Square Enix told investors it will be more 'selective' about the games it makes

Square Enix ’s games have been hit or miss for years, and now the publisher behind Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and other blockbuster RPG s says it plans to be more careful about which projects it invests in.

Long-time Dragon Quest producer Yu Miyake stepped down from the role earlier this year amidst apparent delays.
