In the "medium to long term", Square Enix "will accelerate our efforts to strengthen our internal development capabilities by further expanding our internal talent pool, while also more quickly concentrating our resources on the development of titles that are competitive globally." In other words, it wants to commit to its own projects while expanding its portfolio.

Indeed, the company also wants to refocus its publishing efforts, as Matsuda notes the importance of "end-to-end global publishing". Previously, the company's Japanese and Western publishing arms operated somewhat independently. Matsuda goes on to clarify that the goal is to become "One Square Enix".
