"SPARE NO EXPENSES"

[hunkygladiator]

Where have the expenses gone? Did Square Enix spend 100 million dollars on designing a relic step that takes 1500 astronomy?

[Stormpeaks]

Id say about 500k went towards maintaining FF14, and 99.5m went to FF16

Yeah seems about right

Is this troll post? Mao can't imagine company needing to spendings 100 million Gils on single patch.

Don't be silly, Skiros.

We all know that money got dumped on NFTs -w-

As I'm getting similar questions so I shall re-post. FF17 is not a RPG game. Could attack with sword subjectively but not an action hitting game either. By incorporating with the concept of connection(NFT), it's totally brand new genre called NFT game(social crypto system).

While an obvious troll post, Yoshida did make that statement. Just not necessarily with the context being used here.

Final Fantasy 14 Surpasses 24 Million Players, Becomes Most Profitable Final Fantasy Game In the Series

Indeed, Yoshida says Final Fantasy 14 is the most profitable title in the Final Fantasy series. "It's perhaps unbecoming of me to say but in terms of our business, we've been able to achieve great success. Moving forward, we're going to spare no expense with our investments to ensure that this game continues to be one which our players can enjoy."

My god I swear this forum just complains about everything.

Yes EW probably hasn't been as strong as SHB, but some of you are acting like Yoshi P is personally slapping you in the face.

Ironically, it has been. Population explosion, and even if the late-patch "lulls", there's still a significantly higher active playerbase than there was during similar points in ShB. Just have to get outside the negative echo chamber that is a dozen or so sad, bitter regulars on this forum that can't stand the thought of people enjoying the game.
