Destroyed Square-Enix Offices Pop Up In The 3rd Birthday
The 3rd BirthdayIf you're bitter about the direction Square-Enix has taken as a game maker, we have a little end-of-the-year gift for you.
It seems the company isn't beyond poking fun at themselves, or including a virtual image of their demolished office buildings in The 3rd Birthday for the PSP. If you check Siliconera, you will find an image of what the Square-Enix offices look like after being ravaged by nasties. Of course, the Parasite Eve series is set in New York and S-E doesn't have any offices there but then again, as the article states, there's no rampaging mystery virus, either. At least, not that we know of. Square-Enix continues to take flak this generation for morphing into an unrecognizable - and decidedly less fulfilling - version of the old RPG king, Squaresoft. Sadly, they don't appear to be in a position to right the ship any time soon, and they continue to leave a trail of disgruntled one-time fans in their wake. Therefore, such a pic might touch some deep, dark part of ourselves that wouldn't mind so much if the offices just sorta disappeared...
Aw, we don't mean that. If anything, I think we all believe Square-Enix still has a core of quality that, if tapped correctly, will once again yield something memorable.

And the joke's on Wada in 3rd Birthday too...
The development team on The 3rd Birthday put a silly Easter Egg in the PSP game poking fun at the CEO of Square Enix, Yoichi Wada.
Yoichi Wada, CEO, appears in the PSP game as a "business strategy author".
There’s a book in the game titled "Tomorrow of Mankind" by Yoichi W., a business administration book about "job turnovers".
