"Square Enix new strategy: How to stay irrelevant"

fixed it according to my opinion.

There's a difference between being relevant and making money.  This will keep them afloat, but how will that make them what they once were?  What if they shed Eidos off?  I'm sure I speak for many when I say I don't want those crappy Final Fantasy games they've been making for the iOS platform.

 

Square will never *ever* be what they were, in my opinion. FF8 started it all, 9 was the last hope, everything after was not Square anymore to me (at least concerning FF). I liked the remakes for the DS but every new FF game just disappointed me. Let them port every nes-snes-game to ios/android, I don't care. And also take a look at this ridiculous thing: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=554202&highlight=fantasy

Final Fantasy 8 didn't start it, Final Fantasy 12 did cause that's when they stopped listenning to fans and started listenning to themselves.  Point is, them focusing on iOS/Android development isn't going to help them stay relevant.  That's just doing, as Badgenome pointed out, what they've been doing already.  They spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a studio in the U.S. just for mobile development.  What happened?  They got shut down.   "We all want Final Fantasy games on iOS" said no one ever.
