Quote:In the last few weeks, we've published a few articles about Square Enix. The first looked at the buy-out of Eidos, and how Eidos is what is seemingly keeping the company going at the moment, while the second commented on whether or not Square Enix were right to pursue Facebook games and apps as a viable way to generate revenue for the long-term.

I can't wait for part 2...That was very interesting and not bogged down by every single little detail of Square's life...It's nice to see a condensed form of all the important dates...

Very nice summary of SE's history, great job! I still think The Spirits Within was better than Advent Children though, at least when it comes to its narrative.

I assume he means as their initial movie, instead of Spirits Within.

Good article.

I must say though S-E's games lineup is awesome now compared to back when they formed, I like them more now than before.

In just this gen they have given me some of my fav handheld games (FF7:CC, KH:BBS, TWEWY, DQIX, Dissidia Duodecim 012), my favourite Ipod Touch game (Chaos Rings) and some of my favourite console games (FFXIII, Just Cause 2, Nier).

Please continue to pump out quality like these and stop making MMO's as in reality its FFXIV that has got you in this problem.

Long Live Square-Enix...the most underrated developer of this generation!
