In my country we say ajajajajajjjj
Remember when square used to make great games?
That was Squaresoft, not Square Enix.
I loved Enix’s Ogre Battle and Square’s Final Fantasy 6 and 7. How could putting the companies together make a bad?!
Square Ewwwwnix
My memory failed me. Thanks for the correction.
I’m just shocked any publisher is still doing QA at all, with the state AAA games release in these days.
That’s why they want 70% QA from AI. Because right now their games are only 10% QA tested.
30% of the the QA team will be working at 300% capacity - can you guess which 30%
It’s your funeral
Be prepared for Square Enix games to fail even EA’s QA standards in the near future 😅
Oh. Gross.
So their games will cost 70% less right?
Was gonna make a post with this article but this is related so I’ll drop it here instead.
“Square Enix is laying off more developers in the UK and US as it refocuses on Japan The publisher has expressed interest in replacing development roles with AI”
Chrono Trigger remake, first all AI development, because we live in the bad timeline.
spits
it’s a bit late in the game to be making idiotic claims but I guess the default state for corpos is being out of touch
Their games going to be shit 🤣
A lot of hate in the comments but IMO this is one of the few things that LLMs are actually really good for. It’s a shit job nobody wants to do that LLMs are really good at. Notice that they said 70% and not 100%. Yeah that means they’re probably going to have 30 people doing the work that 100 people used to do but people are still in the picture overseeing things. Automation isn’t, by itself, bad. The bad part is that our whole society is built on the idea that your entire value as a person is based on being able to work and make money and job loss is way worse than it should be.
70% by what metric?
Is that going by bugs identified, fixes implemented, headcount?
So… im a big supporter of squeenix, buy everything they make… but this tells me the quality of their games is going to go down the toilet. Knowing AI it’ll come up with fake lists of bugs that didn’t happen and all the real bugs will not be listed and they’ll release the buggies shit. One thing I LIKE about square, being one of the few companies I do pre-orders from still, is that their products are fairly bug free on launch FFXVI had some graphics optimization issues, but I’ve been happy with most of what I got the past few years.
FFXIV saved them and they don’t ever put any money back into the game. It’s their cash cow that pays for all their other bad ideas.
Great graphics and legacy. But some crappy ideas about what the players want.
Look at their payment systems for subs. It’s so confusing for no damn reason.
Believe it or not FFXI was even MORE confusing to sub
Moment for silence for David “Ribs” Carillo 🪦
