They need to go back to making more decent games and spreading their talent in other places besides the core FF team. Why does Dragonquest take so fucking long between entries? Bring back Parasite Eve, Mana games, smaller RPGs. Focus less on top end graphics and focus more on gameplay and stories.
Well apparently their take away was "fewer but bigger game", which is pretty much the opposite.
I dunno, maybe it makes some sense, they've tried doing more smaller title, like octopath traveler, star ocean, valkyrie profile and an handful of snes remake (front mission live a live), maybe they all really bombed and didn't recup cost (I doubt it, unless they miss managed those project, but idk). They are bringing mana back, with a new title releasing soon, and the trial of mana remake a few year back, dunno how well it'll do.
They really could pick their project better too, they've been obsessed with the saga franchise for some reason even though it was always super niche (cause it was never really good). They've also re release tactics ogre again (while ignoring the superior FFT) and they've been doing weird colab (babylon fall, stranger of paradise) that really doesn't play to their strenght (or the strenght of their IP, stranger of paradise managed to have a worse story than FF1 with probably 100x more dialogue).
But really, my guess is that at this point the old guard is in control of management, they all given themselves massive pay raise, and nothing but massive smash hit could justify their cost.
