As a side, it would seem that the ever increasingly titled Final Fantasy series is proving lucrative for the developer with revenue up 31.3% (to 163.4 billion yen) for the year ending March 31 2007. Similarly operating profit topped out at 25.9 billion yen up from 15.47 billion the previous year. Surprisingly, despite shipping of 16.9 million units of software to retailers, net profit for the company went down by 32 percent to 11.62 billion yen - sheeesh, too many parties. Unfortunately for fans, it seems that all this yen counting has interfered with the creative process with Square Enix head honcho Yoichi Wada announcing that the development of FFXIII will need a bit more coding time; "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question." Oh Well, FFXII is so full of content; it will take most of us until next year to complete anyway. But it will be nice to make the Final Fantasy transition to the next-gen console world of the PS3; this will only heighten the anticipation. {moscomment} |
