I chose to focus on a Square Enix statement saying development of a PS5 or Xbox Series X specific game was still a long ways off. It appears most games will be up-res versions of currents systems. So when will we see a truly next game JRPG like FF XVI or DQ XII? Lord only knows. But we did have plenty of actual news to talk about in smaller stories. As always thanks for listening!
