>CyberAgent <4751> has experienced a significant decline in stock price. The cause appears to be the release of 'FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS,' a game jointly developed by its subsidiary Applibot and Square Enix Holdings <9684>, which was launched on the 7th. As of the 8th, the game ranks 10th in the AppStore app sales rankings. Given the high anticipation and popularity of this IP, some consider 10th place in the sales rankings as underwhelming. Square Enix Holdings is also trading at a lower price."

The game literally just launched
And already flopped. I wonder how hard Square Enix is seething right now as they had high expectations of selling another FF7 mod with ridiculously greedy gacha slapped on.
FF7EC launched with multiple bugs, many users were unable to log in and left a ton of one star reviews that were later deleted by S-E. If you go to official Twitter they acknowledge connectivity issues and stamina boosters not working, lol.
Let it burn.
Mobile games usually sell the most on release unless it's a super popular one like Genshit or FGO.
Nowadays I get sick pleasure from watching just how much SE can shit up FFVII with compilation garbage
Yes, SE is known for being an untrustworthy mobile game dev by that audience. It is unlikely they will gain the market share they want, since they already (spontaneously) shut down several games after getting people to invest in them. These shut-downs came quickly, and without warning to the audience.
EC may well go the same way.
But young Sephiroth looks so hot, the game needs to live. Maybe we'll get swimsuit costumes for him.
You'd have to be retarded to trust any mobile game SE releases nowadays. They killed the Valkyrie Profile gacha like a year after its NA launch, total disgrace
They killed Mobius and from what I understand people actually liked that game
Mobius was based

SE Mobages are cursed, I think only 2 or 3 went beyond the 2 year mark
square enix hasn't made a good game since kingdom hearts 2 (they published nier automata if you want to be generous). you have to be retarded to hype anything related to them at this point. the company that created chrono trigger, ff7, fft, xenogears etc no longer exists and hasn't existed for over a decade, maybe 2
If you're playing on mobile does this game bind itself to your google account or did I fucking lose everything from reinstalling because I was stuck on a loading screen last night?
>when you're a talentless company trying to milk a dead franchise
go beg sony for another cheque square
Anyone who thought it would do well isn't a Sqaure fan otherwise you'd know they launch and kill gacha every few months and yet the one gacha they have that makes money still doesn't have a global version
They keep trying to force ff7 into the mobile game market but it's just not going to work, the consumers don't have that level of nostalgia for it. I swear ff7 is one of the most retardedly handled things in games literally all they had to do was a straight remake and they would be swimming in money.
They gotta stop trying to cash in on the mobile market. It clearly isn’t working out for them.
Bring on rebirth. Looking forward to it.
This somehow isn't even the first FFVII Remake-based mobile game they've launched and the first one already shut down.
How will Genki and other shills cope?
name 1 (one) game from Square Enix that they don't consider a disappointment
So the reason behind is that it is ff7 therefore it it should be #1 all the time
Are they putting diversity hire to make this analysis?
SE boomers are still living in "on the coattails of FF7's success" moment.
The game's cool, I'm liking it
>the game is not a real remake
>ff7, cc:ff7 and ff7: the first soldier are all the stories included in the game
>they are not even finished
>they are divided in episodes and can't explore the zones like in the original ff7 for the ps1
The game's shit.
They are so hard on damage control that they literally announced sephiroth as playable character in the next update for the first soldier storyline.
>first soldier storyline
>announced as a young Sephiroth story
>UHMM ACTUALLY it' about third class literal whos and Sephiroth!
who asked for this?
figures Barry would dig deep to find some snippet of news to shit on something 7 related
Those new threads have to be the worst shilling attemtps ever, it's funny as hell
As much as I enjoy FFVII lore, I don’t like them going backwards then sideways.
They shoulda kept going beyond dirge of Cerberus and just made FFVII-2. Not this remake and ever crisis nonsense.
its like square can never escape the panic mode
