"Square Enix Aims for Quality Over Quantity with Diverse Game Releases"

Square Enix's president, Takashi Kiryu, expressed a desire to release fewer but more diverse games, acknowledging the need to expand beyond the company's traditional RPG focus. He emphasized the importance of strengthening internal development capabilities and making acquisitions to achieve this goal. Kiryu also highlighted the success of titles like Powerwash Simulator and the need to differentiate their portfolio in response to evolving customer preferences. While Square Enix remains committed to its flagship franchises, such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, it aims to pursue a more varied and streamlined approach to game development in the future.
