GRIN Founders Say Square Enix Incited Their Smiles Upside Down

"We longed for to advance in and change Final Fantasy, that is precisely what they need," the brothers told Sweden's Aftonbladet in a widespread essay on the passing of the once-mighty studio. "The ultimate chronicle sucks of course." After working on Fortress for Square Enix for 6 months without reception any payment, the college of music simply couldn't means to stay open.

Square Enix, for its part, introduced clearly unfit restrictions on the smoothness of milestones. At a point, GRIN was destined to broach its ethics to Japan around fax. Bo Andersson told Aftonbladet, "It is as ridiculous as it sounds. It is an unfit requirement, you can not send ascii or binary codes on the fax. It is backward. Really retarded. It was roughly a crook activity." To make counts worse, Andersson claims that Square Enix then mentioned the milestones were not being sent to the correct person and instead should have been sent to the authorised department.

The Andersson brothers indicate that Square Enix had already made up its thoughts that Fortress wasn't a plan it longed for anymore. "Nothing seemed great enough. Square did not think any more that the Nordic type matched Final Fantasy," the Anderssons said. To assessment their hypothesis, they sent over process art from Square Enix's own Final Fantasy XII , to that Japan responded, "It does not look similar to Final Fantasy."

While many one-time GRIN staffers landed at studios similar to Fatshark, others shaped their own outfits, similar to MightDelight , Outbreak Studios , and Whiteout . The Anderssons, however, have been hard at work on a new studio, a with a important change: It won't be contingent on large publishers. They'll be at E3 next week display off their new project, so design to pick up more about it - and more about the passing of GRIN - then.
