Square Enix was previously based in Tokyo's Meguro ward, but the company moved to Shinjuku in 2004. Famed composer and former employee Nobuo Uematsu previously claimed the move was spurred by a fortune teller's prediction.
"[Square Enix CEO and president Yoichi] Wada took a couple of locations to a fortune teller named Pao," said Uematsu. "Pao said the Meguro space was not going to bring any fortune to the company, and pointed to Shinjuku. That's why he decided to move it there. I heard this directly from Wada."

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…
Square Enix announced its financial results and the continued strategy for the Medium-Term Business Plan that will span two more years.
Square Enix talks about developing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 in a behind-the-scenes interview.
Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?
It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.
The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers
The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
People think his been at Square for a long time when they sed to make great games.
The truth is, he joined Square in late 2000/2001. Many people think he was there before.
But i think he (and Toriyama) are the reasons SE is going downhill.
He came too late to put his "intelligent ideas" into FF10 and ruin it...
Easiest way to tell if a fortune teller is legit is to walk straight up to him/her the moment you meet and punch them in the face.
If they were for real they would have seen it coming ;P
Slightly more on topic: This explains a lot.
Seeing Ranma1 comment 3 times in his own article submission without any other person commenting leads me to believe that he is quite the lonely, desperate individual.
They should be listening to their fans.
