I like movies and video games, but they don't seem to like me. Eat your fruits and vegetables. Proprietor of Frustrated Jacob and Research Runs on YouTube.
This was a pretty good discussion! Got into the state of things at Square as well as market conditions at large. What can FF and KH do to attract new fans & grow? Can Square re-think development so their games actually "meet expectations"?
Give it a listen!
I sat down with Frustrated Jacob to talk about Square Enix's efforts to reboot, what's taking Kingdom Hearts 4 so long, the future of Final Fantasy and what they will do next.

@RyanH36349342 Square is emphasizing its renewed dedication to multiplatform support. Debuting anything to the Playstation audience would not reach new consumers & send the wrong message about the games' availability.
I'm sorry but the finale of that Direct was kinda bad.
KH4 showed pretty much only stuff we saw in the original teaser, no release window.
And that OOT teaser was embarassing. "Oh yeah I'm soooooo excited to please wait for more info on a game everyone watching has MEMORIZED."
I should also add the KH4 trailer wasn't bad -in a vacuum-.
But going away for 4 years, then coming back with more of the same... Fine trailer, but I mean I can't even say it beats the screenshot collage hands-down because that had Mickey in a magical mystery library. :/
To be clear, not a bad show!
But teasing a Zelda that comes out in ~6 months without showing us anything is lame as hell. It's not like it isn't ready to be shown. : /
Ok I'll use this thread to breakdown the gameplay we saw in the KH4 trailer. There are only a few clips to talk about, and the quality will be low cause I can only find one twitter upload that has the HUD, but whatever. The non-HUD clips have slightly different gameplay as well.
Not course-correcting & bringing the Miis back for a Wuhu Island game is a catastrophic mistake, and I feel confident saying that now that Tomodachi Life is a best seller. These Nintendo Switch Sports characters are lifeless and rizzless.
