Wait

Why do they even care? I remember a similar stink over Vesperia's late port; why is this even a thing?

the japanese are a very exclusive peoples.

oh and not only that, but those fans have been supporting SE since before square and enix merged. They supported them on ps1, ps2, and ps3. It's tradition.

The same fans who were also supporting on Sony's NES and Sony's SNES?

Oh... wait! Apparently Square doesn't have tradition, and you'd think longtime fans realize this. It's business.

I understand it's from a different cultural viewpoint, but from my view, why would you care if another console is getting your game? Let more people enjoy it, that's a good thing! The only thing I can see a gripe about is if the "other" version is getting better content than your version.

As a "longtime fan" from 1988 to 2002, I always felt that there was a different "vibe" going from "Squaresoft" to SquareEnix."  It was just there.  Also, I didn't see Squaresoft "jump ship" from NES to Genesis since the Genesis was more powerful than the NES while it was released before the SNES.  I also didn't see Squaresoft "jump ship" to the Saturn or the Dreamcast either.  In fact, it was reported that Squaresoft was doing some testing for Nintendo's "next" console (the N64) until they found that it was limited when compared to the PlayStation and what they wanted to do.  My personal take is that if Squaresoft felt that the N64 met their needs or if the N64 were designed differently, they would have stuck with Nintendo.  Just my take, but it's fairly reasonable.
