Template:Spira I would accept I am no expert on managing a games company and sell the company for £X million. 79.69.196.120 20:07, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

		Owning SE doesn't always mean that you can just make a game...or at least make a game that's good. If I owned SE, first thing is investigate the usual workings of a SE CEO, finding elements from our games that people like and attempt something like a spin-off or a new game that has elements of SE's best works. That and find ways to make a good TWEWY sequel.

I'd order them to make a Chrono sequel. </forum> LC 10:03, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

		I would outright stop making any Final Fantasy games and focus the company's attention on things that actually have a future. Don't get me wrong, I love Final Fantasy, but I don't even know if you can call it that any more. When Sakaguchi left halfway through Final Fantasy X, the company just couldn't reach that standard that VI through to X raised the series to. Not only that, but Square Enix is wasting more time on pumping out mediocre games or spin offs that, yes, makes them a lot of money - but overall they could have been spending their time on improving other things like Kingdom Hearts rather than flogging the dead horse of Final Fantasy. If they stopped making Final Fantasy games they'd still make a crapload of money from selling merchandise anyway. Take Star Wars for example; the last movie was made seven years ago and George Lucas is still rolling in cash.

		If I was the Supreme Overlord and Head Pontiff™ of Square Enix, who can make them do whatever I want, I'd... Keep the company safe financially by releasing a bunch of terrible FFVII sequel-minigames and remake. Minigames don't take long to make, but if they're heavy on advertising they can bring in some good cash. Never mind the fact that they will be terrible, it means nothing. Fire Toriyama. I'm not exactly sure he makes all that much of a difference, but he really really hurts the company's image. Because they've been as bad as Yahtzee when it comes to non-Pokemon JRPGs, refuse to deal with Nintendo. Hitting them in the pocketbook might do something. Sort out all those abandoned games. Whatever happened to Type-0 in English? vXIII? Fortress? At least tell the public they've been abandoned! After that, drop FF altogether and take Mateus' sugggestion. Other than the terrible sequel-minigames (see point 1). That pretty much will keep SE alive forever. Finally, create Chrono Break. Because Chrono is <3

Things I would do....

1. Make the current CEO personally write apology letters to EVERYONE who dropped out at Square, including Koishii Ito of Mana, Yasumi Matsuo of Ivalice and Vagrant Story, Sakaguchi himself and Mistwalker, and EVERYONE under his rule since he started, then publicly air: If he shows signs of authentic remorse, his official resignation and apology to the people, or if he still shows signs of a spineless and heartless bastard, make him commit seppuku in front of all of Japan to see.
2. Give back ownership to franchise creators and their official rights to make games of their creative properties, in turn allowing to help them in return with publishing or co production.
3. Divulge money into the revival of Quintet and merge, while maintaining creative flexibility and rights, allowing the acquisition of the Soulblazer series and many older titles that can be revived in times to come, as well as fund creators with new and plentiful ideas and things to come.
4. Fund money into project to develop a processing system that maintains high edge cutting graphics without making people work to their marrow to achieve such standards. That, or help inspire fun and entertaining, as well as challenging and competitive gameplay in tandem with the level of talent the company has.
5. Make Vagrant Story 2, Brave Fencer Musashi 2: Apology Edition, Front Mission, Parasite Eve 4, Live-A-Live 2, another Mana game, Valkyrie Profile 3, fund the Tri Ace guys, The World Ends with You 2, even another Bouncer, and a probable many others on my mind that can't be grasped at the moment. Also create a Best of Squaresoft, Enix, and Quintet bundle edition like Sega and Capcom had, containing their best games that define what and who they are in the games industry, as well as what they can do.
6. Allow creators to create complete ending games to their series, allowing them to leave things in peace as well as create memories.

I also have a lot more on my mind but I'm just too freakin excited to concentrate. >w< Mask no Oni 21:37, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
