Squeenix might be planning to drop "Enix"
Don't dress as a fat sailor moon and fit desu, kawaii and baka into every sentence. Sylph.Yajirobe said: » WTH is that pink thing he's holding?!? It looks like the *** from hell! Syntactically, since Japanese is SOV and not SVO, you can add "desu" to the end of virtually any sentence without changing grammatical accuracy. "desu" alone is itself a sentence, though wholly context based.
Really have no idea why weeaboos picked it up but probably some popular character added it repeatedly at the end of every utterance which didn't go unnoticed.  Only white Japanese allowed Phoenix.Fredjan said: » Spoiler'd because it HURTS Ragnarok.Ashman said: » I like coke better than pepsi. Sorry.

Ragnarok.Sekundes said: » That is clearly not pepsi or coke but a big red in disguise. His blood shows the truth. On topic though, what happened to all the original square people? I'm sure many of them went off to make their own dev teams or companies. Sakaguchi's last effort with Square was FFIX. After that, he formed Mistwalker, developing for the 360 mostly and you may have heard of the petition to have The Last Story (the first game Sakaguchi himself has directed since FFV) localized in North America. Yoshitaka Amano, the original character designer, was always a manga artist. He's the one who does those really funny looking pictures. He was replaced by Tetsuya Nomura in FFVII, but still does concept art for the series. Also, Vampire Hunter D. Nomura, besides being the character designer directed Kingdom Hearts and is directing Versus. His character design went from cool unlikely characters like Barrett to the off-coloured spiky anime style haircuts FF is famous for. That is why everyone in XIII, KH, and Versus look the same. Prior to that it was restricted to his main characters (Cloud, Squall, Tidus). I am hoping this design trend is more SE's doing than Nomura himself, as he has stated that Versus will be the darkest in the series and include blood. I hope it also includes good characters, ones that swear and yell at their wives to get tea for their guests instead of just cry all the time. Yasumi Matsuno directed Vagrant Story and XII, and is famous for the Ogre Battle series before that. He was never really big in Square and departed during XII but is working on games in another company. Nobuo Uematsu left SE sometime after X or XI, but still composes a good amount of SE's game's soundtracks. Yoshinori Kitase has been writer/director/producer since near the beginning as well. He is still there. So basically the company still has all the key people behind it. Sakaguchi is really the only one who's gone and he supposedly didn't play a large part in the development of the later games anyway.

It was good while it lasted, but they've seriously milked the FF franchise for far too long. FF12 was the last title they should have released.
Unless, ofcourse, they can actually make a game that will rise above all else from the pile of crap they've got themselves into with recent games, like some form of freakish garbage phoenix. Talking about anime, jrpgs, or cosplaying would be racist.

It'd be like going over to a British persons house and being like "YO CULTURE IS SO COOL, LURV DA MONTY PYTHON." Or better yet, going up to someone from New Zealand and being all like "LORD OF DA RINGS, LUVV DA LORD A DA RINGZ" What I don't like about Nomura is... well
  Notice the pattern yet?

On the topic of weeaboos, a friend of mine is Japanese himself, moved here when he was like 10, speaks fluent english (doing alevels or something in it), and someone on FFXI tried to make him believe she was japanese (she's a 13 year old weeaboo) by using google translate sentences, he went along with it for so long before just telling her that he's japanese and raining on her parade.
For a while she also had the JP flag as her nationality on this website. xD Phoenix.Fredjan said: » Talking about anime, jrpgs, or cosplaying would be racist. Five internets and a cookie for not talking about either. ^^^This^^^ I can't even count all the times that my friend has been hit on by some guy assuming that because she's Asian she enjoys anime, JRPGs, and cosplaying. /facepalm What happened to this?  When Squaresoft had the confidence to name a main character Butz.

Sakaguchi is really the only one who's gone and he supposedly didn't play a large part in the development of the later games anyway. I am not a fan of Nomura in any way either. His designs for earlier FF were fine, Cloud included. I do hope that the company itself is forcing Nomura to design a certain way because it ruins my hope for individual humankind to think that someone can continuously do something so terribly. I think that theory holds some water, too, because character design does not necessarily mean that all of your characters are going to cry all the time - but alas, that's all they do in X, KH, and XIII. Why can't those girly looking characters still say "let's go to Junon, BOYEEE!" and go $&*#&% all the time? What happened to the lewd jokes? So basically I'm stating my issue isn't entirely with bad physical character design. But idk about the Sakaguchi thing. He did only direct up to FFV. He is listed for "original concept" for the rest of them until he left, though. That can mean as much as an almost directing role or as little as "he started this franchise so he is being given credit even though he hasn't shown up to work in a week." The stories weren't even spectacular in his day, and the original game was just a knockoff of Dragon Quest. I do put some unverified merit to his name though, which is why I am interested in playing the Last Story if it ever comes out here.
