Not sure it's workin' out anymore. They've been in their remake/remaster phase for a decade now. Rebirth sold like ass. XIV was the only thing keeping them fiscally afloat, key word being "was".
All they've got left is Dragon Quest XII, which despite being the most generic, copy-pasted franchise with zero ingenuity or effort behind any of its technical or creative elements, is taking fifteen years to release. And Spirits Within 2. Which hopefully tanks them for good, cause holy shit I can not think of a company (and their fanbase) that have done more harm to the medium.
Fuck it, they'll probably surprise announce Final Fantasy X made in UE5 and that'll sell 30,000,000 units in 24 hours despite Tidus being bogged and Lulu looking like a ghoul.

Full disclosure, I don't even care about FF having 10-20 hours of cutscenes/dialogue, I just wish the gameplay inbetween was actually worth a damn. And maybe, JUST MAYBE, the player having some involvement in the story/world. You know, like an RPG.
How the fuck is this series not considered a visual novel? It's got the gameplay of a big budget WEG. Shit, even the animations and visuals are just as janky nowadays.
