Well, when you've got three FF mobage, you're kind of spreading your audience pretty thin.

I mean, I'd play the Toji no Miko game if it was out in the US (although I can understand why it isn't)...

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason was 'we didn't even consider that yet'.

It's time they got out of the mobile and back to consoles entirely. The well has dried up coupled with Belgium and other countries are banning F2P mobile games because in app purchases are gambling.

SE cannot catch a break recently, and it's all their own fault. They'll float on KH3 and FFXIV 5.0 for a while, though.

13 mobile games is a bit much. Add in XI and XIV as ongoing, and the several other projects in the works, and the company has been thinned out. It is no surprise that this is happening.

As someone who plays 2 of the mobile games (FFRK and KHUC), I personally would like SE to end one of these services soon. Eventually, all of these mobile games will be shut down, as it is only a matter of time.

It might be best for them to take it easy on the mobile front. They've already put out enough games and they have a lot of their bases covered.
