It’s the dawn of a new era for Square Enix, but president Yoichi Wada still has time for a bit of self-reflection. Speaking with Gamesindustry.biz, he took a moment to look in the mirror and comment on what he perceives to be the publisher’s problems.
Asked whether Square Enix wants the public to have more trust in the quality of Eidos products, Wada said, “Yes – that’s what I hope to achieve for the entire group. But we at Square Enix also have a problem – it takes too long for us to produce a game.”
“In reality I think the issues we have are basically the same. On one side you might say that because of the budgetary constraints they released the games without having the games polished to perfection, but on the other side we take too long to release the game.”
