Striking a Balance Between Mid-Budget and Big Budget Games

Square Enix's CEO suggests the company makes too many mid-budget games, but that's exactly where it's doing its best work. Despite struggling with big budget development for 15 years, Square Enix has found success with a string of less flashy RPGs in recent years.

By focusing on mid-budget games, Square Enix has been able to deliver high-quality experiences without the immense pressure and risk that comes with big budget projects. This strategy has allowed the company to explore new ideas and innovate in the gaming industry, ultimately leading to a more diverse and exciting lineup of games for players to enjoy.
