    The money clock of SE?

    As in is SE going to run out of money to fund the game?

    Only if SE isn't making money from their other businesses that can fund FFXIV.

    And from what I can find on Google, no, SE is not running out of money.
    They are going to make a shitload in two weeks with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. They have the new Tomb Raider coming soon as well. KH3DS even though the 3DS is one of nintendos first major Flop Consoles since the Virtual Boy will sell really well, though I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the PSP/PSV.

    Oh then you have all the casual games they sell on IOS and Android, FFT, FFIV, FFIII, Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders, etc.

    Oh THEN you have Manga which is probably one of thier biggest divisions. They own popular series like Soul Eater and Full Metal Alchemist. Every time Adult Swim airs an episode of FMA:B Square gets a few pennies you know.

    Oh THEN You have Playarts. Which is the Toy store SE owns which designs and sells toys for games, NOT just Final Fantasy anymore. They do Bleach, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Halo, and many others as well as Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Err...the 3DS is a flop comparable to the Virtual Boy? Wonder if you're just speaking in bias towards Playstation systems, since the 3DS is doing 100x better than the VB ever did.

    3DS has already had a price drop because of poor sales.

    And the NDS had a price drop within its first year too. To call a system a "flop" when it's still being supported and selling is wrong.

    The 3DS did "flop", that's why they were forced to drop the price faster than i've ever seen done to a console, and not by a small amount. Mind you, they're plenty in time to turn things around, but the fact that launch was unsuccessful is simply a fact.

    Doing 100x better than one of the worst failures in the portable market isn't a degree of success.

    @Cairedas: you're forgetting Arkham City, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and quite a lot of other strong games in the pipeline. If there's a company in the market that won't run out of money anytime soon, that's square enix, despite what the trolls wish.

    It's pretty bad to say it failed just as badly as the VB did which simply isn't true, though I guess it's just the new generation version of the term "flop" considering 3DS is stuck in a typical cycle that happens when consumers decide to wait for something to get it, which then in turn makes developers wait to support the system because they don't see fan demand for it being high. They pushed it out way too soon, but the sales on Zelda OoT 3D kind of shows it didn't "flop", just doing poorly, especially given it was way overpriced.

    It is a bad launch, no one denied that, but a fail on the size on VB? Far from it honestly.
