Recent Square Enix games have misfired due to the approach of each game being “a single producer’s fiefdom”.
That’s according to a new report from Bloomberg, detailing a recent drop in stock value of the company compared to its closest rival Capcom, though stock over the past couple of years has fluctuated but appears relatively stable. It’s claimed this recent drop is due to underwhelming sales of Final Fantasy 16, though it also follows the disappointing Forspoken and a number of smaller games released at the tail-end of last year that failed to make much of an impression.
Bloomberg sources include current and former Square Enix employees who remain anonymous, but stated the company’s approach is to give each project a single producer.

Final fantasy should have stayed turn based. Realtime combat is what secret of mana was for.
