Square Enix will step up ports and sequels.

[LordTheNightKnight]

Square Enix changes its business model.

  Basically, the high sales of the ports/remakes of the first six FF games on the GBA/DS showed S-E how profitable ports and sequels are. I know it will piss off some purists, but this is a business, and if you want the great games, you need the cash to fund them.

 So will this mean the Playstation era FF games will finally get ported or remade? Highly likely, even if not stated. S-E has already stated plans to put VII, VII, and IX on PSN. Yet it's unlikely they will stop there. The DS may also get ports, if all that data can be squeezed into the carts (and with what's been done before, that doesn't seem impossible).

 Of course there are further ports to be made. Seiken Denstsu 1 already saw an enhanced remake with Sword of Mana, so 2 (Secret or Mana in the US) and 3 could get ports and remakes on the systems (such as Virtual Console), not to mention the Dragon Quest series, especially since V, VI, and the enhanced remake of IV never got here.

 As for sequels, a second true Chrono game would be great, so would nother Vagrant Story game. And if Namco doesn't want anymore Xenosaga games, S-E could call the director back for a Xenogears sequel.
