Square Enix General News

It's an app with little character's running on your desktop. So 2000's

[Tyrath]

Are there characters that aren't...anime girls? lol

[Anoat]

I thought that was the silhouette of a NieR Automata character

[Andalusian girls]

that is 2B yes

[Anoat]

Fun fact the 2B leggings from the NieR raid series are the most popular glam item in FFXIV because it gives every player DAT ASS regardless of race or body type

[arus2001]

Imagine if Clippy or the Bonzai Buddy was a hot anime girl.

[Tyrath]

Man, fuck mobile gaming

[Ayn]

Hard pass.

Give me back Opera Omnia.

[Kaslo]

Of course Nomura uses Gaia as the 14 rep lol

[Anoat]

Belt buckles remain undefeated

[The Stig]

I do love myself some urban (modern) fantasy so I think I'll check it out.
Hope it's available on steam lol

[Tyrath]

Doesn't seem like it will be

I just want them to give us a new Dissidia like the old PSP ones

[arus2001]

Imagine it'll hobble along for a year, exploit the final FF7R chapter release with Cloud/Tifa/Aerith skins, then no one will really give a fuck. Can't really say I've heard anyone talk about the last FF7 gacha since the Tifa Bahamut skin because that game got hella shallow/repetitive quick.

Square Enix is reportedly rolling out layoffs across its offices and studios outside of Japan. This is set to affect 140 workers in London alone, and with the layoffs said to be hitting both Europe and the US, we can expect hundreds of workers to lose their jobs.

Already saw a number of posts on twitter from SE workers that they have been affected...

AI bubble, baybeee!

QA is so undervalued in every goddamn sector, it seems.

Starting to feel like AI is the modern corporate version of Snake Oil, sold to these idiot corporations under the implied promise of efficiency and saving money. AI for sure can help with code debugging but objectively assessing a games flaws and hiccups? Nope.

AI bubble, baybeee!

QA is so undervalued in every goddamn sector, it seems.

I worked at EA as tech support and CQC testing from 99-01. We had one of our quarterly meetings where the CEO was going on about record profits and how it was due to everyone on top all the way down to tech support who made it happen.

After the meeting, someone sent out an all company email asking how tech support and testing contributed as they don't even bring in any revenue.

Fire 'em all > shit goes tits up > hire some back (at starter wages) > shit slowly gets better > give a modest pay increase > things going alright (too alright) > fire 'em all > shit goes tits up...
