SQUARE ENIX


With so much going on with the company, I decided to kind of rant about SQUARE ENIX. Square has made some pretty awesome games. Their most popular games being the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series (which I love very much). However, they have come out with some pretty awesome games during the years. Examples of said games are Tomb Raider (2013), Quantum Conundrum,  Hitman Absolution, Dragon Quest VII and TWEWY (The World Ends With You). These games have seen a lot of success and I believe the company is doing very well in the gaming world. However, SQUARE ENIX makes amazing games, but they are a BIG FAT TEASE!! They are a tease because of their most popular games. Fans of Kingdom Hearts have been waiting for KH III since 2005. From 2005 to now, there have been a lot of filler games. They are important to the story line, but some fans are getting sick and tired of waiting. I'm happy now that Kingdom Hearts has lived for as long as it did and that now Kingdom Hearts III is within our grasp, but still, when the KH III release date is announced, I'm gonna scream FINALLY  on the top of my lungs. I mean I had a good feeling that it was going to come out this year.... than they said 1.5 was coming out of fall of this year. Just when you think we get what we want, SQUARE ENIX throws another tease at us. There's also the tease with Final Fantasy. For some reason, I don't know why, FF VII fans have been BEGGING for a re-make of Final Fantasy VII. They said they're not going to make a remake until THERE'S A FINAL FANTASY GAME BETTER THAN VII.... yeah, it's going to be awhile before we get that remake. VII was the MOST POPULAR Final Fantasy game on the market. I see it as it's own series in itself. There are a total of 3 games + one that SHOULD BE IN THE MAKING! and a movie. There will most likely NEVER be a Final Fantasy game that's better than VII unless all the VII fans got together and decided to trick Square into thinking there is a game so they can make a remake, even though I personally feel that instead of a remake, they should be focused on the game that comes after Dierge of Cerberus. I mean Genesis did come back to life. Cloud needs to go kick his ass. Basically, SQUARE ENIX has created some amazing games, but their the ultimate tease when it comes to their most popular games. I think I've ranted enough. What do you guys think of SQUARE ENIX? Tell me. Voice of a Gamer signing out.

AC IV, KH 1.5, and Rhythm Theif

Ok, so much is going on in the world of gaming that I'm pushing three topics in one post so bear with me. Let's start with the upcoming Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. I was really shocked when I saw the announcement. I never expected for the next game to come out so soon. The game comes out October 29th of this year. That makes it almost (short of a day) a year since AC III came out. The only logical reason I can see why this game is coming out so soon is that they were already working on it while working on or finishing AC III. Now, I think the game is going to be awesome!! I mean, come on, Pirate Assassin  Two very badass things put into one. What more could I ask for. The fact that Black Beard, the most gruesome pirate that ever lived throughout history, is talking about how bad the new assassin is, I'm pretty excited to see what this assassin can do. Since the game takes place in the Carribean, there is most likely going to be ALOT of naval battles. The naval battles were awesome in AC III. I wanna see what they do with it in this game. The new assassin, Edward Keenway, looks like a badass. I really like his design. It fits the title of Pirate Assassin. I'll let you guys know more on what I think as soon as I get more info.

MOVING ON! Next is the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 coming out in North America in Fall 2013. Ok first things first, SQUARE ENIX YOU TEASE!!! This is most likely a sign that the long awaited Kingdom Hearts III is not coming out until 2014. I'm pretty excited for it. I mean I get the chance to play the first three games that came out in the series (as I said in a much earlier post, I got into the KH series when 358/2 Days came out). Also AMERICA FINALLY GETS ONE OF THE FINAL MIX GAMES!!!! I mean seriously, we've heard about all of the final mixes and never got a single one of them and the first one (i think) was in ENGLISH!!! So not fair T_T. But, we do get to play Kingdom Hearts Final Mix without importing it.I'm kind of upset that we can't play Days on it, but it makes sense since it was a DS game. I'm cool with just watching the cutscences though. The game is a great way to celebrate 10 years of Kingdom Hearts, but I still would've liked to hear a Kingdom Hearts III announcement instead.

NEXT TOPIC!! Final topic of this post is for Rhythm Thief  Now, I know this game came out years ago, but I watched the walkthrough for it a few days ago and found it very interesting. It's not exactly like you average rhythm game. I had a Professor Layton feel to it as well. I feel like it's a step up for all rhythm games. Because in all honesty, I only play rhythm games for the music. They usually don't have a really good story line. Rhythm Thief however does and I like it. I can't wait for the sequel. I think other rhythm game makers will follow their example.

Phew, that took awhile. I had more to say about KH and AC than Rhythm Thief. Oh well, those are my thoughts guys. Oh, before I go I might, MIGHT, start making vlogs for this stuff. idk yet. I'll let you guys know. Voice of a Gamer signing out.
