Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Those Japanese and their wacky sense of honor. I'd say it's pretty understandable that Square had a net loss this quarter, considering they're pumping a lot of money into projects, and they haven't released a game since FF9.
