If S-E wants to take this path then they are more than welcome to. Why they feel the FF brand has to be held synonymous with that of the Sony brand is somewhat of a mystery but if they're so intent on using 1080dpi to supplement the utter lack of creativity or innovation in their most recent instalments then I'll be more than pleased to see them ride the sinking PS3 ship down the path of mediocrity and hopefully learn a lesson along the way.
I know these words will strike a nerve with many but I am sick and tired of seeing S-E ruin the FF main series with their abhorent lack of vision, policy of special editions never released in the U.S., remakes galore and need for copious amounts of supplementary spin-off games while Sony meanwhile still tries to sell us a $500-$600 dead mackeral. If this is fate and two birds must be killed with one stone then so be it, I won't shed a tear.
Square was never known for their good decisions, in fact it was the lack of good decisions that left them virtually bankrupt and forced them to merge (essentially bought out) by Enix. Even then there is no mistaking the awkward downhill trend they've taken in game and marketing practices ever since the horror that was the Spirits Within before hand. If they're not busy making copy and paste main series games that do little more than rehash FFX then they're busy hocking remake after remake after remake or raping the beloved FF7 franchise all the while never giving the fans what they really want, a remake or port. They've even gone so far as to make critical elements of the FF7 story exclusive to the impractical Cell-phone format essentially dooming any fan or completist capable of shame.
The Crystal Chronicles games hold some promise but the original is nothing to instill much confidence in a market hungry for a fresh start. And while their handheld spin-offs and remakes seem to remain fairly fresh they still carry with them the odious funk of the home consoles' sins.
If Square really loves Sony so much then they can have them, I'm sure Sony will reciprocate the love with a session of rough unprotected anal sex and black eye or cigarette burn to remember the incident by.
