Nothing. Damn sure wont develop a game for 10 years againSadly, it doesn't appear that they can afford rough spots...
So. When this game inevitably fails to reach these lofty expectations, what happens to SE?

Square is not going to die no matter how much this game bombs( if it bombs). They are financially really healthy company nowadays. Of course XV bombing would mean probably death of big budget JRPGs from them.
I think your expectations for a 20 year old remake that will be released episodically and despite the changes to the contrary will still need to maintain a semblance of the historical turn-based structure are seriously overblown.
People seriously believe that a remake of a 20 year old game will sell 10M copies?
The appetite for a FF7 remake is huge on gaming forums but won't be able to hit the way it did back then.
Of course it's not going to be GTA level. The most recent GTA has sold over 50m units. But 10m over the course of its life really isn't all that outlandish. As I mentioned, even The Last of Us is close to or has possibly exceeded that number. And that's a new IP.
They re-evaluate how they handle AAA productions most likely.
Their income will be fine though. They released jack shit last fiscal year and made record setting bank on the strength of their mobile and to a lesser extent MMO business.
This project is SE going all out. It could end great or badly. Hard to see an in-between.
Ah then I stand corrected. Then it's doable then but they need a pc versionNo Witcher series has shipped 20 million with half of that being Witcher 3. So almost 10 million.
Never happen with these characters. Noctis and the whole J Pop boyband is cringe worthy.
As a grown ass man, Id be embarrassed to be caught playing this game. I grew up playing Final Fantasy. Starting with FF1 on the Nes. It used to be about warriors and knights in armor with shields and swords. Not this bullshit skinny kid boyband crap.
After playing the demo FF is still dead to me
It will sell good in Japan though.
he is talking about the entire life-span of this Game
Ps4&Xbox One = 5-7 Mio
PC Version = 1-2 Mio
PS4K Version = 1 Mio
Nintendo NX Version = 1 Mio
i can see it happen? But it has to be a good game, with good reviews etc.
It will have a huge marketing campaing behind it with the movie and all the stuff.

Its embarrassingAre we still doing this lol
Last of Us also received universal praise and 10/10s across the board. FFXV would have to do the same and blow everyone's minds. Last of Us also had an updated release that caused a lot of people who originally bought the game to buy it a second time . We'll just have to see.
I think the huge numbers thrown around for those include marketing though. I'd assume most of the marketing expenses for FFXV are still coming up.Tabata recently commented on the budget and said that even including all the shit they wrote off when Versus was canned, the entire 10 year cycle for the project isn't remotely close to the numbers thrown around for GTAV and Destiny. So it's probably closer to 100 million than "a few hundred" million.
Maybe im way off the mark but I think this will sell more than 7 remake..
I do think his post is relevant though in that there's a lot of potential target audience where this is going to be a cultural issue even if they have a less extreme take.Are we still doing this lol

They aren't doing that..I dont expect them to hit that mark.
But maybe once they release FFXV-2, 3, etc they can meet or exceed that mark
Healthy expectations.
I just said exactly this to someone last night.
The event had a very clear underline of "Please please buy this game even if you don't like FF/anime/Japanese games in general."
Don't get me wrong, it was easily one of the very best conferences I've seen (being there in person was so rad), but I do also think there was a sort of quiet desperation that could be felt. A cry for help.

Would you feel better about it if the characters were buff, muscular westerners dressed in military outfits?
My coworker who doesn't play games bought a PS4 and said he will preorder FF7 upon hearing the announcement. Nostalgia is a powerful emotion.
The Witcher 3 is overrated trash though. Notice how nobody talks about it anymore now that the hype is gone? Just like what happened with Dragon Age: Inquisition and Bioshock Infinite kii. XV already has a lot more hype than W3 ever had, and we're still half a year away.
XV will undoubtedly double W3's numbers, mark my words.
