Hey Square Enix, that is the level we except in cut scenes!

[Sharindel]

First of all, how do you know the exact number? Second, it's definitely understandable with ff16 since it's another cbu3 baby, but forspoken is done by different department and have been in development long enough. Third, you're assuming that ff14 doesn't receive external resources (manpower and/or finance) from other titles as well.

Also, I don't really remember where I read the report, but it's actually Squeenix mobil game titles that create the biggest revenue. Sure, ff14 maybe profitable, but the cost to maintain server itself is pretty high.

Again, you can't really compare mobile single player gacha game with MMORPG. And frankly, I don't really but that quality alone is the reason people open their wallet. Gacha game relies on creating appealing (design wise) new charactes, power creep, FOMO, amd most importantly, gambling addiction for people to spend money.

1. 1. I use the internet! You know that thing that we can use to get information directly from the company! Like from the website from Kuro Games where they give out the information. Like SE give the numbers out in there financial report!
2. Lets make it simple. Forspokens main investor is the publisher, the publisher was Squere Enix. So if SE invest in such a development, 70% of there income that comes from subscriptions of FF14, than the player of FF14 have payed there money to let them make another game. They do not use that money that they use for Forspoken to build a new engine for FF14 or hire a new team who reduce the patch cycle from 4 to 2 month. When 70% of your income is only by people who want a better ff14, you should invest in that first! And yes you also can hire with that money external companies who maybe rework the glamour system, polish every item to a new color system o r anything else than to produce another game. But yeah it is not that simple! I know! But! Its not a good thing to invest money in new products, when you main product is falling apart!
3. What? FF14 is in MMO? Where? Joke aside, can you or not play the whole story of ff14 without need of a group? Yes you can! You need nobody to play the whole story campaign solo. Wuthering has only a coop mode and yes they have no raid. But i do not compare the raids with each other, that would be apples and oranges. But from what most of the player base do, they never need another player in this FF14.

So please stop white knighting SE with such excuses...
