Extra Future[Apparently an alpha version][link], I’ve been waiting for this since Square Enix [cease-and-desisted the project][cease] a few weeks ago. Again, way to drop the ball, Square.

[Hey, Square, having a fan base that LOVES your stuff so much they’re willing to put in their own work and time (hundreds of hours) on what amounts to FREE PROMOTION for it][link]? That’s not a problem. That’s an incredible gift that you just shit on. Again.
They had another opportunity like this a few years ago, on a little project called [Chrono Resurrection][res].
How many creators out there would give a not insignificant portion of their reproductive organs to have fans that care that much?
