Well, I think it would be a good move for Sony to get a solid RPG developer, putting the sketchiness of this rumor aside for a moment.
It would be one of the best ways for Sony to differentiate the PS3 from the increasingly similar (but much lower priced) 360 -- by getting a highly polished exclusive RPG, along with all the little Japanese developers who have been announcing stuff for the PS3 lately (Atelier Rorona, The Last Rebellion, Trinity: something about Zil'ol, that other mashup RPG with Trinity in the title by a totally different company...) they could finally get their reputation back of the being the console for people who prefer Japanese-style games. I think it's more than a little shameful that Sony have been out-japan-ed by Microsoft for most of this generation so far. I hope they try to do something about it.
