2. Square Needs To Focus On Other (Better) Projects
Square Enix has been busy lately, fixing the numerous problems with Final Fantasy XIV, working on the most recent Final Fantasy XV (originally Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a project that has been in the works for seven years), finishing up work on Lightening Returns, and shipping out the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD remake. These (except maybe the last one) are a welcome change of pace for Square Enix, which had a track record of disappointing fans with long development times, cancelling of projects, or just shipping out lackluster games. For example, Final Fantasy XV was originally announced in 2006 as the last entry of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series (the span of games under Final Fantasy XIII moniker). Since then, an entire generation of video games and gaming consoles have come and gone, several series, such as the lauded Mass Effect, have come to a conclusion, and gamers have begun to move on to newer, more exciting announcements, such as the plans for a third inFamous game, or the now defunct Megaman Legends 3 (may the Megaman series rest in peace). This is a prime instance of Square Enix's many transgressions against fans, who, until recently, have becoming increasingly upset with the company. Even though Square Enix is beginning to fix their problems, they are far from done. With a sequel to Theatrhythm to be released, and other projects very well deserving to have additions (such as the Dissidia series or the Brave Fencer Musashi series), Square has a lot of other things to think about besides a reboot of a series that is fine as it is. Even though some may argue that a reboot to FFVII is what Square needs to get back on people's good side, there are a lot better solutions to be had.
