Square Enix seeks answers after rejection by Tecmo, gets none
Imagine Square Enix's proposed takeover of Tecmo as a high school "romance." In it, Square is the suave campus hunk who professes his burning desire for Tecmo, the hottie who could have any guy (or girl) she wanted. But Tecmo not only shoots down the advance, she decides to "go out" with the scrawny, less attractive Koei instead.
She won't say why or even return Square's calls.
Square turns around and says, "Under such circumstances, the Company is unable to make appropriate modifications to major terms of the Proposal including the TOB price, and determines that it is extremely difficult to continue the discussions with Tecmo based on the Proposal. The Company, therefore, has decided to withdraw from the Proposal."
Blank stares.
"What I'm trying to say is I'm withdrawing my proposal to take you over," Square tells Tecmo, working his idea of emo for all its worth. Tecmo just smiles and says, "Hee! You're funny! Bye-eee!"
The End?

When the Square/Techmo news first came out, I thought that this was kind of an impulse buy on Square's part. To bad though, the studio might have been able to crank out some interesting JRPG's.

Square Enix are doing good enough for themselves alone. Screw Tecmo
Anybody know why Square wants Tecmo so badly?

Awwwww. :( I was hoping for a turn based Ninja Gaiden :(

You can make it turn based yourself. Hold down block, then wait for enemy to strike. After they strike you then proceed to strike yourself.

Well, I assume someone (maybe everyone) at Tecmo has played FFxi. Mayhaps Squeenix's offer of Leaping Boots and Emperor Pins didn't fly.
Recent first time player of FFxi...My life as I knew it pre-FFxi is over.../weep
0/15 Leaping (f'n) Lizzard

I was really hoping they'll make Dead Fantasy as a game...
