Square Enix cautious about flooding the market with HD-2D games
Posted on 6 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Square Enix has provided a fairly steady stream of HD-2D games since 2018, but the company is also a bit wary about flooding the market with those types of titles.
We already know that after the recent release of Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Dragon Quest 1 and 2 are set to receive the same treatment next year. Producer Masaaki Hayasaka told Bloomberg that he’d also “love to consider” remakes for other entries as well. However, that will depend on reactions to Dragon Quest 3, and Square Enix doesn’t want to go overboard with HD-2D games at once.

[Review] Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven
Posted on 1 month ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2024
Developer: Square Enix / Xeen
Publisher: Square Enix
Square Enix’s SaGa franchise has seen quite the return over the last few years. With almost as many entries as the mainline Final Fantasy games, the series has had a lot of time to define itself – resulting in a focus on non-linearity, exploration, and a unique take on character advancement and customization that in the modern age is still surprisingly addictive and proves that the SaGa renaissance is in full swing. Heading in to a game I first experienced on Switch when it was first ported to the west in 2017, I was incredibly excited to return to the world of Avalon in beautiful 3D with Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.
