Press S

Should have stuck to their base and made good JRPGs instead of regressively chasing the westoid market. They should probably start by shitcanning that nothing yoship

>>713633994 (OP)
I'm still not sure how they fucked up XIV. They had a golden goose money printer, all they had to do was to not ruin all the jobs for no reason, and yet...

>>713633994 (OP)
>Final Fantasy XIV is dying
Sucked dick after Shadowbringers anyway
>Rebirth and XVI flopped hard
They're both terrible action slop. Just play the og ff7
>Kingdom Hearts IV and DQXII are never releasing
Kingdom Shit isnt good. Only the first game had soul. DQ12 should die immediately, no one wants action combat
>TWEWY is dead
Neo just flat out sucked. Just play the DS game and assume the franchise died after that

Explain why. Because I can, and its not the good news you think it is.

>>713635202
Okay, but how does the stock price make my video game better?

>>713635265
That's right. SE is becoming successful despite how bad its become. It's even better, because they don't need their old fans. Their new ones are paying out the ass for their new garbage games.

They make the most uneven releases in major JP publishing history. For instance
>Bravely Default HD Remaster
is Shitch 2 exclusive for some stupid as fuck reason at the moment, instead of having Bravely Default and Bravely Second both remastered and released on Steam prior to Bravely Default 2. Same thing with
>TWEWY Final Mix
Where NEO, a direct continuation of the narrative from the original, was first Epic Store exclusive and faceplanted, then came to Steam to midding sales at best. Why would they ever think this was a good idea to NOT bring TWEWY Final Mix to PC first before NEO arrived? Sure, some small percentage of hardcore fans who will go out of their way to emulate one version or another (with Final Mix the only one with additional story content) but fuck come on now, you could have gotten a lot more sales from people exposed to Final Mix if it was ported to PC before Neo.

How they continue to shoot themselves in the dick like this, I'll never know.

>>713634275

>>713636083
Yawnfail has CE and OC which even though they're shit compared to their predecessors are at least things to do, so it's above EW by default which had jack and shit besides Island Sanctuary.

But you're right, even if they still owned it they wouldn't do it because they're too cucked by western activists

>>713637165
>they fell for the global audience Jew tactic

>>713637165
The western market liked their games to begin with because they were Japanese. When will they learn that catering more towards Western players is a tactic that 9/10 times ends up alienating their existing fanbases while not attracting the Western fanbase they were looking to get.

As long as it isn't some weird real time shit like FF on ps1 and ps2, I just enjoy all of them, but I'll admit most devs end up fucking up what would be the most simple and foolproof combat system that exists.

>>713645135
Their operating income fucking tanked during the quarter XVI released. You know, the one where it sold that 3 million in a week. The game cost a lot to produce as hinted at by Yoshida in interviews, that once expenses were written off the revenue from that week of strong sales wasn't enough to cover the costs. It might make back the money in the long term, but with zero sales update in two years who knows how its been doing.

>Yoshida-san: I have such respect for the development team for seeing it through to the end and completing development of the game and respect for Square Enix for approving this budget (laughs).
Naoki Yoshida would not be thanking SE for approving the games budget if it only cost them a measly $57 million. If anything SE would be thanking him for keeping the budget that low, not the other way around.

>>713636114
>telling you it's bad to hide from the grimness of reality in creature comforts
That's not what it says though, it says it's bad to deny the grimness of reality and sacrifice your own future just to prolong a comfortable and complacent state of existence. It says the exact opposite about creature comforts, it says those are the things that make the struggle bearable (so long as, again, you're not fucking up your own or someone else's future to acquire them).

>>713647079
It's clear that Anon made up those numbers, he hasn't got any source or proof for what he's saying, he's full of shit.

>>713646852
NTA but it’s 3.5 million plus whatever it sold on Xbox
https://s.kabutan.jp/news/n202503130535/
They get $30 for every copy sold (rough estimate), that would be $105 million in revenue. Not a lot but it’s technically a profit. I assume investors expected a 10+ million copy seller, which is retarded considering it was sold early in the console’s life span. It “bombed” like Bloodborne “bombed”.

Which doesn't state anywhere in the article how much FF16 cost to make or how many units it sold because why would it the article was made BEFORE the game was released.

Well deserved

>>713647253
Venat makes no bloody sense. How did Ancients ignored the grimness of reality? Creating means to solve a problem is somehow ignoring the problem? How does that make sense? How is making your life comfortable taking away your future? Making sure you survive into the future means you have no future? The weight of Venat's argument lies solely on testimony of a easily depressed familiar. The only reason why we think Ancients would fall is because Yoshi said so in a one-off interview. That remark of his is on the same level as Star Wars plot points being explained via tweets. If that doesn't raise any alarms in you then you're hopeless.

>>713647783
That article says it “exceeded 10 billion yen”, which just means it cost over $59 million approximately. Hardly anything concrete to use.

>>713647495
Point out where it lists in the article 4.5million unit sales on a budget of $57million and $33million on marketing

I want to bring your attention to the article was written
>2023/01/06 17:18
The game was released
FF16 released 2023/22/06

So now that I've proven beyond any doubt you're full of shit.

What? That’s not what I’m even implying, that article gives us a reference for the budget. The sales were posted here >>713647357

>>713648772
Firstly the article is just that, it's an opinion piece it's not authortative and doesn't show any source for the speculation on the numbers for the development cost of FF16, in plain English he made it up and you ran with that.

Secondly you originally said FF16 sold 4.5million units and the post you linked here
>>713647357
Is listing 3.5million units sold, that's 1million less.
If I were you I'd think on what you want to say before posting.

(*The original article stated that the number of copies of "Final Fantasy XVI" was stated by Square Enix HD President Takashi Kiryu during the financial results briefing, but this was based on Toyo Securities' own estimate and was an incorrect statement by the author. We apologize and would like to make the correction.) Search this part in the article linked above they edited it.

Dawntrail met sales expectations which is an indication of faith in the team, not an indication of Dawntrail's quality. Opinion has been rapidly dropping and people have been leaving. Arcadion has been received very well, but that alone isn't enough to stem the bleeding. Occult Crescent was supposed to carry the expansion as midcore content and they dropped the ball. I was there grinding Chemist earlier and nobody was in Phantom Village, the OC instance was close to full but only around 10 people actually showed for CEs. And I play on a very populated Aether server.

FFXIV has a distinct writing problem: forcing you to tag along after hateable characters, or writing likeable characters then killing them off with zero closure. Westwolves timeline where you get to explore the New World with now-mortal Twelve companions? No, fuck you, choke down this trannycat.

>>713655142
Wait, huh?
I can see opinions on Dawntrail going up with 7.2, but was more people complete it?

>>713655601
It's just tough to commit to OC sometimes of just the same CEs over and over. Bozja had variety with the FATE chains and how different mobs had different drops.
But they homogenized it too much. All FATEs are just a single mini-boss, and all mobs just drop gold coins. And if everyone is max level you're just competing at two places, either Ascent in a party, or at the "stairs" northwest of the cave entrance (those eyeball birds you can pull like 15 of them for solo farm).
And knowing that 7.3 will allow 48-man instance queue, I'd rather do that and do half an hour of CEs until the tower run starts, instead of trying to get everyone together for half an hour.

They're placing a bet on Kiryu's plan to turn things around. This puts even more pressure on SE to deliver. If Yoshi-P can't turn things around with XIV, expect him to get the boot.
What, you actually thought DQ selling 2 million was the reason or something? That's been pretty much the only bright spot in a few years of SE. Certainly not their mobile games that keep getting shuttered. Certainly not XVI and Rebirth underperforming. Certainly not XIV that's in the middle of a crisis right now. This is why the stocks are going up.

I feel like I'm the crazy one for not giving a shit about the game. It's a sequel to a game that came out half my lifetime ago (at the time), and it doesn't have the hook of the series. I don't give a shit about the 30 spinoff games or the convoluted story.

No, Krile was the sassy one first but the devs forgot Y'shtola's actual personality so they had her randomly copy Matoya during 4.4 which took Krile's niche.

it's not up to yoship, he's just a businessman that does what he's told and tows the company line. People were surprised to hear him flatout admit the game had dropped in quality during the last LL but then a couple days later you have the CEO say the same thing, and it becomes clear. Yoship wasn't being candid and transparent with the playerbase, he was just throwing out the latest talking point the higher ups ok'd.
Yoship will just do what he's told to do, though this time he might be given an impossible task

Dragon Quest is a Nintendo franchise, people are butthurt to accept it but is the truth.

>>713633994 (OP)
>>Kingdom Hearts IV

This game has bigger problems than never releasing. I don't know how many of you are familiar with Kingdom Hearts but Square Enix has destroyed this series because they...

Ran out of Good Disney Media
Historically kept the gameplay inconsistent where only a few of the games have tight gameplay, for god's sake not even Ninja Gaiden has inconsistent gameplay
Story is objectively AWFUL doing all the famous bad cliches of fiction like time travel (look if Chrono Trigger did Time Travel decently than Kingdom Hearts used it horribly)

So whenever Kingdom Hearts 4 is released its going to fail because all of the above have shaved off the fans. And here's the kicker Disney's brand power has gone WAY down. Lots of people hate Disney these days especially after they destroyed Star Wars. And finally newcomers have a difficult time getting into Kingdom Hearts in general especially if they think the series to be cringe so I don't see Kingdom Hearts 4 selling great.

And you got to remember Kingdom Hearts has always been the WORST of Square Enix's pillar series. So naturally Kingdom Hearts 4 has a difficult uphill battle to even sell decent.

>>713662331
>No its not Disney at all, its all Nomura and his OC DONUT STEEL

And it doesn't help that Nomura's terrible at writing characterization and development for all his characters. I would argue Kingdom Hearts has terrible characters by majority. And if you don't believe me just look at what Nomura did to Cloud Strife's personality.

I do feel sorry for FFXIV players, but they let it happen by allowing Second Life modbeasts to reshape and warp the game's public identity so much. Just looking at screenshots from Stormblood compared to now and you can see the devolution. When you tolerate fujoniggers and leftroons, don't be surprised about catching fleas and EOS.

>>713664934
>allowing Second Life modbeasts to reshape and warp the game's public identity so much
how exactly could anyone stop them?

>>713664934
Nobody really cares about the modbeasts.

>>713665141
>Billboard drama
>Lalafell mod drama
>Alisae Ryne mod drama

So Square is literally doing the best it has in over 25 years, and that's them losing? You people are pathetic. Why are you like this?

Company has been restructured, acknowledgement that exclusivity isn't good, Rebirth sold better on PC than they expected, Rebirth mass acclaim, DQ remakes are an easy cash cow, especially now Switch 2 is out, BD IIRC was the 3rd best-selling Switch 2 game, trimming of the fat in regard to the AA games that get 0 advertising.

Lots of reasons tbհ.

Retarded second life niggers have no input on gamedev. This happened because Yoshida allowed westoid commiefornians into the gamedev and SE put Tracy Fullerton onto the board of directors. It has nothing to do with neckbeards jerking off to blow-up dolls.

>>713666646
SE having their NA office in California was such a mistake

>>713666695
I just find it ridiculous that someone would deflect the blame for this onto a bunch of weirdo perverts when the real rot is at the top of the company and it is easily verifiable seeing who they hired as a "consultant" for Dawntrail. This is who you blame for Dawntrail sucking ass. Kate Edwards of Geogrify, a company that, when googled, shows that its office is somewhere in fucking Arizona desert. They got financially defrauded by someone that was looking to earn money using identity politics and culture war as a coverup and their expansion tanked because the ideas of this creature were used to suggest as to how better develop the game and its narrative.

that one hurt. i had cash saved up irl to buy that day 1, but then the mtx was revealed

>>713672247
Was Babylon's Fall a Square Enix game? Or a Western shooter published by Square Enix?

>>713671838
>>713672247

>>713672247
I remember Babylon's Fall as the marketing had YoshiP proudly state that Platinum approached him and asked him kindly to help them and he gave them the assets to FFXIV for armour and gear which they used.
I played the demo I must have been 1 of only 100 to play it, and it was pretty shitty, I liked the concept but the actual gameplay, the game itself was so bad. Not surprising it flopped.

Developed by Platinum and published by Square Enix

>It received generally negative reviews from critics, and was a significant commercial failure for Square Enix, with the game only reaching a concurrent player count of less than 1,200 just after release day on the Steam platform and declining sharply afterwards.[2][3] Six months after the game's release, Square Enix announced that they would be ceasing support of the game's servers, which later shut down less than a year following its release, on February 27, 2023

>>713673413
I was really excited for it when they announced it and then it just came and went.

Yep download the psp emulator. It’s even available on phones. Best version of FF1 by the way. No idea why they threw out all that high-effort artwork in favor of that lazy wannabe “pixel” shit for the pc remasters.

>>713673596
>It just came and went
I think looking at the list of failed SE games that seems to be the trend they just come and are pretty mediocre, don't leave an impression and people forget about those games existing.
Except all those years of failures some of them pretty big titles will add up whether it be in cost or dev burn out but man SE need to really figure their shit out if they still want to be around for another 10 years, forget FFXIV being around for 10 years Square Enix won't be around for another 10 years as a games company the way they burn games.

>>713673545
Was it Digital only? Or did they include Physical copies?

>>713672247
>Valkyrie Elysium (2022)
Oh right I wanted to play that a while back.

>>713674071
It had both digital and physical on Playstation, digital only on PC.

>FFXIV dying
According to /v/ FFXIV has been dying for a fucking decade, its hard to take this claim ever seriously
>Rebirth and XVI flopped hard
No, just Rebirth sadly. XVI just did okay, nothing amazing or anything.
>Kingdom Hearts IV and DQXII are never releasing
Their own fucking fault, they won't release shot for years. Its always been Square-Enix's shitty problem, they wait too long and the generational consumers change
>TWEWY is dead
Overrated trash no one liked except Zoomers and If you cared you would have bought it

>>713650205
i'm sad that we will never see more games with that kind of gameplay, but at least we kinda got closure in neo until they shit out a new final remix where they kill neku again

>>713639559
faglus gives all the money they make (not much since metaflop barely sold 2 million) to segay.

>>713675646

and it will be doing so for a decade longer

is being a group-bee still a thing?

20% player drop rate per major patch in this expac.
It's now at levels pre-wowfugee exodus. Levels from like 6 years ago, with those 6 being their largest growth period.
As somebody that played since 1.0, it's actually fucking dead and living on inertia and cope now. It's sad to see.

>>713676016
no. now you need to be that one pudding bitch's hanger on

>>713676101
>It's now at levels pre-wowfugee exodus
wow... that's crazy
wild
i'm shocked

>>713676101
No, dead is when you started playing it.
Which was like.. 20% of what it currently is?

He was right about there being only 20k players left

>>713676338
>No, dead is when you started playing it.
So I guess every Closed Beta is a dead game?
Cool.

>>713676163
but i disagree with sugar riot's political stances. but i am impressed she developed pictomancy by herself

>>713676449
you're being evasive

>>713676518
That arrogant retard genuinely got high off his own supply at fanfests and acted like he could do no wrong. The japs hate trannies even more than western players do.

The fish rots from the head downward.

>>713676539
It's called pedantry, thanks.
Yes, I've been playing that long, yes 1.0 was a bit shitty but had potential if they wanted to finish all the half baked crap from rushing it out the door. Server closing shenanigans during Dalamud's fall was fun.
2.0-4.x was good, 5.x showed the rot had set in fully. 6.x was a good end to the saga but plagued by yet more rot. 7.x doesn't even have msq to excuse itself with like before.

>>713676887
>It's called pedantry
It sure is.

Only 1 good FF game has been released in the past 20 years.

>>713676518
Are we supposed to be upset that he doesn't want you schizos sending death threats to staff?

>>713663136
Honestly both companies were better before the merger, instead of becoming greater than the sums of their parts they shat the bed

It's been over a decade since 2014, no one's falling for that FUD shit anymore.

>>713677000
>death threats
So seek legal action against those?
Oh wait, it makes for a convenient excuse to dismiss any criticism and lets you continue to bury your heads int he sand.
Nevermind, carry on.

>>713677139
nobody was doing that retard
you saw them doing something about death threats and went "AAAAAH THAT COULD BE MEEE AAAa SQUARE POZZED SQUARE POZZED SNOWFLAKES KEKS LEFTOIDS"
maybe think about what you're doing if you get to that point, ragepiggy

>>713677000
>staff
Troons aren't human.

>>713676945
no one cares about your flopshit.

>>713677139
you have individuals in this very thread that sit on 4chan all day waiting to manually post folders of pictures to pwn the devs. its not so hard to believe there's people like that in japan who would do something stupid irl given the opportunity

>>713677228
please do it
give them a reason to pursue you lmao. we'll all be laughing

>>713677000

You've drifted so far away from the concept of normalcy you probably belong in a loonie bin for the safety of all and yourself.

>>713677356
>you probably belong in a loonie bin for the safety of all and yourself.
You can say that about just about every poster who spends their every waking second folderdumping and sperging out about Square, or YoshiP, or FF7R, or FFXVI, or FFXIV.
A dangerous lack of medication.

>>713677356
xivcucks are bootlickers too. unsurprising

>>713677356
Death threats are legally actionable.
If you actually do that, it's a deterrent.
Fuck around and find out goes both ways.

>>713677486
when you lick boots by implying that employees shouldn't get death threats (my feelings are very hurt)

>>713676518
>>713677000
Where was Naoki Yoshida when Susan Calloway the singer of Answers was getting death threats sent to her by troons?

>>713677342
Square Enix offices have multiple securites. If you want to kyoani somebody they have to be a poorfag company with 0 security like faglus.

>>713677486
>saar you are licking the boot saar you are doing the boot redeem benchod i will threat the dead of your bluddy mudder saar
What did he mean by this?

>>713677550
Oh wait, I forgot you guys think "kys" is a death threat.

>>713677486
>I should be able to intimidate and/or harm people because they are working for a big corporation and finding that abnormal is bootlicking
Very commie-minded sentiment, anon.

>>713634275
>DQ12

ARE THEY FUCKING RETARDED? THE QUIESSENTIAL TURN BASED RPG GOT TRANNIFIED INTO SOME MEDIOCRE ACTIOON COMBAT?

>>713677000
You went awfully quiet after this

>>713667319
>She
Kate Edwards is, actually, a man. He was a known individual back in the days of old Gamergate. Even then people thought he was a woman, until it was eventually discovered he's a tranny when he's pre-transition photos were found. He's been a tranny for well over a decade now. I'm only shocked he and his company Geogrify (which he was a leading member of even back THEN) are still around.

>>713677812
Because they don't actually care about the game or the people who made it what it is, they just want to turn it into a failed leftist hellscape. Tbf they already succeeded in doing that.

>>713677768
It's always hilarious how you fucks try and use your opponent's lexicon but fail miserably.
Meanwhile they just adopt your self-identificatinos and use them derisively to the point you have to find a new "clean" one that gets the same treatment.

>"you should not be able to send employees death threats"
>rabid foaming at the mouth commences
Pretty much proving why the statement is necessary.
Bunch of weird /b/tard rejects.

>>713677972
Exactly, which is one reason I hate having to use discords to run any high end content because a lot of them use them as an excuse to push identity politics, they're covered with trans flags, lgbtq rainbow flags, blm flags.
I'm just here to play a game not get lectured to or forced to acknowledge this shit, I don't care but if you shove it in my face I'm going to actively start hating those politics and the people trying to push it on me.

>>713678015
You still didn't address
>>713677567
Why did you troons send Susan Calloway death threats back in 2023?

>>713678148
>address my schizophrenia
I am not your sorely needed medication, mr. Groid.

Square Enix Derangement Syndrome.

get it?

>>713678501
because i wanna bash her cranium in with a pickaxe?
i get it

>>713678238
That's what I thought, selective outrage when someone gets 'threats' who you politically align with but you feign ignorance and act like it didn't happen when it's someone you dislike politically.
You brought up schizophrenia, this is classic projection complaining about a thing while also denying it exists.

>>713678656
See, the truth is that any word spent on you is wasted, for if you had the mental faculties to properly process them, you wouldn't be the way you are in the first place.
There is a very simple baseline that most people can agree on, and you can't even reach that abyssal bar. So what else is there to do than to throw peanuts at you and threat you like the barely sentient cro-magnon you truly are?
Not a lot.

>>713678757
You talked a lot and said nothing. Still denying that you troons sent Susan Calloway death threats?

>>713678804
Oh, the bushman doesn't get it.
See, what I said is that you and I are not at the same level. I am a person, and you're like some unwashed, skincrawling hellbeast.
I have no intention of pretending that you might somehow turn into an actual person and understand what must from your perspective be some sort of alien gibberish.

>No dark-skinned male Roegadyns left in Balmung
Dawntrail even made THEM quit, they were the only reason worth playing.

>>713678968
You can pretend or be an actual schizo for all it matters you're still deflecting.
You're pretty venomous people who sent death threats to Susan.

>>713679274

No attention in real life, so you need to seek attention pretending to be a fantasy character that looks like a female toddler? Sad. You're a grown ass man and this is how you spend your time.
