...Well, I'm impressed. The video looks awesome... but Square-Enix should finish what they have before making another one of their flagship series. And how do we know they're not just trying to make another movie again?
I do remember recently a lot of gamers complaining that companies like Square just rehash old IPs and don't do anything new.GethBall said:
Now Square announces a new IP, and people moan and complain about it...
Yeah I look forward to KH3 and not really caring one way or another about any FF sequels anymore since 12 and 13 were both shit.
Did I just see Arab terrorists in a Final Fantasy game?....
*looks around*
Tom Clancy, are you here?

Gorgeous video, but its a tech demo and they have to showcase it somehow.
I figure SE will release more info on games come the Tokyo Game Show, they usually unveil their big releases on home soil. But they are doing some big games this year that people already know about, let them show off their new engine.

Hey, man, that's not fair. You're making it sound like he just hates one kind of brown-skinned people. He also hates Mexicans.idarkphoenixi said:
I don't know, but I assume Square has the resources to carry on more than one project at a time so chill out.
Yeah, that brings up a good point that this tech demo is also proof of the massive identity crisis the company has been having over the past 3 years or so since it became more oriented towards publishing third-party western titles.BLAHwhatever said:
Oh, and let's not forget, all that shit I said they could do practically to make money and win back fans? ALL of that could be relegated to third-party development with probably fine results. For example, the DS remakes were already being developed by Matrix Software.
I'm hoping that KHIII will at least have a finale so definitve that it will slow down what has so far been a yearly release schedule since 2009.lordlillen said:

You said the problem yourself: "Graphics Engine."
Square has been showing for well over 10 years that they believe that graphics are king. Plot, characters, even gameplay, they all take a backseat to things looking as flashy as they can humanly make it. "What? This summon animation is over 30 seconds and totally disrupts the flow of battle? WHO CARES, IT LOOKS FAAAAABULOOOOUS, no one will EVER want to skip it after the 40th HOUR of gametime they wasted by casting that thing!"
It's not about "making the games I want." I gave up on that, long ago. Their games are always either hit and miss (XIII TRIED to have actual character devellopment for someone besides the one postergirl protagonist but the gameplay was unbearable, while X-2 and XII had the best battle systems in the series while everything else was so atrocious that I had no motivation to see the story through.) Or total miss (Let's be honest, here. Between the plot holes, bland characters, and terrible battle balance, as well as the difficulty of navigating the pre-rendered backgrounds, a certain well loved title is easily heading my "worst JRPGs of all time" list....)
So no. I'm not just being an entitled fan saying "give me the game I want." I'm being a gamer taking a legitimate stand and saying "If you want to make movies, don't call it a goddamn game. And if you want to make a game, try using the graphics as an afterthought instead of the main selling point. Gameplay, story, etc, none of it should have to suffer because you blow the entire budget on the graphics, but it always happens."
I stopped being a Square fan somewhere in the neighborhood of... 7 years ago? But that doesn't mean I don't want to see them learn from their mistakes and start making good games again. I would very much like to like their games, but if they keep pulling BS like that, it's not likely.
Again, herein lies the problem. When was the last time we saw a trailer of gameplay footage from this company?SmarterThanYou said:
