The issues isn’t about what we think is a success for not for the game vs Diablo 4 here. It’s what the investors say is or isn’t a success or not here. SE has had a losing streak since 2016 when they had a disastrous AAA games lineup that was beloved by the fans and reviewers but didn't sell well at all according to the investors, that give SE and its projects the thumbs up or thumbs down on future projects at this budget level here due to either slow turnaround time or no ROI here.
Fans of final fantasy do not want to hear this as even I don’t like SE’s decision to launch FF16 vs Diablo 4 in June here thinking it would get eaten alive by Activision’s money printing SaaS machine which (so far) it has as I (selfishly want more FF remakes of it’s older lineup and DQ games released in the west mainly the new DQ3 2.5HD remake on the PS5 and PC here as BC in modern consoles no loner exist as this only leaves emulation for older out of print games no longer being sold to play on the pc or a jailbroken/modded console nowadays.) And I don’t want to see Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest go the way of most JRPGS having to go to MMOs because of Activision and 2K constantly reseting the market on games investor profits and turnaround time on ROI expectations here just to break even let alone a profit for SE to remain alone without it being bought out by a company like Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo as what happened to the Xenogears creator studio monolithsoft LSI back in the day here.
