Yes, the problem isn't the (if true) $100M budget itself, but Square-Enix focus in single player games. They need to make more online multiplayer games like Final Fantasy XIV and Dragon Quest X, that will save them for sure.

So true.

Analysts... why do they even exist? They give no good advice.

And for the record... Tomb raider HAS multiplayer. Someone needs to inform that analyst of that.

FFXIV has been a disaster and a huge money sink for SE. I don't know if the game is SE's biggest critical flop, but it is definitely its biggest commercial flop. Another Final Fantasy MMO is the last thing it needs right now. What it should do is get to making the games people are begging for and stop plopping down so much resources into the presentation side of things.
