Square Enix Is Listening
When the announcement concerning the multi-part release of Final Fantasy VII remake was made, there was a lot of confusion and angry fans. Square Enix had its ear to the community and was quick to clarify the nature of what this meant. This was also the case when fans were a bit shocked by the major differences apparent in the gameplay that was shown off. Square Enix was once again clear about its goal and their vision for the game, but was still accepting feedback.
A company that listens is always a good sign. Does it mean that they’re going to bend to every demand? No. But it does mean that they are putting the fanbase first, and are willing to be transparent about their inner workings. Often in video games, complaints go unheard and no official responses are given at all. To this point, Square Enix has kept fans and media up to date with what they can discuss now, are responding to reactions, and are slowly releasing other information as they are able to do so. While there are no guarantees, this is a good sign that things are going to be okay.
