Free it from the shackles of Apple. Do it.

Free it from the shackles of Apple. Do it.

Praise be unto Gaben for he may deliver unto us JRPGS from the lands of propriety, nonsense, and greed.

Or whatever. Fuck Apple.

Free it from the shackles of Apple. Do it.

I mean here ya go.



It's been a weird day...

Well Square-Enix has its own official announcement trailer that says it's coming out for everything at the same time this winter. I guess Nintendo just got first bite.

ok that one guy is just straight-up vincent valentine tho

S-E publishing this feels so damn weird. That said, least I'll actually be able to check it out now since I dig the diorama aesthetic. I also wonder what the price will be, since iirc, Apple Arcade was $5/mo, so if you already ponied up into that storefront, this game didn't run you much to beat. S-E sure as hell is not releasing anything for under $30 at the minimum.

I mean, its not like they don't have a great working relationship.

[BWYuko]

Only since Gooch stanned FF14 for 500 straight days and became Yoshi-P's bff.

But we all know the history. Mistwalker exists to not be Square Enix. I guess it's a little surreal that it's been 20 years and actually came full circle.

[Lucavi]

The big takeaway that both companies hopefully have learned is to stop restricting your fucking games onto specific platforms if you actually want to achieve the sales figures you want. You ain't Nintendo. You ain't a console and game developer. You make games, and only games. Your games must be on places where people can purchase them, and want to purchase them. Enough platform exclusivity... or you can suffer from lower sales.

It'll be nice to finally be able to pick this game up; I've been wanting to see how that Dungeon encounter capture mechanic worked for myself.

It's fun from what I played. Got a free subscription for Apple Arcade when I got the new iPad (which I really need to cancel). Played that and the Castlevania gacha-turned-free game Grimoire of Souls (which also needs to come off Apple Arcade, ugh).
