In the second quarter of this year, Square Enix made a number of changes to its corporate structure and game development direction, including a strategy of "quality over quantity". As for whether this light number is to reduce the development of small-scale games, SE officially gave a denial answer, saying that it is still committed to the development of small-scale games and indie games.
Takaji Kiryu, president of Square Enix, said that if indie games are defined as casual, small- and medium-sized games, then SE is working hard to develop these games. Although I can't disclose which games are currently in development, SE's development pipeline will not only include large-scale games, and the development of indie games should not be excluded.
With Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Reborn underperforming as expected, Square Enix has launched a new medium-term business plan. SE also said that it will reduce the number of projects and focus on multi-platform distribution of triple-A games, but in addition to pillar IPs such as "Final Fantasy" and "Dragon Quest", a large number of small-scale HD-2D titles such as "Octopath Traveler" also have a large player base. I just hope that when I fry cold rice, SE can use dim sum.
