i dont give them 3 years until they dead like THQ, i just hope they ship ff 15, then they can go down and sold ff IP to sony

Sony/NC Soft are likely candidates for the FF franchise rights, they would do it justice and still have some fingers extended into several markets.

Do you see SquareEnix really vanishing into obscurity (or close to it) by the time this new generation ends?

Not really, those are just the viable choices should it come to pass. I think SE has a future, if they manage to gain a strong holding in a market again. They have some really good trademarks and talent with Eidos and Enix, not to mention in-house Square staff, I do think that this idea they have about MMO and mobile only will bite them hard in the ass.

There are some few companies who make ass-loads of cash in the mobile market but the vast majority make next to nothing and MMO's are turning fickle and short-lived, even the Freemium model has shown big cracks in the armor.
