Square Enix stock value jumps by 2.9 percent

A strong E3 showing has seen the publisher's market value hit its highest point since 2008.

Industry trade paper MCV has reported a jump in Square Enix's stock prices following E3, drawing a bit of a long bow by attributing that increase entirely to the announcement of the Final Fantasy 7 remake. There's no doubt that hype is running high, but let's not sell the publisher's other accomplishments short - it was a great show for Square Enix overall.
