00:00So as the fans community and the media might already be aware, Square Enix as a company had a little
00:06bit of a different approach in terms of our release strategy several years back.
00:10For example, the Final Fantasy titles were released on the SIE platforms before the other platforms, so we necessarily didn't
00:19take this multi-platform approach for those titles.
00:22But now with Takashi Kiryu being appointed as our CEO, we have shifted our strategy and our approach when we're
00:29focusing on a multi-platform release strategy.
00:32And personally, as a creator myself, I really align myself with that approach.
00:36I think that's the better method to kind of deliver our products and our titles to fans across the world.
00:41I think it's only a benefit for us to be able to kind of deliver our products to not just
00:45a specific audience of people, but to all gamers across the world, regardless of the console.
00:51So personally, I'm really favorable of that approach, and I see why our CEO, Kiryu, decided to take that approach
01:00and really feel that his vision is what's right for us.
01:03And I would say that the dev team is aligned with that, too.
