Unsurprising. They already split remake up to milk more money out of long time fans, and now they’re doubling down on the mobile market. I remember long wishing for a remake and now I want my wish back. DAMN YOU MONKEY’S PAW!!!

Great, they put every single thing from the playbook of shitty mobile games in there
Square Enix is no longer square enix. They need to take a hard look in the mirror, like capcom, to see who they truly are or will see the collapse of the company. I fully expect either a Sony or Nintendo swooping in to buy them/ bail them out.
They keep fucking up and putting out/ producing garbage. I'm still pissed about how they ruined the remake.
Only legislation will fix this.
I weep for all the talented people working under squenix. They seem determined to squeeze blood from a rock, shattering it into a thousand tiny shards, few of which are worth paying for anymore.
I tried playing it because a friend recommended it, and I barely lasted 3 days with it. It is a complete waste of time - you don’t even play it; it plays itself. The games are a Cliff’s Notes version of the original games. I got to it telling me I had to pay to upgrade my weapons past level 30, and I was done.
If I so much as see a daily reward or a separate currency or an in game store, it gets uninstalled. Those things are guarantees that it sucks.
Nobody can milk their fans like Square Enix can.
Heard about a FFX remake being developed... ehh you can keep it.
Fuck you give me more Blitzball
Blitzball 2023 EA model style
I am both excited and appalled at the idea
Remember when TV had commercials instead of video games?
I have room in my life for exactly one gacha game, which I don't spend money on. Sometimes this is a fun little distraction, even though progress is slow without buying currency. This is how I felt about Record Keeper before they shut down the global version. I love FF7 so I'm giving this a shot, but it's been a week and I'm struggling. There are so many superimposed mechanics that it feels like a new player starting a free to play game at year 5 or 6 of its life, after they've steadily added new mechanics, currencies, and other powercreep for years. But it hasn't been out for years, it's been out for a week and there are already so many things to keep track of. It feels like work.
Also, the "automatic" battle AI is VERY good. Better than I am. And you can double the speed so the battles go quicker. At first I was relieved because it meant I didn't have to pay attention while grinding, but why am I doing this at all if I'm not even playing it?
Yeah I tried playing it this weekend. The very beginning was amazing and nostalgic, but as soon as I finished the opening mission I was bombarded with all the deals and packs and unlocks... I went from excited to feeling sick to my stomach over the amount of bait I had to dismiss before I even saw the main mobile landing page for the first time. I haven't opened it since.
I saw "for android and osx" in the first few seconds of the trailer and closed out
