Again with the waiting from SE >_>

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

The reason why SE is not on scheudal is because they are looking at the $13/month/player, and saying to themselves why rush(the quicker we give them everything that will be out for the game, the quicker the game will be over=profits go bye-bye). Also, along the same lines, FFxi will stay alive as long as SE is making a profit on the game(or at least not loosing 30-60% of the player base currently playing as of right now). SE will never realise a schedule because "rumors" bring more money to SE than an actual release date. I wish i could defend SE, but i have gotten to the point where the only thing any company is out for is making more profits than all of the competition put together. About the only thing I defend SE on is trying to do something about RMT. I think FFxi is one of thye better games to come along since "Syphon filter" and "Parasite eve", but that doesn't mean ill defend SE's business tacticts(or any company for that matter)

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

I agree D2. I love SE's games, but their business decisions and customer service really strike me as odd/annoying some times. For example, they wouldn't let Bandai Namco have the Xenogears license to make Xenosaga a real prequel, even though SE already stated it had no intentions of revisiting that series ever. What the hell?


And you're right Legal Fish btw... I just hate being attacked when really all I wanted was to vent some frustration and see what others were thinking about. Though, that practically lends itself to personal attacks so I suppose it's unavoidable. Whatever.


By the way, Why do you hate old people? O . O?

Companies run by such short sighted people do not last long, thankfully for existing companies you don't run them. For one, they own it and could do anything they wish with it, however they would not sit there just after financing it and decalare they would never use it again. Second, Xenogears was very popular, why would they 'give' it to a competitor?

If you say something in a public forum you better expect other forum users to say something about it.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

It's true though. SE firmly said sometime ago that they wouldn't ever revisit the series. Xenosaga hadn't sold the millions of copies it has by today back then, so SE had figured it to be an unwise business decision to ever go back to it. After all, why spend money on a sequel that wouldn't make much, if any money?

And I still hate them for that. Damn it, Xenosaga, while awsome, probably would've been an amazing prequel to Xenogears if SE had at least agreed to lease them the license. It's also SE's fault that these same guys can't make another Crono Trigger game.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

I still don't understand how this update is "late" or "not on schedule". I don't ever recall SE stating that "we are going to release an update every month" or whatever. Just sit tight and play (as you supposedly like the game) and just wait until the next update DOES happen.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

Wow I like how both sides of the argument have become uninformed and cynical.

1) Yes, there is a schedule they stay by. It looks like they won't meet it.

2) No SE isn't trying to rip you off. Stop with that conspiracy nonsense, save it for gil seller threads and 9/11.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

I'm pretty sure SE has stated before that they try to make the updates bi-monthly. However, they tend to let us know if the update is off schedule at the last minute >.>b

Which doesn't mean it's etched in stone. Companies, like people, are allowed to change their minds.

It's also SE's fault that these same guys can't make another Crono Trigger game.

Chrono Break deserves to be made long before SE bothers making or giving permission to someone else to make a Xenogears sequel/prequel/side story/whatever.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

Personally I was never that big on the Chrono series, especially after the piece of garbage that was Chrono Cross. However, if a real sequel ever was made, chances are it won't be the same spectacular team that's now under Bandai Namco's employment.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

Ok, I found it. SE did put out a schedule at the Film Festival. I, however; don't believe that it was carved in stone. But, if you are one who feels like anything SE puts out should be followed to the letter, I could see how you would think they are behind.

As I look at it a little closer, the only things that they haven't released that they said they would is the Colleseum and the Chocobo Circuit. Other than that, they are pretty much on track.

http://treasures.freehostia.com/ahtfuture.html is the link where I found the information.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

That's not the schedule I was referring to actually.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

I love how everyone is completely misinterperting the OP's complaint. The issue is not that SE is "behind schedule" on the update (for god's sake we just GOT an update a month and a half ago, chill) but rather the complete and utter silence from SE as to any of their plans. All they posted was that new years thing that basically only served to remind us that they are, in fact, actually doing the things they're getting paid to do. I personally agree with the OP, SE's silence is very annoying and I wish they would give us more insight into their plans and their reasons for doing this thing or not doing that thing. I'm especially interested in their reasons for not giving us a story update last time. I'm not saying that was bad, although I was certainly bummed out by it, all I'm saying is that I want to hear their REASON (not fan speculation, but SE's official position).

Anyone got the link to that interview? I'd love to read it.

It's the end of the month and still no word on the next version update.

SE always posts something the month before, so does this mean they're off schedule again? e.g. update will be in march instead of February.

Toksyuryel:

Actually, I think the OP was complaining about lack of info and sounding the alarm about the possibility of S-E not able to keep up with some schedule for updates.

You're misinterpreting the OP, I think.

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

wow... this one is still going...

Re: Again with the waiting from SE >_>

Ah, I stand corrected. Although I think the core of my post is still valid- it would be nice if SE was more open with their plans and reasonings =/
