Could this be a sign that the video game industry be heading for a second crash?

...no, it's a sign that Japanese developers don't really know how to adapt.

What's been Squares problem is plain and simple.. Their past few games have sucked; very very very very very badly.. Nier was a boring adventure game IMO not deserving of being called a RPG.. Infinite Undiscovery was ok, but it felt extremley dated (still probably their best RPG release this gen IMO.) Last Remnant was shot down by every reviewer because of its frame rate and glitch issues, though i hear its a very fun game to play on the p/c as it's not bogged down with things like that.. FFXIII was decent IMO but still very linear and at times just plain boring.. I don't even need to get into FFXIV which most consider the biggest MMO blunder of all times.

Lets just face it.. Square Enix is not what they used to be.. I agree they need to come with some original IP's; but please atleast make them interesting.

One might argue that they don't put as much effort into other games as they do FF.

I support that argument. FF is their cash cow, and they milk it for all that it's worth. They advertise other games, but if there's a new FF then there is no escaping the advertisements.
