"Square Enix Aims to Streamline Game Production for Quality Over Quantity"

Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu emphasizes the need for the company to diversify its gaming output and focus on fewer releases, acknowledging the changing tastes of customers and the need for greater diversity in its title portfolio. He highlights the success of smaller games as evidence of the need to diversify and aims to strengthen internal development capabilities while concentrating resources on carefully selected new titles developed to a high level of quality. The company's upcoming releases, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and mobile game Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis, are seen as crucial factors in achieving its operating income target, with a focus on diversification evident in its upcoming game Foamstars.
