- No major projects will take place other than those relating to the Final Fantasy series, which will also be expanded by spin-offs such as sub-series focused on certain characters in the game(s), starting from Final Fantasy XII.
- This fiscal year will be a preparation period for the next year, used to change the production line and other factors. Square aims to profit 4 to 6 billion Yen in stand-alone games and 1 to 3 billion Yen in online games by the end of the next fiscal year.
