Square Enix’s latest financial report is a textbook example of ‘good news, bad news’ for players. The bad news is that the studio had a poor quarter, losing 16% of the financial ground gained from the same period last year. A big part of that drop was the underperformance of HD game sales.
The good news? Final Fantasy XIV continues to be a solid performer and actually improved in its subscriber count year-over-year. Along with Dragon Quest X and Final Fantasy XI, the MMO side of the company went up a few billion yen this quarter.
