This is bat-shit insane. The end.

This was a test for Square in my eyes. They failed. I no longer look forward to final fantasy releases, a preposterous notion for my 13 year old self. Now Square no longer have the benefit of the doubt. Sad but true.

Looking forward to this. The graphics were tight on the PC version so I can't wait to see what they get up to with the Next-gen consoles. Larger textures by the look of it. Heroes of the fleet had some good content so adding that to the main game is definitely a bonus too.

Enjoy away. I don't think we'll be able to come to an agreement on this one.

I never berated anyone. I was only defending the journalist's right AND duty to call out things which look weak. This most definitely looks weak. Don't get uppity and categorize me, I'm not drawing any conclusions about individual tastes here.

I'll state again, this looks poor, like a lot of things coming out of…

I have no problems with shallow release, hell, I have my own outlets. But that doesn't make the movie/show/artist/developer any better does it? That'd be like comparing a child's scribble and master painters' best work. Sure you can appreciate the child's image, but comparable to the other piece of art there's no…

If something is looks poor, then why not critique it? Obviously a full review on release is how you validate those those criticisms, but with something like this you can draw a lot of assumptions.

To all those people saying "Yeah, it looks like it will be ridiculous, but FUN!", where has your quality bar fallen to?…

Yeah I agree. Seems great. Dat protagonist name though...

What do you mean by "Capitalism sucks sometimes."? All the time. Capitalism sucks ALL THE TIME. I agree with the rest of what you say though.

Boglins...

Boom. Progressive thinker in the house.

Planetes is amazing.

Yeah... prepare to have double the gold you're used to.

At a guess, I think this is concept artwork from the discontinued Exteel online mech game.

My thoughts exactly. Some developers have tried to create intuitive touch inputs for games but most users still demand console controller systems. It's a little ridiculous tbh, because it feels like a step back. Also makes the mobile gaming concept a little bit redundant when you have to carry a beast like that around…

Tbh, this was my impression when I first saw this vid. The school is taking these students' money and then making them believe that they are black belts.

"Artificial Strawberry flavor frosted cereal + Marshmallow bits" ... aww man. I dislike this kind of food.

I agree with this entirely. People who read only the title would think that this article was XBone bashing. It talks about developer crunch.

The title screen music is sooooo good.

Big fan of all of these. Good to hear the UK scene is represented amongst the Kotaku readership haha.
