>>745158451>FF9 remake got far into development and shut down>FF7R trilogy woefully underperformed>FF16 is woefully underperformed>FF14 has been herrhaging subscribers since Dawntrail>DQ12 got far into development and completely restarted>DQ remakes have been selling well but nothing crazy>all their mobile games flopI don't believe they're doing well for a second
>>745158542Rebirth is an incredible game.
>>745158451I DONT CAREI JUST TO PLAY REVELATIONGODDAMITWHY IS GAMESCOM SO FAR AWAY
>>745158542uhh... Sony sisters, PCúcks, were we the issue?
>stop making your games exclusive on the FIFA, 2K,. Madden, GTA box>Put it on a Nintendo console>Start seeing sales
>>745158684Sony sister absolutely were the problem. Switch 2 is saving the Final Fantasy VII trilogy's sales.
>still won't show numbersSAD
>>745158451>The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales
>>745159070SE’s low budget attempt at a Zelda-like but it’s very bland and boring imo. This is coming from both a huge Zelda and SE fan
ps1 uncs can shut the fuck up now
Redditbirth didn't even sell 2 million copies on PC.
>>745158451I helped (buying it on the switch 2)
>>745158451Elliot 2 confirmed
From 2025/2026 alone:>boughted FF7R part 1 and 2 for Switch 2>boughted DQ3HD2D for Switch 2>boughted FF Tactics Remaster for Switch 2>bougted DQ 1 and 2 Hd2D for Switch 2>boughted DQ7 Reimagined for Switch 2 >boughted Paranormasight The Mermaids Curse for Switch 2>Boughted Adventures of Elliot for Switch 2>Boughted FFXIV complete edition for switch 2>Will boughted FF Resonance, FF7R Part 3, DQ12, and more when they come outI feel like Square Enix should have a rewards program for us mega autists that keep them in business
>>745158451I legit don't understand who is even buying these remakes. I played the original games growing up and they were revolutionary. They pushed the limits on what you could expect from video games. These remakes? They're just bland. There is nothing special about them.
>>745160296>>Boughted FFXIV complete edition for switch 2my man! I bought the complete collector's edition for it and holy fuck, good mounts and good shit all around
>>745160593Now that I’m really into FF14 (already beat base ARR) I kind of wish I shelled out for the $100 edition with all the cool mounts and cosmetics, I only bought the complete edition that has all the expansions and such
>>745158451What will anti FF7 schizo do now...
>>745160668i don't really blame you, I wasn't going to initially but then I tried the free trial version and after reaching level 20 I said "fuck it, I really like this game, i'm doing it", and it was with a 30% discount so I went and did it.
>>745160841Good for you. I hope you keep enjoying it, this game has completely consumed life since it released a week ago. I never expected this level of story quality from an MMO. The last few missions of ARR are especially amazing, they finally introduce all of the true boss mechanics and I’m finally being challenged
I bought remake and rebirth on the Switch 2, I'm owed a new Chrono game and a Chrono Trigger remake
>profit growth>after a devastating period of low profitsWhat used to be 100, became 10, then later becomes 18.8. Amazing 88% profit growth.
>>745165278>SE announces it's doing wellSo when can we see the numbers?
>>74516538767584398675483920398567584392098578543920there, you saw the numbers
>>745158584>>DQ remakes have been selling well but nothing crazyIt's not. These remakes spend three years in development and I'd really only class DQ3 as successful.1&2 as well as 7R were abysmal failures for DQ though. Neither crossed 600K (let alone a million) and none of the remakes garnered any interest outside Japan. Whole project is basically a failure on all fronts.
>>745165387https://gamebiz.jp/news/430853
>DQfags spamming last thread>they already moved to this threadCan the irrelevant retards please leave?
>>745164027>low profitsFeel free to point them out. The chart is in the Japanese article.
The last thread taught me that you can say whatever bad things you want about SE and nobody will get mad about it.
>>745165861>if i keep repeating myself people will think it's truegonna cry for another full thread?
>>745158542>Rebirth won
>>745158451What's the punishment in Japan for lying to shareholders?
>>745165990Wait, you don't think >>745165861 is true?
>>745158451Titsa wins again
>>745165861This isn't true. Look around.
>>745166046>can't move the goalpost>so just accuse SE of lyingThis is literally 9/11 for Square Enix haters. kekekekek
>>745166149You'll have to specify. I see you posting bait, getting posts that disagree and then you make separate posts about how mad people are. This seems more like a (You) thing than anything else.
>>745158451Because they haven't released anything big to lose money off of this year...
>>745165861you're fooling nobody. nobody thinks this is true no matter how many times you say it.
>>745166046There is none, and Square is free to do it as much as they please.
>>745165861That's... not true.
>>745166395>You'll have to specify.Huh? You already said to was untrue. Did you not know what you were commenting on?And you were right, it isn't true. People do get mad if you say bad things about SE.
I will save and marry Aerith
>>745166773You'll have to repeat yourself in English, not schizobabble.
>>745158584>>745160296>>745165446>>745165659has anyone here actually played dragon quest though
>>745160668the collector's upgrade regularly goes on sale for peanuts
>>745165861they're attached to rockstar staff instead. you can call SE a bunch of retards who produced nothing but garbage, but people will kvetch if you specifically name someone as a retard who produced a specific garbage product.
>>745166979Yeah. It is charming, but not really my thing. I vastly prefer Final Fantasy.
The FF7 remake deal exposed the snoy audience as ball n gun gamers that don't buy JRPGs anymore, no third party will give them an exclusive deal after this debacle.
>>745158451Xbox users saved Square Enix.
>>745167176They barely have first-party exclusives, let alone third-party in 2026.
>>745165861thats not how i remember it
>>745158584>>FF7R trilogy woefully underperformedThe premise of this report is that after they ported it to every non-Sony platform and showed off the Revelation trailer, the game had performed amazingly in the last 9 month period
>>745166951Let's make it simple for you:Is it true that if you say bad things about SE here, nobody will get mad about it?
>>745167176Yeah, Switch 2 is going to be the home of JRPGs. Xenoblade trilogy looks amazimg now.
>>745158451Why does Square Enix 91.8% YOY growth make /v/ so angry?
>>745167354PC*
>>745167393lol
>>745158451Unless they make good games, I don't care.
>>745167329No, someone always gets mad about it.
>>745167421https://store.steampowered.com/category/rpg_jrpg/More JRPGs on PC than there are games on the Switch 2. Games also sell more on PC. Sorry to break it to you.
>>745167329Still pure schizobabble. I'll assume you want to make it seem like people are mad when they're not, then brag about it repeatedly while samefagging. All because, what, SE being... successful?
>>745167354>No new Persona games>house of JRPGs
>>745167516Switchfags have this strange complex about their platform being the most successful. I saw someone trying to claim Hollow Knight was successful because of the Switch despite it reaching like 10 million sales on PC before they even got a port.
>>745167475where is The Duskbloods there bro? sorry sibling
>>745167393>>745167475FF7 Rebirth level RPGs might be a bit of a steep compromise on Switch 2 (especially handheld), but Falcom RPGs and HD-2D projects like Star Ocean Second Story R will sell gang busters, especially on the Japanese market. I’m also wiling to bet that S2’s FFXIV port will make a huge dent in the next earnings report
>>745167307May I see sales numbers?
>>745167812>FalcomNow that you mention it, Sky 1st was HUGELY successful on PC and they sold most of their total copies of the game on Steam according to Kondo.
Final Faggotry 14 releasing on the Nintendo Shit will birth even more YoShitPiss cultists. What an abominable thread, full of not only SE shills but also Nintendo shills.The Riot MMO can't come soon enough to rape the FinalFaggotroons.
>>745168008you're just poor anon
The only solid proof of this is that Square Enix has gutted their westoid braces, so I can see why they are able to retain money now all the sudden.
>>745158451>se announces huge gains>schizo: fake numbers they're lying>anons: you're retarded>schizo: looool u mad broclassic /v/
>>745167879Kondo reported that the biggest response was on Steam due to the demo, but the earnings reported were across all platforms. Console wars aside, Falcom is making bank because their stuff runs on everything at high frame rates while looking good.
>>745167660It's the typical drone deliusion.When the next Zelda is a mediocre souls like clone, they'll pretend that Nintendo revolutionized action-adventure games.
>>745167509>schizobabbleHuh? It was a clear question. You already said it wasn't true.
>>745168206>falcomshit>looking goodNice joke, anon.
>>745167452Seems to be the case
>>745168008The only people playing XIV on switch are double dipping trannies and some poor people playing the free trial because they are poor
>>745167475Anons will use store front offerings to argue about de facto performance. PC is huge, but JRPGs will focus on a choice console for the Japanese market (Switch 2 in this gen) and PC for the Western release if it’s got enough demand. Many of these PC releases are borked or need several months of official and fan patches to enjoy to the fullest. PC is an everything machine but still more niche than a console. The console is the de facto target for a (J)RPG even in current year, and this gen, Nintendo got the reigns again after 2 decades of Sony leading the platform charge.
>>745168409nah I bought the complete collector's edition as a new player because I always wanted an mmorpg in bed
>>745168342Falcom games look excellent and always have. Can you articulate what’s wrong with them without saying “b-but it looks like anime…” ?
It appears that no matter how much good news SE fans get, nothing will ease their insecurities. They'll still spend hours being mad over nothing.
>>745168462You're delusional.
>>745168560>>745167329What a life
>>745168560kek holy shit he's still going >>745168175
>>745165861No matter how many times you say this it will never be true.
>>745168578>waaaah i think you’re wrong stupid anon with no argumenti bet you think i hate pc gaming too
Sebby won
>>745168709I think about him every single day
>>745168690I think you're either disingenuous or misinformed.
>>745168558The problem isn't anime artstyle: IS can make FE looks good and Atlus can make Persona looks cool as well. My issue is with their poorly made overworld assets, generic animations and I personally don't lile their characters designs, every girl looks exactly the same as others except for their hair.
SE was criticized in another thread so now I have to defend them in this one AND that one, this sucks
>>745158451Thank you SQ for making the definitive verisons play best only on PS5 Pro. exclusive basdically.
>>745166979Yes. Must be shocking since Final Fantasy fans don't play anything else.
>>745168916are all shart peenixfags as pathetic of you?
>>745168919>best>doesn't even support 16x anisotropic filteringlol
>>745168963That tracks with the weird over defensiveness. It's all they have so they are extra precious about it.
>>745168976This guy is a special breed of pathetic.
>>745169036What's funny is that every DQ past 1 is basically the same game, so even when they play different DQ games, they're playing the same game.
>>745165861Untrue.
>>745158451I would be upset by this news, but I'm still feeling pretty good about the reports of gacha as a whole going under
>>745158635better ending than whatever dogshit gonna be revelation
>>745158584>>FF9 remake got far into development and shut downreally? fuck :(
>>745168887Falcom games are basically as low as quality gets in JRPGs, though. I played Sky 1st and laughed my head off when I saw the Cold Steel 1 horse being repurposed as a statue. Cold Steel 1 was released in 2013 for reference. Asset reuse over the course of 12 years at the time.
>>745169245its for the best they will put sephiroth there or whitewash kuja shit because he was posessed by nekros or whatever bullshit
>>745169245We don't even know who was working on it. All the major teams responsible for FF, KH and DQ are busy. It was probably some Indian jank so bad they had to scrap the project. Ubisoft had to do the same when they hired an Indian dev for remake Prince of Persia.
>>745158451Of course your profit goes up when you lay off a bunch of people, itll go back down as soon as the results become apparent.
Nobody who shares my opinions has ever been mad. Everyone else is a schizo and mad 24/4.
>>745169436The LLM bot is broken. What's it even trying to say?
>>745165861Will be testing to see if this is true in future
>>745158451Ok where's Stranger of Paradise 2 then
>>745169282Falcom games are cool anon
>>745169679TN's busy ctrl + c/ving Wo Long right now.
>>745169740Yeah, but super low quality and cheaply made. Music also went to shit when Singa took over as lead composer for everything.
>>745165861still not true btw
>>745167829Remake 9M copies (8.7M last report EuroGamer 2025)Rebirth 5M (Almost 4M only PS5 last report Alex Donaldson late 2024 + 1M PC port)
>>745170447>Rebirth 5M (Almost 4M only PS5 last report AlexWaiting for SE with their official sales report. Until then this game sold zero copies.
>>745171034rebirth has been up in the sales charts several times. I guess the charts are lying too
>>745171385The charts don't show sales, unfortunately. Don't forget to defend your favorite corporation for free, they need you.
>>745158451are japanese companies allowed to lie to investers?
>>745158451>operating profit up 88.6% year-over-yeari.e. the previous year's profits were terrible>sales of Final Fantasy VII RebirthDid they finally break 5 million sales, which FF7 Remake only needed 4 months to hit?
>>745168008>Riot MMOHoly shit you're brown.
>>745158451>shazamtroons samefagging nonstop at unacceptable newsGrim.
>>745172589looks pretty healthy
yes I made purchase of many of their games not long ago
>>745158451>Every modern release is a floppa>Somehow record profitsYeah, they lying
>>745171917it's literally called "sales chart" by the way.
>>745158542It was a bad game
>>745165446No one outside of japan gives a shit about dragon ball/final fantasy ripoff
>>745168887Sky 1st looks better than any Persona game, tho. Persona 5 is just a PS3 game afterall, the animation is way more clunky than the last 3 Trails.
>>745173932It would be strange if they suddenly started lying now. They've been so brutally honest about most of their games underperforming, it's been a common news headline for more than a decade. It really has never stopped since the Tomb Raider reboot. It feels like this is the first positive news since the disastrous Eidos acquisition.
>>745158451>Still no sales numbers>Share price tankingTakashi Kiryu's house of cards is fucked, Xbox tranny,.
>>745177351>Sky 1st looks better than any Persona gameIt really doesn't.
>>745160668>Now that I’m really into FF14 (already beat base ARR) I kind of wish I shelled out for the $100 edition with all the cool mounts and cosmeticsHonestly I don't think it's worth it, there are tons of mounts and cosmetics you can get in-game without paying extra money. I've been playing for 3 years and I've never bought any cash shop stuff except a fantasia. Which is also frankly a waste of money if you're playing on PC, there are plugins that can change your character's race/gender/etc for free
Blue Dragon is the best FF game ever made
Still a gay ass company that flops outside of PlayStation.
>>745177439>they're lying because they have to be otherwise i'm losing sleep over this
>>745158542it sold millions...
>>745158584its illegal to lie to your shareholders
>>745167516Persona on the Switch is a matter of "when" rather than "if," but Xenoblade will never ever be on Playstation. So yes, the Switch is a better JRPG machine.
>>745172589>i.e. the previous year's profits were terriblesure but this years profits were top 3 according to the same chart
>>745182057Consoles aren't even part of the equation. You're fighting for second place.
>>745177630it does look better than metaphor
>>745161114I did too and I already bought them on PS5. I double-dipped partly to show support for the Switch releases, and partly to help the general sales of the FFVII remake series but I also bought Rebirth on Switch 2 just to see how it runs on the Switch 2. Haven't had time for it yet.
>>745168471I trust you didn't buy it before you got to Shadowbringers? You aren't a retard who purchased the game before hitting the limit of the free trial, right?
Kino Fantasy is back, turd based sissies should kill themsselves
Friendly reminder that cancelling most of your projects and doing asset rehashes isn't covering up the cracks in Square Enix.
>>745158684Turns out SE was retarded not to launch on all platforms since day 1. I wonder how tf they are still in business with constant retarded corporate decision making. They should learn a thing or two from Capcom atp.
>>745181763Sony does it all the time.
>Xbox trannies with the late cope
