If this does in fact happen and Kitase and Nomura leave and go create Cloudstrider or Fogrunner, then Sony should do their best to acquire them.

Although if what is being said is true and Nomura/Kitase "love" Sony, then they wouldn't even need to do that.

They could assimilate in Level-5, who are in great relations with Sony. When Sony has the financial freedom, using L5, they could create their own (sony's) RPG studio. With how good the L5 crew is, I don't see a need in forming a new studio :P

 

true,

but I wanted an excuse to use my "witty" company names based around "Misterwalker"
