, a spokesperson added that "at previous E3s and other shows we've announced different Final Fantasies for different platforms, and I think that will continue."

xenogears was made by namco but asked square(since they're more known for rpgs) to publish the game instead.
Where the hell is KH3 at!?!?!?
Like the remakes, that grace every console. But square-enix is always making exclusive (generally) so I'd say: FFs for ps3, while other great squeenix for x360. But the next FFs cannot go on the ps3, they would have to chance their engine (white engine). Maybe they'll think about it for the next ones if the ps3 is still in the back. But with the FF13s, the ps3 will regain it's place (or even before that). :D
FF versus 13 will feature the team that made the kingdom hearts PLUS the team that made the advent children movie :D, so it's gonna be GREAT and it'll look GREAT too, lol. Still, if you didn't care about other games then KH, you'll have to wait till they get some time (just after ff vs 13)
