Square Enix General News

This popped up on my Facebook feed through the Secret of Mana official page.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SQUARESEM

The SoM page billed it as "Shape the future of Square Enix!", but it's probably nothing more than "where do you want to see FFXV ported to in 5 years?".

Maybe not par for the course on surveys like this, but I ripped them pretty good in comment sections.

Sounds like they're working on a XIV successor and a potential streaming service based on the questions.

I think they would be foolish to succeed an mmo that is widely profitable and exploiting a cash shop system while retaining acceptable sub numbers. Face it you're not going to make the next WoW and hold over 6mil subs monthly.

I'm going to have to do this survey when I get home. Got to number 12 and I don't have time to list every game company I know of off the top of my head.

[Shenrien]

There is 45 questions in total.

Just steel yourself until they announce anything.

For all we know, its a Theatrythm action RPG with iOS FF aesthetics.

Nah, they'll jump on the mixed fighter craze and shit out a sequel to Ergheiz with various SE chars. And true to form, the one FF a given individual likes will not have the preferred representation.

Bravely Second would probably benefit greatly from a Switch port. Thats my guess.

Weaker Financial Results for Q1 due to Lack of Releases and Under-Performing Mobile

Spoiler: show

What the financials are telling SE: Stop putting so much effort into mobile. Stuff like Octopath works well!

What SE sees in reading the financials: Income is down, we need more mobile titles.

[Draylo]

Really hope mobile dies out. So sick of the empty games with all intentions of cash shop grabs.

[Silenka]

It won't as long as their primary market is Japan. Those hour+ daily train commutes generously feed the mobile market monster.

[Destinye]

Plus nothing really wrong with it. SE is just being retarded as usual.

I think the Last Remnant pull more points to an HD remake of some kind, so they want to make sure no one has the option of buying the older, cheaper one.

Tencent is cancer.

Were you guys into the last remnant? Couldn't deal with it after a certain point. Found the gameplay tedious
