If you genuinely believe a game that shutdown after like 10 months carried them, then i dont know who is the simple minded

Well dam, I somehow replied to the wrong person.
Good ol Internet lol

You are right, in reality Forspoken and Babylons Fall are carrying them hard


LOL

the fact that you're being so sincere with FFXIV carrying the company kinda is the biggest shill talk for a video game Ive ever heard. Please, the game is good but not THAT good. Even you who hates this game would think that statement is underserved and false considering your interpretation to the "quality" of this game. Unless....you really are a SE white knight all along?

If it was just FFXIV carrying them, SE as a company would be in a lot of trouble.

The internet is to blame for many things but your mistakes ain't one of them.

We can just make some guesses but I would assume they would atleast be bought by Sony or someone else lmao or would struggle to deliver games and eventually go bankrupt. FF14 carries them so much in the modern age it is not even funny. The biggest part is they dont even have to do much outside the few patches per year, it is very simple and relatively easy to upkeep. All money they get from 14 they pump into other projects, and these also make more profit through the reputation of 14 & FF in general and SE has build with it. SE never was better off. But this positive money loop is mainly build upon the golden days of FF thus gaining the reputation and 14 in the modern age especially.

You do realize theres other products beside FFXIV that SE has right?

But what if the RPG itself takes place in Japan? (I think Dawn of Sorrow does, at least at the start?)

I was actually curious about the weight behind these claims and here are the numbers I was able to pull up.

Top 3 grossing revenue for Square developed and produced games are;
3. Final Fantasy VII & Remake - 2B
2. FFXIV - 3.2B
1. Space Invaders 13.9B

So while FFXIV has made the second most grossing revenue for Square, it is a 13 year old MMO. Compared to the standalones before and after it, that\\'s actually not very good.
