Add in: stop localizing random shit like Mindjack, and stick with what you're good at. But yea, I really like "stop announcing five games at once, and never actually have anything to show for them in five years".
Square will never return to form, in my opinion, regardless of how many rules could be imposed on them in an effort to get them to cut the shit. Why? Lets take a route right out of the XCOM playbook and just admit to ourselves that the games that made Squaresoft/Enix great in the first place are no longer "contemporary".
The industry evolved itself right out of the good JRPG phase almost completely this gen. Remember that glorious 3-4 year span back in the mid to late 90s when Square could do absolutely no wrong, giving us a stable of RPG classics that stand to this day as some of the best examples of the genre? Those games are not contemporary.
If Square rolled over and died in 1999, it would have been a catastrophe. If they bit the dust today, I bet 80% of today's gamers wouldn't even notice or care. Square Enix is not contemporary.

type zero is done, dragon quest X is done, 13-2 will be done, rocket slime 3 is almost done, kingdom hearts 3ds is half way done
the only game of theres that has a problem is versus

Well, you looked at 50% of the issue.
SE had eight releases in Q1 year. mostly divided between PSP and DS, And the honest truth is that the handheld market is THE market in Japan, and Japan tends to be their first priority 99.9% of the time. I imagine SE is pulling their hair out just to find a way to topple Monster Hunter there.
Also, they gave a pretty up-front preview of FFXIII-2 in Game Informer last month, forgoing the usual Famitsu drip-feed for something more substantial worldwide.
Still, I find it strange to complain about games that aren't out yet when you have dozens of games that come out each week these days and honestly more than anyone could hepe to keep up with.
Maybe SE should just do what Nintendo does these days - have a game in development for years and then announce it. That way things like Luigi's Mansion 2 come off as a total surprise and there's not that much of a wait for such games to happen.

I'll use my normal Brooklyn accent in future. I forgot that being British automatically = being Yahtzee.
FF Versus is the new FF12. FF12 is by far THE BEST of the series (yes 3 is great, as is 7, but 12 is just amazing in size of scope and gameplay). I will skip the crap that is FF 13-2 as FF 13 was crap.
Almost every game they've announced is nearing completion. Hows it different then any other company and who cares about a wait. They showed like 10 minutes of Versus gameplay and the full production thing was a mistranslation I believe.
What games besides Versus have we been waiting a long time for(thats been announced) Type Zero is coming out this year so thats all of that spiritual series excepting Versus. Almost every title they announce comes out the next year.
This was actually pretty decent though and not blind hate like I was expecting. I'm pleasantly surprised Jim :p
And the whole SE is out dated thing is ridiculous imo. Jrpgs were cool for a very brief period of time but now their not. So people who played the PS1 games like to take a dump on them when they were never fans of the genre to begin with.

Square is past the point of no return.
They have the fucking audacity to announce AND release FFXIII-2 before it finishes Versus or that other damn game. Any form of sensibility they had as a company has long since been lost.

Not bad Jim, but you forgot the part about making sure Squeenix starts making GOOD games instead of the drivel they've been shoveling out for the last... I dunno, 10 years?
yup, square DEF should have did the FFVII remake. it would have already been out adn they would have made TONS of money. still have no idea why they never did. guess it just goes to show you how out of touch square is w/its fans. look at the numbers the PSOne/PSN release of FFVII when it launched. i'd def buy the FFVII remake.. anything else they produce? hell no, FFXIII made me lose all faith in Square. hell, you had to read the damn level summaries to know what was really going on. plus, why can't we ever get a cinema player or the option to just watch all cut scenes?
@Prime
Well it uses a all new engine and has controllable cutscenes so that takes a long time.
Its the same thing as FFX-2 which came out right after X. 12 didn't come for many years after that.

I wonder how you can play that Blocks on portrait with them big fingers. I got the same hands and struggle with the controls.
Good that you have fixed those problems now if we could just convince most of their talent to comeback and make good game again.
When I was a very small child I played Final Fantasy X on my brother in law's shiny new PS2 and I immediately claimed that Square Enix was the best thing EVUR. *Sigh* I was just a child.
Honestly, this would work incredibly well. Square Enix seems to have no restraint and they never release anything of quality anymore.
Hey ASSHOLE - your vid has major FFXIII spoilers in it. Some of us actually gave a fuck to finish that game.
Tell it to Square Enix, it's their trailer.
And if you gave a fuck to finish that game, it wouldn't be a spoiler. Genius.

@jbadman450
It does?! I'm at least 10 hours in the game (though I've been on a hiatus of the game for two months). Thank Jebus I have a short attention span or I would have been looking at the video.
@seamonkey420
I understand a lot of people like FFVII, but why keep asking for a remake? I'd rather Square work on something new than a game that most people who care about it own it. If you love the game so much, then the graphics shouldn't matter, and people will just complain about the differences like they did with MGS Twin Snakes, and if they don't change anything asides from the graphics then what's the point.

As for your second comment though, believe me, when you have a backlog that stretches as far as mine, it takes years to finish RPGs. I'm the type that thinks every vid with Aeris hitting the you know what should have a spoiler warning.
Another rule(or at least a bit of good advice) for Square-Enix: Remember to make full use of the Intellectual Property assets and human resources of Eidos/Square-Enix West, bringing them in to help develop the games of Square-Enix East or to integrate into other properties for the occasional intra-company crossover.
Besides getting that valuable outsider's perspective from within another part of their own company that would help their games sell better in the international marketplace, it could mean taking a completely new approach to older IPs if need be.
Yes, that means a Golgo 13 styled Number 47 in HitMan or Lara Croft being added into the cast of a Final Fantasy game. Seeing as how Final Fantasy Versus XIII looks like a near future Earth with magic and monsters and the Tomb Raider series is pretty much nearer future Earth with magic and monsters, Lara would fit right in. Plus, she is practically a more British version of Tifa Lockheart, anyway.

imagine a girl tells you she'll come over eventually, and in your bubbling anticipation her arrival, you go ahead and whip your dick out. you stand in your room for three days with your dick in your hand until she finally calls you and tells you that she's coming over this afternoon, but instead you berate her for making you wait so long when, in fact, you are the one who whipped your dick out in excitement way too fucking early.
square enix is the sexy lady. you are the fool waiting with your dick hanging out.
also, can you drop the "thank dog for me" thing and go back to hurling microphones?

Two rules for jim sterling:
1. he can only eat 3 regular sized meals a day.
2. every day that he doesn't perform some type of excercise a meal is deducted from the daily maximum of 3 meals.

Jim Sterling makes the internet fun. He's like a villain of my favorite childhood wrestling. Yeah, we jeer him, shout our little insults, egg him on with our typo-ridden posts and what not, but ultimately it's all part of the show.
Just thought I'd throw that out there. Also, he'd make a great Elvis.
;D

What about Blizzard? The fact that people only get mad when it's SQEX shows that it's pretty much bullshit (Starcraft Ghost ... *cough*). At least SQEX puts out more than one game a decade. They released more games this year than any other single company.
They haven't announced anything else that is heavily delayed, and the December release of XIII-2 should show that they already are doing what you asked Jim.
This would have been okay advice in 2008. They games are almost all done though. Type-0 is done, and all that's left is Versus XIII, which is going to move into the spotlight very soon. Theatrhythm has been in development for a while now since it was originally a DS game, but they held off on announcing it until it was almost ready.
Tomb Raider was mostly all a CG trailer at E3 this year, with less gameplay shown than Versus XIII showed. It didn't get any complaints though because it's not obviously Japanese so you guys didn't pick on it your usual hypocritical way. Need I remind you guys again that they showed nearly 7 minutes of gameplay?
The ironic part is that everyone is begging them to show something on Kingdom Hearts 3 even though it's not announced at all. Hypocrites.

Rule 3:
Stop making games no one asked for. A rhythm based Final Fantasy? A sequel to one of the worst reviewed Final Fantasy games in the last fifteen years, but not a remake of one of the most iconic games in the franchise? Four different Kingdom Hearts games, one of which actually explains SOME of the plot (Birth by Sleep), but not a true sequel in over five years?
Fuck off, Square Enix. I don't mind if you guys publish other people's games, because chances are those games are better than what you're developing, but Jesus Fucking Christ on a cross, stop doing stupid shit!
