In 1980, he was murdered by a Christian fan of the Beatles, Mark David Chapman, who later cited Lennon’s quote as one of his possible motives in the killing.
One of the first games I remember being genuinely freaked out by. RE remakes are killing it. Silent Hill 2 remake is hugely anticipated. Parasite Eve’s time is coming.
I don’t think logo design is enough to claim they have lost their “soul”. Aren’t Bravely Default, Octoparh Traveler, and Triangle Strategy pretty well liked and reviewed? And have some cool innovations on narrative and mechanics?
I won’t say that the logo design and naming convention isn’t off-putting, but it only reflects a current style, not the games themselves.
Everything on the left prior to 2003 (which looks like everything on there other than Dragon Quest IIRC) was just SquareSoft. They began going downhill in the spring of 2003 when they actually merged with Enix.
IMO, Dragon Quest is the only game Enix made that was actually worth a shit and it still paled in comparison to the likes of Final Fantasy. It sucks that instead of Square elevating Enix, it just feels like Enix drug Square down.
Also, wtf is “Various Daylife?” That one sounds more like it could be a competitor to The Sims and not a JRPG. lol
I think your opinion on Dragon Quest might be a bit unpopular. Its a very popular franchise in Japan specifically and I have personally always liked it better than Final Fantasy.
The names are terrible too. Bravely default was decently enjoyable but octopath traveller being stupidly expensive and not very enjoyable after trying it has made me not bother with every other game name printed in that title template.
Pretty meh meme, the latest ones are all the same dev team while the older ones are different teams with very different projects. Just look at the recent Mana game announcement, or KH4, etc. Kind of misleading for the sake of rousing up people.
Just feels… a bit “Kids these days…”, ya know. Darn millennials and their simple fonts.
All logos here are made artificially monochrome (ebay, Google still remain coloured, etc.). Revolut has broken its R into 2 pieces in 2023. AirBnB and Microsoft logos include now their symbols, not only wordmarks (and they are omitted in this image). Spotify still uses its "beams".
Yes, some brands went (more) bland - especially Pinterest, Google and ebay.
For fashion: Burberry has returned to its knight in 2023. And some fashion brands go against this trend - 2017 Zara wordmark is more complicated than before.
BTW, even on this image I can see, that former Revolut and AirBnB logos look like knock-overs of each other. Both used even shades of blue xd
I was so obsessed with FFVII and so really hyped for the upcoming FFVIII I bought Brave Fencer Musashi mostly because it came with a FFVIII demo disc.
Funny thing, FFVIII ended up disappointing me, and Brave Fencer Musashi grew on me quite a bit; I still give it a playthrough every couple of years. Even bought the sequel but that one didn’t quite have the same charm.
