Square Enix Wants More Games Like Heavy Rain

Thriller Heavy Rain has a fan in Yoichi Wada, the guy who runs Square Enix. That company churns out Final Fantasy games. In a recent interview with game magazine Famitsu, Imperial Hot says he’s recently played the thriller. His thoughts?

“It would be good if they made more games like Heavy Rain,” said the exec about the game which is heavy on the quick time events.

Say, Square Enix makes games. They could make a game like Heavy Rain! And they could call it “Tumultuous Precipitation ~ Excelsior ~ Versus Partly Cloudy 30/351 Precipitation”. Just imagine the zippers on the raincoats!

        What he said was as incoherant as Square Enix’s plotlines.

    Hire some decent writers first SE. FFXIII had some of the worst dialogue and storytelling I’ve ever experienced in a game.

    I think much like Twilight / Harry Potter, FFXIII has been written with teenagers in mind. But so were many of the other FF games, it’s just now we’re old and think we deserve every game to be catered to us. If I were younger I could probably fit all the plot holes up with imagination goo. I had to do it for FF1-FF9 in my teenage years.

    Maybe I’m just bordering on archaic thinking but maybe it’s time to stop playing kids games and expecting an adult narrative.
