Soon you’ll be playing with POWER………………

Well here we have another “TECH DEMO” from the mighty Square Enix. I for for one have have it with these guys. What does it matter how gorgeous the demo is, if a game “A Real Game” never comes out using the hardware. How long ago did Square Enix show the world a Tech Demo of Final Fantasy VII??? They said it would take nearly ten years to create a remake of the title. I don’t know about you but, haven’t we waited nearly as long for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Oh, I get it. That’s the 800 pound gorilla in the room everyone is ignoring.

It’s time Square Enix started to put the same zeal into it’s own franchises as they have with the titles they have acquired from Edios. With Kane and Lynch, Deus Ex, Hitman and Tomb Raider going back to the beginning I believe Final Fantasy should get the same well deserved attention at a reboot.But that would make too much sense. Final Fantasy from the top………………….Not likely.
