opening it up again with tifa porn

FFX remake

ff11 and ff12 remake

Chrono Trigger remake probably

dries up?

The one that dried up after FF7R1?

Rebirth was the best jrpg released this decade

Milking nostalgia for FF9

layoffs, followed by closures, hopefully

outdated and stubborn design/gameplay decisions

censoship and DEIshit

managed to fuck up the one thing that couldn't fail (the FF7 demakes)

Prequel that takes place during Aeris's mom's childhood/young adulthood showing her adventures and the advent of Shinra as a global power.

FF7 well dries up

It already dried up, they didn't make profit with Rebirth.

What's funny is SE blew it twice with Tifa and can never have the chance again. They should've gave her the original outfit for maximum sex appeal and should've put her in Tekken 8 instead of Clive.

Kingdom Hearts.

I hope they wake the fuck up and take a long hard look at Expedition 33 and put some serious weight behind a proper turn based JRPG again
Octopath 1 and 2 were fine, Bravely Default 2 was kind of mid. Can't we get something more ambitious in this space?

Kingdom hearts 4.5 or some shit I don’t know. They’re experts at milking anything that has the slightest amount of success

the future of this company

According to Yoshida Naoki the future is Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and World of Warcraft. Players don't want Turn Based Games and JRPG is a slur so please don't call FFXIV, FFXV and FFXVI JRPGs.

They need to jump on the Souls ripoff train like Lies of P, but fuckoff with the cutscenes. They keep wasting tons of money on animations for useless cutscenes just because it's the AAA thing to do, to have cutscenes.

they still make new games people like

Creative Business Unit I will make Final Fantasy XVII and Hamaguchi will direct it. That is the most logical conclusion after the positive reception of Remake and Rebirth.

Weird, the catalog is frozen but people are still posting.
This thread is stuck at the top of page 1

DQ3 HD sold more than FF7 remake.
FF7 isn't their cashcow

Both Remakes were massive flops though, so the FF well dried already up once the Demake released.

They make all their money from FFXIV

nu Tomb raider this high

WTF

FF8 prequel

They will manage to live and subsist but their products will still be woefully mediocre with the occasional gem here and there. Just a boring decline

he thinks ff7 is what keeps them afloat

Both Remakes were massive flops though

Hi Jimbo.

I see you are still seething.

I feel like SE is the only company where they're their worse enemy. They can only make Final Fantasy and it has to always be absolutely high budget and take a longass time to make, along with corporate meddling and being out of touch due to the old farts in the company.

That counts the original DQ3 sales

7m

Less than DQ3 remaster a fucking pixel game.

They should do FF7-2. After Advent Children and Dirge, a new threat arises. Tifa and Cloud also fuck and have kids. Who wouldn't want to see that?

no way fag.jpg - 1342x1039, 88.55K

they publish plenty of smaller releases though, games that probably could be more successful if they gave them more of a budget.
Feels like they only have money to spend on FF & Kingdom Hearts and then they let Dragon Quest do it's own thing in the corner.

Just wait and see how mad he will be when SE sells another five million copies of Remake for the Switch 2. kek

Tendies still haven't got a taste of this amazing game.

More SaGa games, hopefully

Continue to chase trends from ten years ago with the money that all their garbage gacha games bring in.

Final fantasy X-2 with more titties obviously.

errmmm why aren't the catalogue or index working

Tlou2 shipped 10 mil faster and is still a financial failure just like FF. What good are 7 mil sales in 5 years when 5 mil were at under 20 bucks and the game cost 200 mil+? You would have made more profit just leaving the money at a bank.

DQ3 is on Switch and Remake isn't, you retard. At least not yet.

Nintendo and Dragon Quest are KING in Japan.

is it a keycard? cuz im not buying those

You got shadowbanned.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

Best setting Final Fantasy VII title to date

Even surpassing the OG Final Fantasy VII

Oh, the melt down will be glorious.

Yeah im sure people are just waiting with open arms to play a turd at 10 FPS. When even on Pc it flopped massively and prolly cost more to port over.

He's already seething lmao

Best setting

*best selling

Whether or not it makes money is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Its about the future of the brand and the future of FFVII especially is going to look like a joke. FFVII lived off of legacy alone for nearly two decades, despite abysmal movies, shit spinoff games like dirge, etc.

Final Fantasy XVI-Deux or an FF1 Remake to follow up Stranger of Paradise.

The cheapest option would be to release a new 2D FF game made in the
Pixel Remaster engine.

The craziest option would be to turn Life is Strange into their next RPG tentpole franchise. I heard the latest ended with a hinting at a superhero team-up like the Justice League, so they could easily do something with that.

You are talking like FF7 fans are capable of walking away. If they are told there's some new shit with Cloud and Sephiroth they'll buy it, no matter how shit.
Does it matter that the vast, VAST majority of Star Wars shit is terrible? Once you have a cultish, obsessed fanbase, you can serve them endless slop. It's not actually worth making anything good, it's more cost effective to keep serving gruel. And you don't want to raise anyone's expectations. A steady stream of garbage keeps them strung along forever.

It's not gonna happen.

Though I've also heard Octopath 2 to be good, wasn't Octopath 1 also "mid"?
I haven't played any SE game outside of mainline FFs + Tactics and Vagrant Story, mainline DQs, DrakeNier, KH and the Chronos
I don't really see myself breaking this anytime soon either as much as I commend those games as an outsider

They should do more things like FF12 Revenant Wings. Games related to mainline games with lesser budget. Making a new FF is such a gamble for them that they need to resort to smaller projects.

I really don't get this argument because you can resell the games. If I buy a game on Steam for 70 bucks, then I am stuck with it forever.

It won't happen but it would be funny if the FF7 remake games sell the most on the Switch 2 despite being late ports.

Holy fuck, no wonder they're in the red and don't know how to make a good game. They put all their points into cutscenes. Look at that runtime.

square enix intern here, we're working on a sequel to FF7 after it is fully "remade"

Jimbo is a broccoli-haired passive aggressive shitstirring attention seeking schizo who larps as a blue eyed aryan chad. Don't expect him to know what he's talking about.

is there to be a third part of ff7 remake? those games are good (ff7 rebirth 1 and 2)

Wouldn't it be funny they finally do a turn based Final Fantasy similar to Clair Obscur with all the graphics and what not and they still fail. They'd literally be listen to the fans that have been complaining about it and they still didn't buy it. I think that would make them more mad.

The FF7 well dried up already

Laughable

It's to be sold to tencent for pennies so its assets can be used for hetero/straight gacha/porn games

I bet you still think about this epic shitposting every day.

Mission accomplished. kek

Kingdom Hearts

Huh? I saw a schizopost and checked the archive. Sure enough he's been at it a long time. Looks like he has boogeymen running around in his head too. Very sad.

being bought buy tencent like ubisoft

These are their panic buttons

FFIX remake

FFX remake

Xenogears remake

Chrono Trigger remake

Dragon Quest V remake

they'll have to start making good games again

good fucking luck if they use those as well as FF7

I feel like SE is the only company where they're their worse enemy.

I think you need to be 18 to post here. You've clearly never heard of Sega

FFIX remake

already happening

FFX remake

not until 7 is done

Xenogears remake

can't see it

Chrono Trigger remake

probably happening

Dragon Quest V remake

no idea

Do a reverse image search on this one too, Jimbo.

What is the future of this company once the FF7 well dries up?

SE is working on tons of AAA games. The well will never dry up.

Their backcatalogue will continue to sell. The FF7 franchise alone will continue to sell. A game here, a game there. Merch, a dvd, a soundtrack etc. FF7 alone will cause new fans to pick up other Final Fantasy games.

What's important is whether or not they can continue to make new Final Fantasy games. FFXVI was the newest mainline game and the reception has been controversial.

Dude you need more than turn based combat for a game to be good.

they publish plenty of smaller releases though, games that probably could be more successful if they gave them more of a budget.

Their A and AA games are good though and don't need much budget. The term "Budget" to Square Enix just means spending 10 years to make a movie game.

Also wasn't it revealed that they purposely didn't want to advertise their recent A and AA games a few years ago and wanted them to fail?

FF7 alone will cause new fans to pick up other Final Fantasy games.

True.

I personally didn't care about Final Fantasy until Remake was released, but now I am a huge SE fan.

The only selling point Final Fantasy has nowadays is the high budget

How the hell will they do that

Yeesh. What a life.

There’s more to it than just FF7. They have an entire mobile and online gaming market, and merchandise and manga publishing. The bigger question is how they’ll manage the tariffs stuff, orders for new merch is paused for the US.

Yeah they can just sell porn games like Dead or Alive and do something useful. These retards should wake up and smell the coffee. No one cares about this company anymore

Yeah Romancing saga 2Re was actually good.
