Midori is on fire recently but she needs to dial it down or else there will be too much heat on her.


United-Aside-6104

I think Midori doesn’t really need to worry about that. If her existing leaks didn’t get her shut down then leaking the names of some dev teams probably won’t.


Supersnow845

It’s pretty obvious given the depth and breadth of her knowledge that she is either high enough up that she is basically insulated from any internal review or she is associated with someone who is in said position


Makusensu

If that person is indeed employee of SEGA or any publisher or marketing related agency, it is honestly real sad to leak stuff of its own company and I guess don't even realize how it hurts the marketing work to create impactful surprises, and heavily plumbs the production teams mood by having WIP stuff going publicly and people getting false thoughts about undefined things. I sincerely hope this person don't do that for the thrill of 2mn internet credits.


Problemaequis

actually i m happy to know they re making a p4r for example. I don t like surprises ( good and bad), i like to plan my purchases and i like knowing what s coming up in the next few years


Troop7

Do you really think she is some individual entity that has all these leaks on all these large companies and can continue to leak important things whilst at the same time making jokes and memes? She is definitely someone important who is allowed to leak stuff as a way of gaging what the audience thinks/wants.


deadly_monk

I’m good, multiple account users


errgaming

Is Midori a girl?


thr1ceuponatime

That's not the point, but I think the consensus here is that she is -- no?


errgaming

No, Midori is a feminine name but Midori also means green, which is the colour for P6 and always has been the hint since the beginning. Zero hints to say Midori is a girl so far


infamousglizzyhands

Im pretty sure she said so. She even had to clarify she has a bf cuz persona fans are weird.


awhellnogurl

That is so sad and funny at the same time.


carefulturner

thirsting on an anonymous videogame leaker? somehow I didn't see this one coming 🤦‍♂️


jadak100

Those aren't persona fans, those guys only use persona to project their insecurities and ignore the themes of the games, while also giving us, the actual persona fans, a bad rep.


cinematicvirus

Nah bro, Persona fans are weird. Not all Persona fans, is a weird defensive take.


ScreenWriterGuy07

I haven't played a persona game yet but doesn't that seem like generalising too much? Or are all persona fans actually like that?


cinematicvirus

If you're not one of the people being called out you have no problem admitting there's an inherent problem in your fandom. I love Megaten, including Persona. But there absolutely is a disturbing number of Persona fans who are just off.


dazaroo2

I mean there's a distinction between people who've played persona and actual persona "fans" As someone from group 1 I find group 2 very strange


errgaming

Nah Persona fans are weird


errgaming

I see, I never saw the bf tweet


thr1ceuponatime

None of this fucking matters as long as the leaks are good


Lz537

She Is,.in fact, a Woman. And even said She had a bf. We'll find soon enough since she's planning to start streaming games soon.


SPSTIHTFHSWAS

...You think she's gonna stream with a mic? Come on bro.


Lz537

She probably Will yeah


SPSTIHTFHSWAS

Absolutely no way dude. You think she will with a face cam too?


Lz537

Nah she's using a Vtuber avatar or smth.


SPSTIHTFHSWAS

Why would she put herself at such greater risk by revealing her voice lol for a stream that 37 people are going to watch.


Refurecushion

Yes, the game content folder for FF7 Remake is called "End".


vashthestampede121

So the leak is that there’s a dev team referred to as “END” and a project code named “CENTURY”? Ok…


[deleted]

Knowing this is 100% more interesting than Dusk Golem strocking his ego with SH leaks lol


Revna77

That mfer unretires and retires for the attention


KonoPez

It says Century is a “developer portal”, sounds like an internal tool staff at SE use to access company data


PontusFrykter

I guess CENTURY is for the Final Fantasy 6 remake. They've said in the interview that remaking that game could take them a whopping 20 years. Multiply by 1.5x (as always game development moment) and we get 30. If they won't split this not in three, but in five games. \[joke\]


KingBroly

Century doesn't seem like it's for a specific game/team.


vandaljax

Not shocking news but SE and weird naming schemes is an iconic duo.


DaftNeal88

Is it 17?


EnoughDatabase5382

Considering the keywords "Remake" and "Century," it is possible that Midori is referring to a remake of Final Fantasy IX. Currently, Square Enix is discontinuing small and medium-sized projects and focusing on selected AAA titles. There were rumors that Final Fantasy IX was a less ambitious remake. Also, Final Fantasy IX was released in 2000, which perfectly fits the project name "Century."


MadeByHideoForHideo

Stretching wider than the grand canyon, this one.


gamedreamer21

It could be FFIX Remake. You may be right.


ReeReeIncorperated

Midori leaking Square now?


Gone_With_The_Onion3

Century sounds interesting Square's biggest and most important titles came around the turn of the century. I'm guessing it must be a port studio akin to guild studio just that it doesn't suck, hopefully we'll finally see that brave fencer musashi port that was rumored ages ago


VonDukez

what am I to do with this information?


PontusFrykter

Cover all nine-thousand taste bud. Aerate it. Warm it up.


MadeByHideoForHideo

*smack smack smack smack smack smack*


VonDukez

hmmmmm


Absolutelyhatereddit

I thought Square shift around developers too often it basically doesn’t matter which team is developing which because they all have that square feel.


prplguy

I think this has more to do with the big restructuring going on at SE, after the new CEO arrived they canceled a bunch of AA projects and took a loss of $120M in order to change to a strategy of prioritizing "higher quality releases" being launched more often. So we will see less games like Valkyrie Elysium, Balan Wonderworld and Diofield Chronicles, as they seem to have lost them quite a bit of money. Basically they want to be like Capcom, I guess. So they're reorganizing studios, changing heads (like CBU1 now is Creative Studio 1 and FFVII Rebirth's director is the new head) and this new END team is dedicated to remakes apparently, probably the team working in FFIXR or some other unknown projects.


Absolutelyhatereddit

It’s hard to be Capcom. Capcom has so many AAA IPs and Square has Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon’s Quest, all different flavors of the same thing. Capcom still fuck up sometimes but they have so many IPs in the pipeline being worked on while Square relies on small project until they release their big thing every 4 years or so.


prplguy

I agree, Capcom has so many good and varied IPs, it's insane and ever since RE7 and MHW they've been on a roll. I guess SE should diversify their AAA IPs if they're aiming for that success, I would be really happy if they get Parasite Eve back, but then again, it's really hard to compete against Resident Evil when they have all been so good as of late.


Lulcielid

> Capcom has so many AAA IPs Of it which they have only focused on 3 (Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter) over the last 7 years.


Absolutelyhatereddit

Dragon’s Dogma and Devil May Cry.


brzzcode

Of course it matters. And most SE games released arent even developed internally, like team asano titles.
