Shadowbringers was released 3 months after JP Fan Fest so it's possible for it to release early 2027. But yeah the dream of a late 2026 release is dead.

I just remembered SE wants to hit an Operating Margin of 15% next FY so it's probably early 2027. Also, from the mod usage letter:

(And one more thing: for those wondering what comes after the Japan Fan Fest...while I can't give any details just yet, rest assured you won't have to wait long.)

Yoshi P's argument about glam mods negatively affecting other players kind of falls apart when you remember that only people who have the mod installed can see it. If you install a mod that allows you to see other players custom glams, then you are effectively agreeing to the altered game experience which that mod provides.

They will probably pull a Capcom and cram as much as they can in their last quarter.

Makes me wonder when they will release FF7R3

I think his bigger point is able people blatantly streaming with it on which then changes how viewers would see the game. If the game is rated teen, but 100k+ people are making it 18++ and in many cases just GROSS, it creates problems for the IP they own. I mean fuck man, if they want to goon so bad, go make their own game with that shit. The game already took a turn for the worse when they added Thundercats as it was.

Yeah, next year is the final year of the company's 3 year restructuring and reboot so they probably want to end and start off with good numbers. Personally, I hope they just throw out KH4, FF7R-3, DQ12 and 8.0, but it's likely one or the other + 8.0. (Mainly because I want to play KH4, DQ12 & 7R-3 lol.) SE said we'd learn about 7R-3 around Ever Crisis 2nd anniversary which is next month, so maybe TGA or something.

I haven't played FF14 since 6.4 and I dread how much I have to catch up though, but I was spoiled on 7.3's stinger and at least it's heading in an interesting direction. I will see what this big Job rework is that Yoshi-P keeps talking about before re-subbing and if they finally add actual midcore content...

Having said that, right now we do have something really big planned regarding jobs. At this point in time, I cannot share any details. But I do hope that players will look forward to an announcement in the future.
