Final Fantasy Tactics will hit the App Store on September the 15th. Square Enix CEO, Yoichi Wada has informed that the course of the Japanese publisher will alter radically over the years, parting further away from significant Final Fantasy RPGs and taking signals from online game firms in China and Korea.
Digital distribution and online social games are the future of gaming industry, according to Wada, and the alterations he sees are fraction of a proposal by Square Enix to remain ahead of the bend. As an instance, rather than develop a full-price Final Fantasy title, the Company could divide the game into a number of episodes and vend them for $5 each.
Two things are pretty obvious: The distribution channels will modify and the proceeds model will alter, Wada told Forbes at E3. It will occur in the whole industry and the company wants to stay on top of this tendency.
In addition to that he said that digital distribution permits publishers to in a straight line communicate with its customers.
One more alteration in development direction apart from the stress on non-Final Fantasy titles to assist in expanding the company's portfolio, will be the addition of some constituent of multiplayer or social gaming into every Square Enix title.
