I'm sorry but could you clarify in a nutshell what this all means. are you saying that Square are the fools or that we are the fools for buying their games or are you saying that their fools because they've decided to opt for multiplatform development with their core Final Fantasy titles.
if your saying what i think your saying, then i think your being a bit harsh on Yochi Wada. hes a business man, of course they''ll develop games primarily for their core market on the Sony home console, but they have explained that because the market for the core gamer is skewed between Xbox and PS3 it would make more financial sense to release on both consoles.
I dont like M$ personally, but the FF series is struggling, the JP sales have been the lowest since FF6 (i think). and the reviews have been less than stellar. Yochi Wada is doing what he feels is best for the future of the company and the employees. in my opinion its people like Tetsuya Nomura who are the problem. i mean look at Advent Children, yes it was cool, but the plot was a load of horse manure. and FF13 was badly reviewed because Kitase and Toriyama had to cut content, not because of M$ or Wada. and you just need to look at Metal Gear series to see that Kojima has no idea where the series was going after the 3 (Metal Gear Solid) installment. i think at times artists are the problem.
lastly i think its better that they do whatever they can to bring in a newer, younger auidence, the old fans like me keep buying their games because of nostalga, if multiplatform development is the way to do that, then i agree with it.
