Shareholders Ask About Future IPs and Game Releases
Square Enix's 43rd Annual Shareholders Meeting just took place and the occasion provided shareholders a forum to inquire about the company's goals and tactics. The discussion featured several fascinating subjects, such as the future remastering of old games, game release schedules, and cross-title collaborations.
Remastering Older Titles After Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster
One shareholder expressed interest in the popular game Xenogears and asked Square Enix whether they planned to remaster any further older works after Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster.
In response, the board of Square Enix chose to withhold any precise details about upcoming games. However, they recognized that the business was taking a variety of proposals into consideration. They expressed optimism that fans can expect future developments.
Game Release Schedules: Balancing Quality and Development Challenges
Another issue at the conference concerned Square Enix's relatively long time gaps between game releases when compared to its competitors in the sector. Shareholders also wanted to know when significant titles are going to be released.
The board declined to provide details in its response. It nonetheless emphasized the importance of the company's internal development organization. They stressed how difficult it has gotten to build big-name games, which affects the development time.
Cross-Title Collaborations: Exploring New Formats for IPs
Shareholders were interested in Square Enix's strategy for cross-title partnerships and whether the business intended to diversify the forms in which it would use its intellectual properties (IPs).
Square Enix reaffirmed its commitment to providing its consumers the best products. They highlighted the ongoing initiatives to investigate chances for cross-title collaborations and broaden their intellectual property's use.
No Change For Cloud Strife's Voice Actor
A shareholder asked if there will be any changes to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's lead voice actor since being involved in scandals recently. The shareholder found it problematic that the scandals may hurt the character's role and the brand image of the title. Director Kitase said they carefully developed the characters and the universe of Final Fantasy VII's look and feel. There will be no changing that stance and so Cloud Strife's Japanese voice actor may remain the same.
Square Enix's 43rd Annual Shareholders Meeting offered valuable insights into the company's plans and aspirations. While specific details regarding remastered titles and release schedules remain undisclosed, the meeting showcased Square Enix's dedication to its fans and the ever-evolving gaming landscape.
By considering the remastering of beloved classics, strengthening internal development capabilities, and exploring cross-title collaborations, Square Enix aims to continue providing exceptional entertainment experiences to its loyal audience while expanding its reach to new mediums and formats.
