Hmm.
1. LR: FF XIII
Make DLC where one of Lightning's outfits is literally nothing. You could probably charge $25-30 and it would still sell like crazy, and Square Enix is, indeed, bleeding cash. M or Ao rating, for sure.
2. FF XV
Congratulations, as soon as LR is out the door, this and KH3 have my undivided attention. Really, all I'd want to see is a good script that the voice actors felt confident in and enjoyed voicing. No matter what happens, XV is bound to piss some people off, but if it impresses just as many you've successfully reinvented Final Fantasy.
3. Tomb Raider
Focus on survival horror with a strong action-adventure element. You want to dual wield pistols? GOOD LUCK FINDING AMMO. Try to push for the longbow to be Lara Croft's signature weapon after the reboot.
4. Parasite Eve
My favorite S-E franchise, and it needs a lot of work. If you have no plans to reboot/ rename it, then sell it for quick cash. Monolith Soft is basically what's left of the original's dev team, so Nintendo might want it so they'll have something to do after X. Atlus might want it. Capcom might want it. A western dev might want it. Chances are most won't, but the phone call won't hurt. If you put it up for auction I'm sure more interest will appear, both commercial and fan.
Regardless, because it's got some major creative work to do, you're not looking at selling it for much. But with S-E hemorrhaging money, there's not much you can do.
5. License the Crystal Tools engine on both the PS360 and the Wii U.
SIGNIFICANTLY undercut Unreal 3. Really, you wouldn't be making any money with it after LR, and while I don't think XV can fit on the Wii U, you can probably get Crystal Tools to work on the Wii U with a little tweaking.
A third party engine for the Wii U--especially one as pretty as Crystal Tools--would drastically alter the gen 8 console wars. Because Epic has explicitly said Unreal 4 won't work on the Wii U and Crystal Tools looks so much better than Unreal 3, you will basically have a monopoly. Whatever 3rd party development happens on the Wii U for years to come, you'll get a piece of.
