Several recent job listings suggest that Square Enix is working on a new tech demo based on its next generation Luminous Engine.

Well Nintendo and Squaresoft is where he started. I totally understand why he doesn't want to do FF now. If so I'm happy for either a remaster of Last Story or a new entry/spiritual successor. Loved the battle system of Last Story.
Wish my parents bought me a NES as a kid I would have played the first FF game. But I was lucky to have a SNES I played a bit of FF6 and just went to Chrono Trigger. When the FF collection releases I-VI Collection Anniversary drops I will take my time to play each Final Fantasy.
I mean… this is kinda obvious. The original final fantasy and its early sequels were on…
Square Enix announced its financial results for the three-month period which started on April 1 and ended on June 30, 2024.
They need more exclusives. That's the smart thing to do for 3rd party developers. /S
Here are some concerns regarding FF 7 Rebirth:
1) Completion rate of Part 1: Can Square Enix expect those who haven't finished Part 1 to purchase Part 2 at $70?
2) Requirement of a PS5: If someone enjoyed Part 1 on PS4, is there a significant advantage in purchasing a PS5 for the game, especially when PS4 continues to release new games?
3) Exclusivity issues.
Final thoughts on FF7: Cherish and relish Part 3, as it's likely the last time Square Enix will undertake such a project. Anticipate that future remakes will be scaled down or merely remastered.
Sales are down because pixel remaster sold 2+million and FF16 sold 3 million+ during the same time period last year and i don't think any big(or any?) square enix game released from april to june 30th of this year.
I am not sure why some sources put this in a negative light. Square had no major releases this quarter so it makes sense the sales would be less. What's good is than they found a way to lower their expenses to increase their profits given that no one was laid off.
The Square Enix CEO has recently confirmed in a shareholders' meeting that it is still working hard on multiple small-sized games.
I thought they said they were focusing on bigger games… so, we’re staying the same now?
Well I don’t mind more HD-2D games.. preferably something like FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Xenogears.
Why make games when you can make tech demo's. Knowing Square enix this is what they teased at the meeting.

I love how Square enix still thinks they can get away with that, when most people are really fed up with how they treat fans. If they did this kind of thing before FF13 i wouldve been a bit hyped, now i just want to throw rotten tomato's at the guy.
They obviously don't want to show the same tech demo at MS's press conference.
i can't find it in me to get excited about anything square enix says or produces anymore. they havent got anything to show for all the reputation they have built or the promises they've made. just more HD remakes of games for a time gone by. they have failed miserably previous gen FF13 and FF14 didn't really live up to expectations. i actually prefer that they don't release versus untill they are confident they can get it right. releasing that game and messing it up is not a good idea.
Just give me next gen Dues Ex.
I hope it's a next gen Chrono game.
