"There has been a change: we used to be called Creative Business Unit 3," said Yoshida (via a translation on ResetEra). "That has become Creative Studio 3. But other than that nothing has changed. I haven't had to fire people and the current team hasn't been altered. We're even hiring new folks.
"The company has high expectations for our division. Its one of the pillars of Square Enix. There is no chance they'll make cuts or invest less in us. We'll keep working just as hard on (Final Fantasy 14), so players don't have to worry.
"We're also working on some unannounced games. Seeing how our team is functioning, we can't work on many games at the same time, but we keep trying. There will be some announcements soon regarding two new games we're working on."
Square Enix Creative Studio 3 developed Final Fantasy XVI, as well as focusing on MMORPGs like Final Fantasy XIV.
