Square turns profit, thanks to Deus Ex, XIII-2, and smartphone apps.

That's it really.

Glad that they're up from last year I guess.

I kinda wondered for a bit there, "since the first Final Fantasy got them out of bankruptcy, what would do it a second time?"

It turns out, that the answer to that is Deus Ex, DLC, facebook and smartphones. Not sure if want.

Facebook? What? What do they have to do with Facebook? (non-FB user here)

[up] Final Fantasy Brigade

EDIT: I could have sworn there was some sort of facebook Final Fantasy thing Square was doing. Maybe I imagined it...

Knights Of The Crystal.

So Final Fantasy XIII 2 and Deus Ex Human Revolution saved Square Enix's financial bacon.

Deus Ex remake? Because I would kill for that.

> Knights of the Crystal

What is this I don't even

That FF Brigade actually sounds interesting though.

> Deus Ex

YES

> FFXIII 2

Good for them, even if I wasn't really a fan of it. Here's hoping the next FF is better.

It's starting to look good for the chances of a Deus Ex sequel!

Woo, Deus Ex sequel! Let's call it Deus Ex IV: Denton's Revenge.

You also forgot Chocobo's Crystal Tower. Of course, Facebook beta's closed too. Why did Square Enix close both their Facebook games?

Huh, I got the impression DX underperformed.

@nomuru: Probably because of lack of interest. I played both for a while (a little while before I gave up on Facebook games completely) and found them kinda boring.

I hope you get tiny bits of eggshell in all your omelettes for the rest of your life!
