JPButton Translation: Interview with Yoichi Wada

JPButton.com has once again translated an interview for the English-speaking fanbase for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI Online, this time tackling an interview with Square Enix President Yoichi Wada.

Square Enix came out on top of the 2008 sales war with their Final Fantasy-related titles released on portable consoles. The postponement of Dragon Quest IX - Defenders of the Starry Sky , coupled with a slump in the entertainment sector, hit their bottom line during the fiscal quarter up to March ‘09. However, they are now anticipating sales exceeding 3 million units during the next quarter. We are also drawing closer and closer to the release of the newest installment in the Final Fantasy series, which is expected to shake things up dramatically in 2010.

We spoke with CESA chairman Yoichi Wada about 2009 causing an upheaval in the gaming industry, and what his strategies and outlook for the future.
