In spite its shortcomings FFXIV keeps getting cited among the reasons why Square Enix is doing better. Here's an interesting snippet:

In the three month period ending June 20, the company pulled in ¥37.8 billion in revenue, a 57 percent increase on the ¥24.1 billion earned in the same period 12 months prior. This difference translated over into profit too, with the company making ¥3.4 billion where it lost ¥493 million previously.
It's a nice turn-around in fortunes for a company that, this time last year, was having their CEO resign due to poor financial performances.
With Chinese version still not released, do you think SE will be able to raise its expectations again before the year closes out or do you think the criticism over changes to the game and the pricing of their mobile market begin to weigh on their bottom line?
