Square Enix released new Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Screenshots portraying the new Unicorn mounts.
Square Enix announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, related to the period between April and September 2025.
It should be noted that operating loss for HD titles includes 1 title that just released (30th October) and 2 titles that haven't been released at all. So, they could at least eek through with a positive operating income by the end of the year. They're including the operating costs for those games even though two haven't been released and one has been out a whole week.
Having said that, man, they could do with some new IPs in there, IMHO.
MMOs are just money generating machines now, though. Mostly minor content creation, upkeep, no need for new graphics. Profit margins are likely always going to favor them than the slew of games they're putting out (again, get some new IPs please?).
I think you mean the titles listed in the slide. That's not an indication that the development expenses have already been included. That's simply a list of the games that will launch this fiscal year.
Either way of cost accounting they would be included as an average or period ending, and the ending period is the FY report.
And yet they have such a small budget for the game 2 races cant put on hats.
They need to stop funneling money from the game to pay for all their other poor games and put it back into the game!
We gt a graphics update - no money into world building so you have an upscaled 90's mmo.
Story the main focus? This xpac had the least amount of VA and the shtest writing l've ever seen. A Mary Sue is centre stage.
The devs stopped loving their creation and it shows.
1: You really don't have good memories of 90s MMOs.
2: you shouldn't judge the story from the English localization.The Japanese version of Dawntrail is MUCH better.
And here is one of the major issues with the game. The sheer amount of apologetics who will be negative positivity to the point the game is A$$ to what it could have been.
Wuk Lamat is hated in EVERY language.
i hate Square enix's english localisation of their games.
they're always so different from literally any other translation ha
I read the article, and I'm still not sure, what exactly does "HD" game entail?
It can't just be HD-2D games, or HD remasters. Because Star Ocean 2 R and Romancing SaGa 2 are really the only ones this year.
So I'm guessing it's literally every console HD game? Rebirth, Visions of Mana, etc.?
HD games is the definition Square Enix uses for all the console and PC games that aren't MMOs or free to play.
So yeah, Rebirth, Visions of Mana, FFXVI and such.
Today Square Enix hosted the 84th Final Fantasy XIV Letter from the Producer Live, providing more details about update 7.1
Nothing to cry over, but I never saw any unicorns in-game, this just feels out of place, but to each their own.
So far my favourite mount :3

Just....a....few.....more....d ays.....
What other mmo has Unicorns!? Pretty awesome! I want it to stab enemies with it's horn and shoot laser beams.
Looks fake, Kinda like someone modified one of the character models and put this in its place.
similar to how we saw the people break the game a few weeks ago.
