The release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on February 29th was highly anticipated by fans of the iconic saga. Despite receiving critical acclaim and being the highest-rated game of the year on MetaCritic, sales have not met expectations, leading to significant implications for Square Enix’s future strategy.
While no official sales figures have been released, it is clear that this fiscal year’s numbers are below expectations for Square Enix. This situation has prompted the company to rethink its strategy, focusing on multi-platform games and canceling several projects.
Two of these projects include the highly anticipated Final Fantasy IX Remake and Final Fantasy Tactics Remake. While there are indications that these projects are real and currently in development, fans will have to wait for further announcements. According to the leaker Midori, there should not be high expectations for updates on these games. Despite several upcoming events, many fans had hoped to learn more about Square Enix’s future projects, but it seems that they will have to wait longer.
This communication leaves many fans puzzled, as they were expecting a stronger response from the Japanese company. It appears that a significant update on these projects will not be forthcoming anytime soon, and fans will have to remain patient for further developments.
