Well, the guy is very funny. Too bad he doesn't wear long stockings like the real thing, haha.
I think the new president is making a good strategic decision by being selective about the games to launch and getting rid the bad apples early on, even if they will cause losses.
I hope that the canceled games in this announcement are not FF or DQ related (well, not likely), but games that were outsourced to western studios (such as Outriders or Avengers, which did not meet expectations).
That said, Square Enix is doing great this year and will continue to do so.
FF7Rebirth is one of the most critically acclaimed games of the year and will most likely be named this year's GotY.
The FF16 DLC and the crossover with FF14 have also been very well received, and the upcoming release of the PC version will further expand the audience.
Of great interest is the release of the FF14 expansion pack this summer, which is one of the most played and critically acclaimed MMOs and has also extended its reach to the Xbox. This expansion will bring tremendous benefits to SE.
Also, Visions of Mana, due out this year, looks very good and promising.
Next year is expected to see the release of KH4. The previous game, KH3, was a huge hit, selling 7 million copies, and KH4 is expected to be a huge success as well.
Square Enix has much better material than this cancellation, and I'm very optimistic about their future outcome .
