Square to focus on multiplayer over single-player, games as a service

It does look nice, but don't expect it to be the norm anymore. 

I think a lot will depend on sales and ratings. Square Enix is not stupid (I mean, not as stupid as some other companies) so they will keep focussing on games that make the most profit.

Yeah, the same thing was said about Bravely Defualt.  It sold well and now we're back at Square being stupid.

To anyone talking about how much money games cost to make - these companies make their money back without cynically nickel and diming consumers.  The problem is Square-Enix.  They are the perfect blend of greedy slimeballs(Final Fantasy All the Bravest, way overpriced mobile ports of decade old games) and incompetent business people.  The company HEMORRHAGES money on nearly every project they touch.

So none of this "blame HD" bollocks, if companies didn't make the money back they wouldn't be companies anymore - period.  Sqaure and often times Capcom are just fucking incompetent.
