I realise that's when the fiscal year ends. But "fiscal year 2020" could still mean the year that starts in April 2020, rather than the year that ends there.
I'm just not familiar with the standard terminology for such things.
It could be this year, but I’d assume that at the earliest the game could be ready by late 2019. In that case, it’d put them in the same scenario Kingdom Hearts III was in. Every holiday season has a lot of gaming competition. Not sure what all we will see this year, but I’m sure there will be a lot of games.
Of course, it’s possible they’re way further along than we think and that it could release earlier than the holiday season, but I just don’t foresee that.
It seems to me that SQE’s competitors will be working around the release of 7R rather than the other way round.You’ll get the usual annual Call of Duty, FIFA etc around that time, but I’d hope SE stick to holiday 2019 as it’s the Final Fantasy 7 Remake! It should be able to take on any game
It's extremely exciting news for sure - there's been many a false dawn these last few years but they're surely running out of anything else to market, nothing else makes any sense ...The fact that they said 'look for announcements in the run up to E3' regarding the Q3 issue, makes it seem almost definite to me. What else could they possibly announce at E3 (or just before) that's that big.
The operating income target was nearly 4 times as high as last year's. So 4 times Tomb Raider and Just Cause 4 combined. They dont own anything other than FF7 that's that big.
I'm just happy they're acknowledging the idea of saying things BEFORE E3. Because 4 months can feel really, really long at this point when we know there's stuff supposed to be happening this year.
It would also mirror the FFXV Uncovered event in April 2016 and release in November 2016.There was that rumor that they were gonna have a special event in April.
The wording in this investors briefing does seem to fit that rumor. It also fits the fact that they do like to build things up a lot before release. June->December would be very short hype period for Squenix.
That's only accurate when worded such as SE did here -- i.e. "FY2019/3," or "Fiscal Year ending March 2019."Yeah the terminology 'Fiscal Year 2020' means from April 2019 to April 2020. So as stated in the snippit, a holiday release for the fiscal year 2020 could only be oct to december 2019.
That's only accurate when worded such as SE did here -- i.e. "FY2019/3," or "Fiscal Year ending March 2019."
Just "FY2019" is going to mean the fiscal year that began in 2019 -- at least as far as Japan is concerned. In the U.S., it's the opposite.
