Dear Square Enix,

[Darkoray1]

This thread is full of a lot of excuses. Could they do it? yes they could. Would it have its problems? yes it would but nothing they cant work around. Don't throw out the "its expensive crap either" they made $2.5 billion last year so as the OP stated, they ain't short of money. I personally have no issue with the way it is but enough with the excuses.

The operating income of all Square Enix MMOs is about 127,5 Mio. US-Dollar and that mostly because of releases like the FF14 Expansion, but also Dragon Quest and stuff.
Last year (without such releases) it was about 70 Mio. US-Dollar.

In what world do they make 2,5 Billion Us-Dollar with FF14?!

That's almost 14 million people subbing 12 months non-stop for 15 bucks.


Fortnite, generates maybe about 2,5 Mrd. Us-Dollar income a year (currently 250 Mio. $ a month?!)... you know.. Fortnite, the game everyone talks about because they make more money than anyone ever before. I wonder if Epic's players crunsh numbers to evaluate how much Epic "owes" them.

Nintendo made >55 Mrd. US-Dollar income with Pokemon so far... do they owe me a voiced version now, finally?

I didn't think rational thought were considered excuses. I mean, can you cite where you saw that they made $2.5 billion last year? Do you have access to SE's financial and fiscal reports that the rest of us don't know about? Whether or not the company makes enough money isn't exactly relative towards whether or not they could nor want to hire VA's for full-time since at best, everyone is speculating about how much the company makes without having any concrete facts to show for it.

Just because a company seems to make a lot money, doesn't mean they're using said finances effectively or that they can splurge on every single idea the playerbase comes up with.

Just my two cents. /shrugs

So you mean they had to spend EVERYTHING on FFXIV?
