It’s almost the new year, and it’s time for promises. The new President and CEO of Square Enix Yosuke Matsuda made his pledge before entering his first full year at the helm in an interview on Famitsu.

 

In the future we’ll keep developing the games we’ve always done. I’m thinking of Square Enix’s “memorable games,” I want to continue releasing those.

 

 

He then further explained what he meant with “memorable games:”

 

I think Square Enix is known for releasing “memorable games.” We established our style in RPGs with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. The Taito group has developed the original arcade game Space Invaders. Our Eidos group, that is also behind the original Tomb Raider action adventure, has been a pioneer in a new style combining RPG and FPS with Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Thief will be released next year, and the original title was also an excellent work of stealth action. I think in this way the Square Enix group has built, regardless of platform, a style of game for each era. Since the appearance ofDragon Quest and Final Fantasy many RPGs have been released. I want to create many more games like that.

 

 

Sounds like a plan Matsuda-san, just keep em on actual gaming-dedicated platforms and not on smartphones, ok?

 

Thanks to DualShockers.

Huh.  Okay then.

*FFXV and KH3 turn out to be some of the worst games.

I hope by memorable they don't mean a XIIIfirst version of XIV kind of memorable

 

And I hope next time they WON'T TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE A SINGLE VIDEO GAME

XIII was amazing. XIV was remade and now it's one of the greatest MMORPGS of all time.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE?

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE?

 

There's rumours of that, but not to expect it for a long time. The 2012 PC release is the best we've got for now.

Hmm, very interesting . . . .  Everyone has a different idea on what memorable is, though, so we'll have to see what happens from here.  I'm with Sora, though, and that I think XIII could be considered a memorable game.

Blasphemy...it would be funny though
