A man can dream. And as long as they don't completely abandon consoles, I will pray for them regaining their senses.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

They made the right decision by not abandoning FF XIV after the underwhelming release. It is paying off. |
And its an awesome game, the original FF XIV was one of the worst MMOS ever, but Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn is one of the best.

SE seem to be getting back on their feet since Wada departure, as a company they are less confused with better management. Their upcoming titles look promising, XV has the potential to be the best game they made in years. |
Whenever he enters the room, their employees should always respond "Wada-wada-wada-wada-wada-wada" while playing Pac-Man directly on an arcade machine. They shouldn't have any trouble getting one.

Have they actually recouped the losses of the original disaster?
Its impressive none the less that they've made a successful MMO these days, the only other two alive are WoW and GW2. The three titles have basically solidified all forms of MMO, though I have no idea how AA is doing at current.
It's been a surprising turnaround. Credit to the new management, the idea of heavily diversifying their offerings is paying off. They're consciously running the gamut from low-budget mobile games to high cost AAA titles, with a lot of titles in between. That said, they attribute a part of their success to subsidization by the console makers, and are going to try to expand on that stream of revenue. I'm not sure that's a wise idea.

Not enough info, we don't even know the budget of the project.

lol 
well deserved, I'd say
Good for Square Enix. With the excrption of FF XV, their Japanese games are no longer my interst anymore. But their western team/Edios part is what get my attention. I can't wait for more Tomb raier/ deus ex/ hit man and thief.
