Hellos, this is AyameHikari once again with some news.



There’s some news I just grabbed recently from a friend,  please bear with me and try not to spam me with comments on how late I am [plz k thx] I know I'm not the best blogger and whenever I do manage to catch something I'm a little bit late. My apologies~ TRY TO LIVE THROUGH IT~!



Not sure if everyone knew this, but apparently there’s been a few issues in Square Enix, such as the loss of plenty money and of course losing a CEO, they announced not too long ago that they would now be focusing on ‘social’ games. I wasn’t sure what ‘social games’ meant at first (I thought this meant that SE would be working on Dating Simulators and what not), but supposedly this means they’ll be joining the many FaceBook games and creating those sorts of little games… point and click wonders.


I can understand them needing to find ways to gather more money, but I also feel a little bit sad at the thought of possibly losing Square Enix as a whole. I've been a fan of their games for way too long for them to suddenly fall under and possibly in more debt than my own college loans... [lol yay college humor]. I hope they get out of the hole soon.


There’s also a bit of anger, while I’m sure plenty of you [perhaps even all of you] are really fond of all the Kingdom Hearts games that have been released as of late… but there are others [including myself, or maybe it is just me] that simply wanted KH3 to come out. After KH2, and then suddenly these games released about the prequels of the story or in between chapters (365/2, ReCoded, Birth By Sleep, Dream Drop Distance...), I was just so upset… instead of spending time [and of course money, since this is an issue] on these types of games… why couldn’t they just get to the game everyone was prepared and ready for?
--Easy money… Kingdom hearts has so many fans willing to go through so many lengths to order, pre-order and buy games, easy money right there. People going out of their way to order it straight from Japan! But maybe I’m the only fan who’s slowly fell out of the fandom and the game due to the constant waiting for the main story to continue… Am I a jerk for thinking that these prequels are a waste of time? Probably, but hey that's my own opinion. People being excited about the story continuing from the ending of Kingdom Hearts II, and yet we were given prequel after prequel after prequel after ALTERNATE STORY after Prequel...

Though it has also been claimed that the money loss was due to environmental change and the focus of console and arcade games… which, to me, makes no sense whatsoever. Maybe someone can elaborate what they mean by that?



So, for the next year, or two, maybe even three, Square Enix will focus on social games… I guess that’s that. Nothing else I can think of saying here. Will they continue the Kingdom Hearts series? Did they give it a dead end? IS THIS IT FOR OUR HEROES?!



I’m sure they’ll find a way to complete it somehow. I know they can do that much. I hope that their focus on Social games will help them out in the end. Funny thing is, Final Fantasy was named just that for a reason, it wasn't a plan on it continuing on for this long... it was meant to be the end, the 'final fantasy', so as much as I love that series too, I would understand and not mind if they stopped creating Final Fantasy games in order to save a bit of money as well.




I’m sorry that this appeared as more of a rant than a blog. I would love everyone’s input though, as well as your thoughts and feelings on how Kingdom hearts and Square Enix will be effected by everything happening as of right now.



Please feel free to comment with your thoughts and feelings on the matter. Stay true, keybladers!
