Two suggestions for Square Enix. One, make your games cheaper but with more, and not pay to win, opportunities for whales to invest in you. Two, make some masculine games.

Looking through their catalog on steam I see a lot of feminine games and feminine leaning rpgs. Sure that’s a good market and but if you wanna reboot, go for the opposite of that. Make a franchise that’s dark, gritty, brutal, mysteriously silent showing way more than it ever tells you about, serious but also a bit humorous, and badass about a main character who is easy for as many people as possible to like by default.

It’s not hard but this formula isn’t obvious especially to people who love drama and theatrics over or as much as raw action and meaning.
