Square Enix revealed its financial results for the last six months ending September 30.From the report, we learn that while profits may be down,Final Fantasyis reaching new milestones.
The report reveals a 33.4% drop in operating income and a 42.1% decline in ordinary income. According to the company, there has been a fall in net sales for MMOs and games for PCs and smart devices because the latest releases including the “September launch of ‘Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis‘ were unable to compensate for factors including weak performances by existing titles.”
Final Fantasy is still one of Square Enix’s greatest assets
Don’t take this as a sign that Square Enix is doomed, however, as there is a 5.3% increase in net sales. The company attributes this rise, in part, toFinal Fantasy 16andFinal Fantasy Pixel Remaster.
This isn’t the only positive thing revealed about the franchise, as the company also claims that it has sold over 185 million copies. This is good news forfans, as reports earlier this year suggested thatFinal Fantasy 16did not meet the upper end of expectations.
Dragon Questalso gets a mention, and it is stated that it has sold 88 million copies globally. Looking forward,Final Fantasywill have plenty more chances to boost its sales.Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthis set to launch on August 05, 2025, and a PC port ofFinal Fantasy 16is still on the way.
