Square Enix Crafting Another MMO, Big Question, Why

Square Enix is undoubtedly one of the biggest publishers in the industry. When it comes to MMO's though they've never had the best track record. Final Fantasy XI was never a smash success (though it did gain a cult following), and Final Fantasy XIV... well we all know how that worked out. Still Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada still believes they can make money off the MMO realm.

A transcript posted yesterdays of Square's May 13 earning call -Translated by Andriasang- Wada stated that they do have a new MMO title in development and that they hope to release more info about it this fiscal year. No word on what this new title is, but it's something seperate from their current games. The belief is that having two-to-three subscription based games will help the company maintain a cash flow.

In all of this news, Final Fantasy XIV is still broken. Wada did bring up those problems and illude to the fixes taking longer than expected, but a "target" is in site.
