As pointed out by others on the site, they invested a lot in the Crystal Engine and the assets to develop FFXIII, so why not get as much out of that investment as they can? As long as each individual game is profitable and brings further profitability to the whole sub-franchise, it's a sound investment
The only risk they really run here is long-term damage to the FF brand that will hurt future mainline installments.
Where SE lost the plot was in not ditching FFXIV immediately.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
