Ah, it's 12 billion. The next paragraph says it how we are used to reading it.

"The revision is due to extraordinary losses, in part from a "tightened selection standard" for games. This will result in 4.5 billion yen in losses related to development cancellations. A press release announcing the revision did not share specifics beyond this."

lol what???

12,000 x 1,000,000 yen = 12,000,000,000 yen, or in other words, $150 million

You be forgettin' some zeroes in that equation of yours.

I was told its not that bad something due to like 8.8 billion in write offs due to disaster or something like that the person who typed all the crap out will not be back in town until Sat and he left his Token at home so can not post on these forums

The company will also incur a "loss on disaster" of approximately 0.6 billion yen related to the Tohoku earthquake.

With 4.5 billion yen in cancellations.

"extraordinary losses" is an accounting term for losses due to something odd that happened, such as a tornado, earthquake, 9/11 (for instance), tsunami, etc. This isn't that harmful because all SE cares about is that its investors keep investing, when its a loss due to extraordinary events the investor will most likely think its not that big a deal as SE will crawl out of this hole within a year, so I wouldn't see SE scrapping any major projects to alleviate losses. i.e., they wont scrap a Final Fantasy project because of this, but most likely something not so definitive of the company itself, like other games they might be publishing.

I feel that SE will learn nothing from this. Continuing with there secretive development, thus forcing the community to live with whatever they wish to serve up. Like a restaurant not taking your order and just telling you its going to be good, then when its served you find out it has peanuts and your allergic.

FF14 is dead.

I guess this game did worse than FFX-2.......
