Revenue is the true measure of a company's size. Market cap is fake gnomish value.
basically every game they've sold lately has been a massive sales flop. 16 was a moderate success but they more then likely promised 10 million week one or something like that. it's pretty standard for them at this point
Are there even 10 mil ps5 owners?
SE took the hit in the previous qtr. The company made a huge profit off ff16. Stocks are stupid indicators of success
nta but I doubt Armored core will be nominated. And while RE4 remake deserves to be, it won't either due to being a remake, that would cause a shitstorm. FF XVI will be nominated but won't get it. BG3 will
>nta but I doubt Armored core will be nominated >When ER DLC will debut at the Pope's award show
Geoff isn't going to fly Miyazaki out just to send him home empty handed
I’m a big Fromsimp but if you were to tell me back in the ps1 day that a FF game is less likely to be nominated for whatever goty award than fucking Armored Core I’d laugh at such bullshit.
It’s funny how AC6 seems to have a lot bigger cultural impact than XVI. Memes out the ass from day one, from the copter to the schizowife to Waltuh. On XVI front I’ve hardly seen or heard anything.
It’s really fucking sad at this point.
>development structure and quality control
what a bunch of bullshit. the game was fine. performing below expectations comes down to the retarded business decision to release it as a ps5 exclusive. square needs to fire the snoys infecting their board of directors
i'm not saying the game was a masterpiece or anything, but it was still better than a majority of garbage releasing right now. definitely better than slopfield and balls hurt fag pee
People still play and discuss BG3 today because it has incredible depth
FF16 on the other hand is completely dead. People just come into these threads to take a shit and move on
>what a bunch of bullshit
that's referring to the huge amount of small budget titles square released over the last couple of years like valkyrie, star ocean, harvestella etc. Those games deserved more love and it made them lose even more money. Not to mention Matsuda's pet project flopspoken. That's why the new CEO is cutting that shit and wants to focus on AAA.
tldr Matsuda did as much damage as possible before "stepping down" (getting fired)
FFXV also had 10 years of marketing, hype, and was not a playstation exclusive. It was one of those games everyone wanted to see, and when they did, it killed the series.
Because the agreements were made years ago under old management. They had the new CEO come out to make a show of wanting to release games on more systems at that XIV con.
>flop a studio out of $100m >kill that studio (free) >restructuring fees ($20m) >severance packages ($10m) >building demo and cleanup ($25m) >dump remainder of stock in Mexican landfill ($25m)
Flopspoken lol
Tell me lies, Barry, sweet little lies
Also I love how pathetic it is that you can't even call it a success and calling it a "not so terrible flop" is the best you can muster while lying through your teeth
This is the first and final time I shall reply to you in this thread so feel free to call me a boogeyman from gamefaqs and spout more bullshit
I can't believe how huge of a flop Forspoken was, it's unreal. The shitload of brand new copies being found in various landfills shortly after release was the cherry on top.
it sold well on PS5 by about 8 percent more than the ps4 comparison for ff15, but the execs are retarded or something. They expected like an 80 percent install base sales rate.
I mean if it didn't meet expectations it didn't meet expectations but I think it's disingenous to blame this on XVI when you remember every other retarded decision Square Enix made in the past few years >The Avengers >Babylon's Fall >Chocobo GP before they cut the live service shit out of it >The First Soldier >Selling all their western studios and sinking all the money from the sale to making several different NFTs including a whole project revolving around it >GotG which while a good game, came out after Avengers and was marketed like dogshit making nobody want it >Forspoken
You don't lose 30% of your stock value overnight because one game flopped, this has been a steady downward slope caused by an increasing amount of fuckups. I'm just glad we got a Live A Live remake before we reached this point.
So. I think I'm one of the few anons that read the actual articles and they are not blaming FF16 for it.
Headlines only mention FF16 as a way to drive engagement.
Main reasons why it's down is because: >Avengers debt is still alive and well >Forspoken caused major damage to the company income >Bunch of mobile games being shut down because they are chasing F/GO and Genshit profits >MMO sector down due to it being in late expansion cycle
Only reason FF16 was mentioned is because they thought it magically would cover the lost profits because of the above mentioned reasons.
It's really just a combination of lazy uninspired releases and stock price doesn't matter SE could sit on their hands working on another FF15-tier disaster then still survive for a decade. I don't even like FF but this is just reality. Sega still exists and they're an even worse bloated company. Too big to fail is real
Reading the Square Enix stock news since FF16’s release makes me laugh. I laugh because I do financials.
You see the highest point on the chart? That’s the release of Final Fantasy 16.
The initial fall was them evening back out. The huge drop started in early August. If you read the article it’s states that FF16 failed to help meet the losses that Avengers and Forspoken cost the company
My favorite part of this is when yoshitpiss was kvetching at how people were asking him for a PC port and begging people to buy the game on PS5 kek, how much more of a buckbroken corporate cuckold can you be to shill for another company's device, let alone an american company's device
yoshitpiss is a groveling bitch begging his western masters for financial support. his worrisome outburst shows just how bad a game he knew he made, a game that would indeed be outsold by pikmin 4
It's the opposite. Square is doing everything they can to distance FF16 from the investor reports and blame it all on their failing mobile division / flopspoken / avengers. But the article mentions that if FF16 was a success it would turn things around by now, and that obviously didn't happen.
We probably won't know how hard FF16 actually flopped until Square releases numbers in the next fiscal quarter.
Did every gaming journo forget about Flopspoken being the biggest reason for Square's loss in market value, or are they just saying it's because of FFXVI just to bait for clicks? To be fair, it could be both.
>Did every gaming journo forget about Flopspoken being the biggest reason for Square's loss in market value, or are they just saying it's because of FFXVI just to bait for clicks? To be fair, it could be both.
They don't want to mention it because it would give the narrative that PoC lead games lose you 100 million dollars.

They've already broken the glass case housing the FFVII remake. The one that said "break glass in case of financial difficulty". Now there is only one thing that can save the company, and that is rat tits in HD with faithful turn based gameplay
it's hard to not call it high quality, but the market is never satiated with the presentation of AAA, they're honestly a lot happier with smaller scale games, but no one wants to give up the idea that a grand game has the chance of being the greatest thing ever, because the alternative is being happy with a game that can be played on a phone
Snoys were trying to defend it because they are scared shitless S-E won't offer their new games anymore to Sony for a modest fee. 2 out of 3 PS5 "exclusives" we S-E games Sony is nothing without free third party support.
No, I say way more interesting and insightful stuff than the endless baiting and parroting that makes up these threads, but you just want to relive the conversation you had yesterday. And the day before that. Forever.
yup the yoshitters only have fake conversations with themselves or wait for one of the boogeymen to appear and unload on them. if you're ever starving for a you just make a pro Barry post or something obscenely anti yoshitter, gotta be at least a 25% chance you catch a (you) from me
Revenue is down cause mobile shit went EOS and because there is no new XIV expansion this year. SE are also still way up as far as they stock price goes. This is just a small correction.
>Gain tens of billions in value over the last 5 years >lose 1-2 billion over the span of a few months
Please never start trading. You will bankrupt yourself
This happens to nearly all corporations.
They have to keep growing enough to satisfy investors, so eventually they fail to reach the constant level of growth required and the investors start to bail out.
Square-Enix is still making billions, but the investors want them to make more proportional to what they already make.
Square-Enix is a success, but they might die simply because Mr. Shekelstein doesn't think they're making him enough money now.
Whether you are for or against SE, doesn't matter. This will happen to you favorite brand too. It's just how things work now.

I never mentioned Barry. It's literal clickbait, MMO and mobile shit are responsible for the loss in value

Revenue is the true measure of a company's size. Market cap is fake gnomish value.
Clearly this board's moderation team must be too because I've seen them 404 at least three threads just like this tonight
>posting clickbait again
basically every game they've sold lately has been a massive sales flop. 16 was a moderate success but they more then likely promised 10 million week one or something like that. it's pretty standard for them at this point
16 was a huge flop and hasn't profited yet
The game is a massive success.
Cope seethe and dilate.
>Square and over-estimating how popular final fantasy is
It's always been like this since 7.
>16 was a moderate success
>$0 of profit despite making $147m in revenue from the 3m it sold meaning it is not a success
Maybe they thought XIV popularity would translate to XVI doing huge numbers?
Because XIV PC players would go out to buy a PS5 just for XVI, of course.
Are there even 10 mil ps5 owners?
SE took the hit in the previous qtr. The company made a huge profit off ff16. Stocks are stupid indicators of success
Basically it can't make up for all of Square's past failures.
It's over
It was. But it wasn't big enough to cover for marvel game flop and the one with female moron protagonist.
>I stumbled across it
patience little sister
>bet the boys at wowg would love this chud porn
Kek. He may be retarded, but at least he's not boring.
All they needed was to make a faithful 7 remake with better graphics, and release 16 on pc.
We're gonna see some real similar headlines about starfield next quarter when Microsoft numbers come out
>another Big Barry thread
barrymania is running wild everybody wants a piece of the King
Didnt ask + dont care + you're an abo
It's still winning GOTY.
youre deranged if you think this
ff16 didnt nearly enough hype to be goty lmao, it's gonna be totk
maybe baldurs 3 if the bribe is big enough
LMAO no it's not, it's probably not even gonna get nominated.
Nominees are gonna be BG3,TOTK, Starfield, Armored Core and RE4 remake and BG3 is gonna win.
nta but I doubt Armored core will be nominated. And while RE4 remake deserves to be, it won't either due to being a remake, that would cause a shitstorm. FF XVI will be nominated but won't get it. BG3 will
Nominations and awards depend on companies doing award campaigning. Sony will heavily push Final Fantasy to get it nominated.

I’m a big Fromsimp but if you were to tell me back in the ps1 day that a FF game is less likely to be nominated for whatever goty award than fucking Armored Core I’d laugh at such bullshit.
It’s funny how AC6 seems to have a lot bigger cultural impact than XVI. Memes out the ass from day one, from the copter to the schizowife to Waltuh. On XVI front I’ve hardly seen or heard anything.
It’s really fucking sad at this point.
great point, culture isn't spawning up around FF16.
The game is a literal movie game, probably even worse than TLoU2 and nuGoW
>It's still winning GOTY.
It's not even winning a soundtrack award.
I have literally not once said anything about it's financial success or sales because i have absolutely no reason to give a shit about any of that.
It is my GOTY, however. That or Armored Core.
Barry is Big Brother

what a bunch of bullshit. the game was fine. performing below expectations comes down to the retarded business decision to release it as a ps5 exclusive. square needs to fire the snoys infecting their board of directors

You mean the game that has even less depth than the original Final Fantasy?
i'm not saying the game was a masterpiece or anything, but it was still better than a majority of garbage releasing right now. definitely better than slopfield and balls hurt fag pee
People still play and discuss BG3 today because it has incredible depth
FF16 on the other hand is completely dead. People just come into these threads to take a shit and move on
>incredible depth
you mean incredible deep narrative choices like whether you want to get fucked by a chud or cucked by a chud?
/vpol/brain that doesn't even play the games he's talking about

i'm sorry you'll be hanging from a rope soon but when your gone we won't miss you

Will Yoshida anhero?
All major news outlets are reporting that Square is in shambles
Flop of the century
LEAVE US ALONE!!!!!
Fabula Nova Crystalis and Forspoken were in the same century
ffxv sold more than ff7r, ff16 and forspoken combined
FFXV also had 10 years of marketing, hype, and was not a playstation exclusive. It was one of those games everyone wanted to see, and when they did, it killed the series.
>it killed the series.
just like my yoshit
Screaming about naoki isn't going to get anyone to take you seriously. Square has a ton of issues, and he's not one of them... yet.
yoshit is a fine slop director that shouldn't have been working on 16 so I agree, management is the biggest problem for SE
but enough about hyenas
barry is too powerful, he bought 2bn in SE then dumped it and then he bought Google and the media to write headline like this....
BARRYYYYY!!!!!!
And now both are dead
lmfao
project barry guards you while you sleep
Why don’t snoys buy games?
3 million sales is worth more than 6 million game pass subs.
Why is Squre Enix's strategy "sell as many PS5's and EGS new accoun registrations as we can"?
Because the agreements were made years ago under old management. They had the new CEO come out to make a show of wanting to release games on more systems at that XIV con.
that's probably true, that motherfucker just loved putting on ridiculously expensive looking suits and shilling xiv on ps5 I remember
Yeah we have like 3 mentally ill FF16 cucks in here.
when the "I hate barry folder opens up you know shit is about to get real dilated
now you've done it prepare to be called a bald hurt gay fag
vii remake will likely get delayed now as they scramble to suddenly put effort into it.
They spent a decade basking in 14's financial success and arrogantly believed yoshit was a visionary, reality is still setting in for them
It is a success
>Bu bu bu but some MS shill said
Nah
nope
from ff16 not profiting from its budget and tanking the oi
There's that line break again
there's that cope again
>Didn't shills say FF 16 was a success?
it is, the loss of revenue is from the Gachas
Unironically one of the worst games I’ve ever beaten. It’s so fucking boring and railroaded.

¥10bn just to get ET'd. Would be sad if it wasn't so funny.
I can't believe how huge of a flop Forspoken was, it's unreal. The shitload of brand new copies being found in various landfills shortly after release was the cherry on top.
It was (for a PS5 title)
Guess what that entails
it sold well on PS5 by about 8 percent more than the ps4 comparison for ff15, but the execs are retarded or something. They expected like an 80 percent install base sales rate.
I can't wait for FF16 to actually release (on PC).
we all know xvi flopped
Good morning Melbourne
So Forspoken and XVI were flops?
Yeah. And now we had schizos from both sides trying to make each side seem worse when both are bad
I mean if it didn't meet expectations it didn't meet expectations but I think it's disingenous to blame this on XVI when you remember every other retarded decision Square Enix made in the past few years

This has nothing to do with FF16. 3 million sales isn't that bad, likely more sales than Starfield
So. I think I'm one of the few anons that read the actual articles and they are not blaming FF16 for it.
Headlines only mention FF16 as a way to drive engagement.
Main reasons why it's down is because:
>Avengers debt is still alive and well
>Forspoken caused major damage to the company income
>Bunch of mobile games being shut down because they are chasing F/GO and Genshit profits
>MMO sector down due to it being in late expansion cycle
Only reason FF16 was mentioned is because they thought it magically would cover the lost profits because of the above mentioned reasons.
You're not supposed to read
They will blame actual combat instead of moronified characters. And make more worthless shit. Because that's how asians are.
Noooooo. At least make Parasite Eve remake before you die Square Enix.
It's really just a combination of lazy uninspired releases and stock price doesn't matter SE could sit on their hands working on another FF15-tier disaster then still survive for a decade. I don't even like FF but this is just reality. Sega still exists and they're an even worse bloated company. Too big to fail is real
>only sell their games on ps5 and egs
Nnoooo why don't we sell copies and make money!!
Unrealized losses are not losses.
Market valuation is fantasy funny money.
None of this matters a lick.

Sellout hack thief with no talent or vision. The red flags were apparent from the very first teaser.
just release it on pc and I will buy it, fuck console exclusivity, that should have died with the 360/ps3
You people need to go outside.
cope I was away from the thread for the past 2 hours
Forspoken really made them lose lot.
Square isn't doing do good at least FF
16 was decrnt but wasn't enough.
Biggest mistake was that they thought that game with morons would sell well, but it killed studio hope they learn.
People don't seem to undertand that studio dying doesn't look good
soon the shills will be saying barry is a success
imagine being so bored at your job you write a nothingburger article nitpicking literal crumbs
2b down the drain there goes my final fantasy
Barry threads are something else.
Come back king. We need you.
I would take a bullet for that man
Why they try to scapegoat ff16?
It's the opposite. Square is doing everything they can to distance FF16 from the investor reports and blame it all on their failing mobile division / flopspoken / avengers. But the article mentions that if FF16 was a success it would turn things around by now, and that obviously didn't happen.
We probably won't know how hard FF16 actually flopped until Square releases numbers in the next fiscal quarter.
Until nomura is announced as director for ff17 there can no peace between B.A.R.R.Y. and the cult of yoshit
Imagine how fucked and most likely DEAD SE would be if they didn't have FF14.
YoshiP has destroyed FF. No wonder it's over.
It's just review bombing by chuds.
a source poster in the previous thread said nomura and taro were being installed as the project leads for FF17. that would be most ideal if true
Barry we've been over this Flopspoken and shitvengers lost them a whole lot of money.
Did every gaming journo forget about Flopspoken being the biggest reason for Square's loss in market value, or are they just saying it's because of FFXVI just to bait for clicks? To be fair, it could be both.

Shares going down doesn't mean the game bankrupt the company. It means shareholders and traders don't believe the company has "it".
it's hard to not call it high quality, but the market is never satiated with the presentation of AAA, they're honestly a lot happier with smaller scale games, but no one wants to give up the idea that a grand game has the chance of being the greatest thing ever, because the alternative is being happy with a game that can be played on a phone
Snoys were trying to defend it because they are scared shitless S-E won't offer their new games anymore to Sony for a modest fee. 2 out of 3 PS5 "exclusives" we S-E games Sony is nothing without free third party support.

the yoshida cult has arrived
I want to play FF16 but I'm a PC player so I'll wait until the PC release before I buy it.
I feel like the vast majority of the fanbase is on PC but square doesn't realize this.
ff16 cannibalized ff14 devs and budget for years
ff16 was a flop
ff14 has been damaged due to above
this company is retarded
FF16 was the best FF release Since FF13-2 (which was amazing)

had a coffee like 10 minutes ago and dropped a really long, steamy ff16 in the bowl
