Square Enix
Square Enix has been getting a lot of attention over the past year, some of it good, some of it not so much. They had to deal with Tomb Raider fans being upset about the exclusivity deal struck up with Microsoft (great game btw), then they made some huge announcements at E3 that had everyone super excited (yes, we’re talking about Final Fantasy VII Remake), but then things got a bit less stellar when some confusing details were shared (still talking about Final Fantasy VII Remake). But with all of the ups and downs there’s one thing that remains clear, they have one potentially strong lineup of games coming in the near future.
Square Enix is one of those companies that does something great than immediately follows up with something clumsy, so it will be interesting to see what they do with all of the major titles in their roster. Deus Ex was almost derailed by a weird pre-order campaign, but that seems to finally be in order. There’s no telling what the company has up its sleeve in regards to Final Fantasy XV, or perhaps even the upcoming Kingdom Hearts titles.
There’s also the looming shadow that they created on the PlayStation stage back at E3 2015. Final Fantasy VII Remake is proving to be a lot of pressure. Every announcement leads to an uproar from fans, and the fact that details have been relatively tight, only having a few things released every so often, makes things a bit more difficult. There’s no denying that they want to deliver something great, they’ve been very clear about that. But what that means is yet to be seen. You can be sure to find out quite a bit in the next year, though.
