You mean, like this traitor?
Yeah, I have major concerns over him... in fact I was banned from another forum for saying that meeting was very suspicious.
Chocobo gp ...
seriously though who thought that was a good idea to launch a rubbish micro transaction riddles kart racer exclusively on the Nintendo switch which has mario kart already 
nope. in fact is quite the opposite
my first comment:

clowns's reaction:
BuT StArField sOLd LeSs aNd ShIT.
is like WTF are we doing here?.
so this comment:
is pointing out how this supposedly "massive and superior financial and critical success" that was FFXVI, especially compared to the 'massive mega flop of the century" in starfield, such as coud send MS to bankruptcyand who AGAIN has lost 2B in market value? after the release of the MASSIVE SUCCESS, the BEST FF, with a fricking 16 in the title and GOTY contender ....yes...Square ShitEnix.
an 88 ain't saving this shittie company
isn't helping SE offset their previous failures. in fact. SE recognizes they have issues with budgets (among other things).
FFXVI development cost was paid off in week one of sales. Starfield's $500 million Dev budget will never be paid off with everybody just getting it on Gamepass with stacked $1 subscriptions
x3 and who is the one losing 2B in market value after the releases of its respective games?
and:
Starfield losing 1000000000 Billion dollars doesn't translate to success for SE
.
GP subs have stagnated or declined for Xbox. It's a disaster scenario for them if games aren't providing a significant and sustained uplift in subs, with $70 billion spent on this experiment. You can bet your bottom dollar they won't be talking about actual GP numbers in their next financial report. Obfuscate and pretend all is well for Xbox
The ramp up to Starfield should have seen continual growth in subs but it hasnt
$500 million and outshone and outsold by "niche" Larian Studios on the same day
How do you continue to justify $500 million development budgets when you aren't growing subscriptions from it and the biggest product to you've had in a decade barely scrapes past a million in launch sales? You can't. Slowly but surely Bethesda will be taken apart and sold off for pennies on the dollar. First off the rank will be Arkane

As usual the Xbote hides Xbox's significant failures behind Microsoft's overall success as a company. Xbox is the nepo baby of videogames. Zero successes of its own, just hiding behind daddy's Azure wallet. Let's see Xbox try and succeed in the stock market of its own accord before you speak
I doubt Sony have much interest in trying to fix an entire Japanese publisher
FFXVI could have done Elden Ring numbers and they'd still have an idiot CEO in charge talking about investment in NFTs and flip flopping from AAA focus to pumping out $40-$50 ports of decade old games
Yet again, you try and somehow tie the games performance to financial results when that connection doesn't exist. It would never had a material impact within 8 days, so your point is mute, despite how many backflips you try and pull after making an ass out of yourself.
The market is typically very short sighted so those stocks will rebound sooner than later.
That being said, square does have a problem with their output on the past few years. They can't seem to knock it out of the park and released a few high profile stinkers like avengers or forsaken, that terrible Babylon's fail game...
Where is nier automata 2?
They should finish VII remake and start with VI. Just pull a Capcom and live from high budget remakes from now on.

I disagree 100%, they didn't need even worse story pacing. What they needed was to fix the itemization and side quests to make them seem not pointless, and to make the difficulty sufficient that those fixed side quest rewards proved a measurable aid in progression.
Yeah. The story in those side missions was great, that's why I did them all. But they were never fun. So essentially they were blocking cool story beats behind bland gameplay content
Super Mario RPG is bound to sell the most units of any Square software released this year… and it’s just a remake.
Probably things like Triangle Strategy, Octopath travler etc. Triangle Strategy is awesome
Maybe under development. Or maybe Toyo Taro decided to make something else instead.
Outside Japan there isn't nostalgia for VI. They already refurbished the NES and SNES FF games many times, that's all. I highly doubt they'd want to spend a ton of money on them.
Instead it makes more sense to continue milking their most popular games. Which in this case, it's to make the 3rd part of the FFVII remake. If after it they want to continue with very expensive remakes pretty likely they'll move to FFVIII, FFX and FFXII since they are the next ones in sales.
I'm glad that at least some people are starting to realize how dishonest the discourse around Square and Final Fantasy has been.
