Square Enix Loses Nearly $2 Billion in Value Since Final Fantasy 16

[CNitsah]

14 carries the company so it will never get canceled dont worry bud

Honestly with the lack of attention it had recently, and how people will blame FFXVI relative failure (if it's really one, I have no opinion on that, but from that article, it seems at least disappointing) on Yoshida, the game might not be cancelled, but I would not be surprised if it suffered big changes, and maybe not for the better. SE is not known for his strategic choices, and the president coming from the strategic division, I have a lot of doubts on his capacity to deal with the problem. SE is the Capcom from 15 years ago.

Having to wait until 2024 to be able to possibly buy FF XVI isn't helping it as they do have that 6 month exclusivity for the PS5 and I dunno how long it'll take them to actually make a port of it...

That too. This was probably their worst mistake. FFXIV players were probably the most easy player to convert into FFXVI sales, and despite FFXIV being mainly played on PC outside Japan, they chose to cut that part of the playerbase. Now that the reception is out and opinion on the game are divided, I'm not sure the sales on PC will be as high as they would have if it was a simultaneous or a one month separated release. The window of intersest is closed, and the FFXVI pc Sales will probably follow those of XV, serve as the platform for long time sales of the game, but I doubt there will be any big peak.
