- In fiscal year 2024, the launch of the Dawntrail expansion again boosted MMO revenue, helping offset declines in other areas

FFXIV likely generates between $300 million and $500 million USD per year, depending on expansion cycles and subscriber activity.

If we take the estimated annual revenue range for FFXIV $300 million to $500 million USD then 40% would be:
- 40% of $300 million = $120 million
- 40% of $500 million = $200 million

As of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, Square Enix reported net sales of ¥324.5 billion, which is roughly $2.3 billion USD depending on exchange rates. If we treat that as a proxy for their “entire budget” (since companies don’t usually publish a single “budget” figure), then:

- 40% of ¥324.5 billion = ¥129.8 billion, that’s approximately $920 million USD


Well spoken and said.

And i've always been a strong advocate of the things you are saying.
