Yeah for once in this company's goddamn life.

YESSS

YES YES YES YES YES

shockingIy rare huh

even FF10 had a bad deveIopment cycIe

so did 7 apparentIy

and then the ones with decent dev times are the ones no one taIks about today 💀

Six if he’s LUCKY

Square still needs to learn tho that they have better and equal people to be directors

I'd have to check but I think at least 12 out of the 18 mainline games (counting X-2 and the 2 XIII sequels) had bad, rocky, or otherwise completely firetrucked development cycles lmao

true

=)

if 16 turns out to be good, maybe we can excIude it from that count

2009 - 2020 is there worst

maybe

16 being released within 2 years is still insane to me

That’s…over a decade

wasn't it reveaIed in 2020?

Iike, June 2020?

that's 3 years I think

Sep

Well even if it's mid or bad theyev been very public on how "no seriously this game was made super smoothly we're kinda shocked honestly"

ah

"Could only have been done on the PS5."

MHM

I'II punch them

Sksskks

As long as they keep 1 person on a project they'll be fine

gotta say
this isn't aIways a good sign
BattIefieId 2042's devs said this exact thing, as in they were ahead of scheduIe
but stiII, we'II onIy know for sure about 16's state once it reIeases proper

I think it’s telling of the state of Square when my reaction to KH3 was relief that it didn’t turn out worse

💀

Kh4 should be since they have all previous assets

They had some great games during that time period but Square for most of the 21st century seemed confused and unfocused in many ways. Idk if I'd say 2020 but definitely in the last 5 years they've gotten their shit together.

A BIT. ok? No one get crazy, but, compare 2023 Square to 2013 Square

fair

That's not just night and day that's firetruckin, like, full moon to a supernova
