But they’re not numbered so they totally don’t count, amirite.

Because it was possible to go deeper into the ground than 1.0?

His work on FFXIV is working its way back into FFXI these days, though. You can see it in small things like the addition of mounts and micro-transactions for additional storage. But it’s only natural considering he oversees that team; he’s just not an actual part of it.

We have no idea how the revenue breakdown actually works, but Disney owns the entirety of the franchise. Square Enix is just the developer and publisher. Kingdom Hearts is Disney’s IP and all original characters in the games are considered to be Disney-owned characters. That’s why the copyright information for the…

Just please don’t wrongly assume that Enix *caused* any of that. It happened around that time, yes, but Squaresoft was very much on their way to that themselves. The Enix merger only served to benefit the company.

To be completely honest, you’re the first person I’ve seen that’s assumed he worked on FFXI. The only FFXI credit he has is for Rhapsodies of Vana’diel, as it was made in Business Division 5 after he moved into his leadership position.

Yoshida never worked on FFXI. He’s probably had at least *some* part in it now, being the head of Business Division 5, but Yoshida originated from what’s now called Business Division 6— the team primarily responsible for Dragon Quest.

Prior to being moved in to salvage FFXIV 1.0 he was working on Dragon Quest X (the…

Be careful with that edge.

KH is the love child of the Japanese branch of Disney, so they’re naturally much more proactive about its promotion in Japan. Outside of Japan, when compared to other Disney franchises it’s still kind of small potatoes, but I think they’re slowly starting to embrace it more and more.

I was at the launch event for 2.5…

Platinum isn’t working on Dissidia NT, it’s Team Ninja from Koei Tecmo.

That’s because it is unnecessary. It’s never been done before, but it makes perfect sense. Historically, third versions have always sold worse because you lose the extra sales from fans that double dip. Going back to a third version style concept but split in half means you get those extra sales back without making an…

Just like there was no reason to buy Blue (JP), Yellow, Emerald or Platinum?

It’s most likely a third version concept split into two games for additional sales. BW2 taught them that two games will always be better than one and the massive outcry for a lack of Z told them that fans do actually miss third versions.

The…

Do so! They’re great. BW is a better game than BW2, but BW2 is still a great expansion on the region’s lore.

Reshiram and Victini. Gen V had great legendary designs. My favorite non-legend is probably Musharna.

It is being marketed for its handheld capability, but I referring to the instances where Nintendo has said it’s considered their next home console.

There’s nothing stopping a release on both platforms, and I agree that would a great idea. Rumors suggest we may see a third game on Switch in 2018, but a complete move to…

Gen V has pretty universal praise in the fandom at this point. The story was amazing and it had a lot of great characters, like N.

I’d pick up something more recent like Sun & Moon and then go back to the classics.

But in what way are BW2 an alternate story of BW? They’re literally chronological sequels. These games feature the same protagonists and appear to be at the same general spot in the timeline with an alternate version of the events of SM. They’re much, much closer to 3rd versions on the surface.

The Switch is being marketed as a home console with the ability to double as a handheld. They’ve made this rather clear.

It’s a system that’s both expensive, and not particularly child friendly. I can understand why TPC would be apprehensive to immediately move the main series over, especially when you consider the…

Or it’s simply Necrozma’s influence on them. Perhaps forms they take on when they’re under its control.

They’ll be for Switch unless Nintendo decides to introduce a new dedicated handheld. It’s also not outside the realm of possibility that a 3rd version of Ultra is still Switch bound.
