This admission comes after a detailed financial results briefing held in May, now made public.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 Underperforming in Profits<\/h2>\n<h3>The Financial Statement<\/h3>\n<p>Square Enix president <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/finalfantasy.fandom.com\/wiki\/Takashi_Kiryu\">Takashi Kiryu<\/a><\/strong> discussed the performance of their major titles. &#8220;In the HD Games sub-segment, we released multiple new titles, including major titles such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Final_Fantasy_XVI\">Final Fantasy 16<\/a><\/strong> and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but profits unfortunately did not meet our expectations,&#8221; he said. The initial sales of both Foamstars and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, released in Q4 of the last financial year, were &#8220;not as strong as expected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Timeline and Speculation<\/h3>\n<p>These comments were made in May when Square Enix announced an aggressive multiplatform strategy. Reports emerged that the company laid off several employees in its US and European offices. At that time, Final Fantasy 16 had been out for a year, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ffvii.square-enix-games.com\/en-gb\/games\/rebirth\">Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth<\/a><\/strong> for less than three months. Speculation about the sales underperforming in profits has been rampant among industry analysts.<\/p>\n<h2>Understanding the Underperformance<\/h2>\n<h3>Sales Data and Official Acknowledgment<\/h3>\n<p>Circana&#8217;s sales tracking showed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as the fourth top-selling game in the US but still lagging behind <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1462040\/FINAL_FANTASY_VII_REMAKE_INTERGRADE\/\">Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/a><\/strong>. Kiryu&#8217;s statement is the first official acknowledgment of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 underperforming in profits. However, the exact degree of underperformance remains unclear, especially given Square Enix&#8217;s notoriously high expectations.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Developments and Future Prospects<\/h3>\n<p>Since the financial report, two significant events have occurred. Firstly, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eu.finalfantasyxiv.com\/dawntrail\/\">Final Fantasy 14 expansion Dawntrail<\/a><\/strong> was released in July, which could positively impact overall profits in the next financial briefing. Final Fantasy 16 was released on PC yesterday, marking the company&#8217;s commitment to multiplatform releases.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spcdn.shortpixel.ai\/spio\/ret_img,q_cdnize,to_auto,s_webp:avif\/igamemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Final-Fantasy-7-Rebirth-image-3.webp\" alt=\"Final Fantasy Profits Falter: Square Enix Shares Surprising News image 3\" width=\"710\" height=\"378\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next for Final Fantasy?<\/h2>\n<h3>Potential Expansion to Xbox<\/h3>\n<p>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth remains a PS5 console exclusive for now but might follow Final Fantasy 7 Remake with a PC release in the future. There&#8217;s also a possibility that these games could come to Xbox. Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida mentioned the desire to &#8220;further deepen the relationship with Xbox gamers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Articles<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Final Fantasy 16: PC Release Times Around the Globe\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/final-fantasy-16-pc-release-times-around-the-globe\/\">Final Fantasy 16: PC Release Times Around the Globe<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"Final Fantasy 7 Remake 3 Stays True to Original\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/final-fantasy-7-remake-3-stays-true-to-original\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Final Fantasy 7 Remake 3 Stays True to Original<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"A New Era Dawns: A Review of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth\" href=\"https:\/\/igamemag.com\/a-new-era-dawns-a-review-of-final-fantasy-vii-rebirth\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">A New Era Dawns: A Review of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 &#8220;did not meet expectations&#8221; in profits.
