Square-Enix’s 2015 sales and profits were up, thanks in part to Final Fantasy XIV

Square-Enix’s fiscal results for the last three-quarters of 2015 are in, and it’s good news all around. Net sales were up almost 30% year-over-year, resulting in profits boosted by a nearly quarter compared to 2014.

The company attributed its success to multiple franchises and console launches. MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is named twice as a strong performer.

“During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2015, sales of character goods derived from the Group’s own IPs increased, primarily thanks to the release of the first expansion disc of FINAL FANTASY XIV.”

“Revenues from operation and expansion disc sales of massively multiplayer online role playing games such as FINAL FANTASY XIV and DRAGON QUEST X are sustaining their strong performances.”
