Square Enix announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April and December.
Mobile did badly. HD games still lose money. FFXIV is still a solid rock, and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the real hero.
"Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the real hero."
SP, turned based JRPG. BG3 was GOTY, it's SP (at its core) turned based RPG.
CEOs: players don't want that. "Why aren't we making more money?"
Got over 250 hours in Dragon Quest III remake. I'll probably put about that much more time into I and II.
Yes yes yes. Square for some reason still don't see the appeal of turn based despite many games and indies do so well. Really baffles me.
Persona 5 and its re-releases, Shin Megamit Tensei V, and Metaphor are all standout examples as well. I don't know what the sales for the latter 2 were, but they were critically-acclaimed. Granted, they were also all released by 1 studio, but you get what I mean. Your examples count as well.
You want another sure fire hit? Parasite Eve and Xenogears, oh but you won’t because… well, I’m still trying to figure that out.
Xenogears I want more than any other game I can think of. Hell I'd buy it with bare minimum upgrades at this point. I just want the option to play it on current gen hardware.
There's a good chance that it may be added to the ps1 classics catalog on PS5 one day.
Revive Vagrants story, make it bloodborn'esque in setting and speech - watch money come in.
ff9 remake. dont bullshit upscale like you did ff8 - that was cruel
Square I know how to do it. Bring back legend of dragoon, make turn based mainline ff again, keep DQ traditional. Easy money right there.

The Outerhaven: As the year comes to a close, here are The Outerhaven's 2024 games of the year. We hope you find new favorites as you play through the best games of the year.
Playing WuKong right now and I would put it on this years list best games. I wouldn’t trick it at the top but towards the top. It’s pretty damn good. I’d kick off World of Warcraft as I hated it when it came out, a too easy version of Everquest with cartoony style.
One of my favorite in the series, but still waiting for a solid discount before I grab this one.
