儘管發佈了《最終幻想16》，但銷售卻停滯不前，史克威爾艾尼克斯控股有限公司（場外交易代碼：SQNXF）準備修改其遊戲開發戰略。
According to Bloomberg (via IGN), Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu announced plans for a new structure by spring 2024 to enhance game quality.
據彭博社（通過IGN）報道，史克威爾艾尼克斯總裁桐生隆宣佈計劃在2024年春季之前建立新結構，以提高遊戲質量。
Despite Final Fantasy 16's launch on PlayStation 5 selling three million copies in its first week, Square Enix's overall sales remained flat, with digital entertainment sales declining by 4.7% in December 2023.

Final Fantasy 16 met initial sales targets but faced a slowdown afterward. Square Enix confirmed two paid DLC expansions and a PC port for the game.
最終幻想16實現了最初的銷售目標，但隨後面臨放緩。史克威爾艾尼克斯確認了兩次付費的DLC擴展包和該遊戲的PC端口。
However, the company attributed declining digital entertainment sales and profits to various factors such as Final Fantasy 14 MMO and mobile game sales decreases, rising development costs, and increased advertising spending.
但是，該公司將數字娛樂銷售額和利潤的下降歸因於各種因素，例如《最終幻想14》多人在線遊戲和手機遊戲銷量下降、開發成本上升以及廣告支出增加。
Amidst these challenges, Final Fantasy producer Naoki Yoshida suggested the possibility of a younger generation leading the franchise, potentially with Final Fantasy 17. With the upcoming launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix aims to alleviate pressure and boost sales.
在這些挑戰中，《最終幻想》製片人吉田直樹表示，年輕一代有可能領導該系列，可能是《最終幻想17》。隨着《最終幻想7重生》即將推出，史克威爾艾尼克斯的目標是緩解壓力並促進銷售。
