>Destroys your company with a shitty movie
tis not the good you are remembered for, but the bad
>destroys the series with a shitty game worse than anything before>Leaves company
Who destroyed the Square with shitty games, tho? I can think of three, at least.
>>730863058I don't understand Square at all.>make successful game series>massively overestimate technical prowess and writing>produce shit movie>lose all their money>beg for a merger to avoid bankruptcy>still make two more dog shit money pit movies nobody wantedWHY DID THEY DO IT THREE FUCKING TIMES
>Destroys companySays who. FF has sold 5million copies (and many times 10-15m) of each main title since VI on SNES. Numbers that mostly every other company would die for. Numbers that for the types of games they are making and their team sizes again any other publisher and developer would fucking die for.The bait GOTY last year is just barely limping past 5.2m sales, and that was with a cheap price and """"indie"""" bonus sales.
>>730863189Movies are far more accessible and appeal to a much wider audience than video games.That's all that is needed for the suits and the banks.Hollywood has been desperate for any idea they can milk for decades now.
>>730863443Yeah, but the problem is, video game writers are shit writers. They need to write a story with beats that can be padded out, disconnected, and forgotten, because of the playtime involved. They aren't good enough to write a movie. I don't think I've ever seen video games translate well into a TV show or movie, and that includes the new Fallout.I just don't understand why they'd fail, almost go bankrupt, and STILL take two more shots at a market that costs them a fortune to try, and they have had no success in.
>>730863356>Says who.The fact that Squaresoft ceased to exist you fucking retard child
>>730863108>>730863058This shit literally got Xenogears 2 cancelled. I'll never forgive him... but I will acknowledge he was the glue that kept FF working. Without him, the series fell apart.
>>730863058>Destroys your company with a shitty movieanon FF7R didn't come out until after sakaguchi had left.
>>730863356Not a single FF after he left has been good. Cope. In fact, none of their games since have had any of the prestige or cultural relevance. Not ONE.
>>730863189The merger was happening before tSW. Also they made an entire fucking studio for tSW called Square Pictures which they probably didn't want to layoff the entire staff for (as far as I can tell after tSW this studio merged with the in-house studio that Square was already using to make CGI cutscenes since FFVII).Also, I don't think AC and Kingsglaive bombed.
