Hahaha! Beautiful post. Like I couldn't have said it all better myself! That actually made me lol.

On the issue, yes... SE has to be one of the most stupid companies on the planet. So much so that one has to attribute every good thing they do to being a fluke. Just a few more points to tell you how stupid they really are since you don't follow them and I do.

  • They stalled development of FFv13 so they could make two more sequels to the most hated FF iteration ever.
  • The released the same FF game twice FF14 cause their first time round left them with a game that had too many issues.
  • They stalled development of a mainline sequel to one of their most losved franchises, Kingdom Hearts and made over 5-6 iterations of the game on a platform that had nothing to do with the platform that made the franchise a thing to begin with n addition to a couple of remasters. then as you said,
  • announced KH3 at the same time when announcing FF15 which is to be developed by the same team that is currently making FF15. So if FF15 comes out in 2016, which seems to be the case unless they surprise us all at TGS this year which could make it have a 2015 release date instead then that means that the earliest KH3 gets released is in 2017/2018!!!!!!
  • They let great extremly loved and well designed franchises die  (warning, get ready to be shocked!).
    • Parasite Eve
    • Brave fencer Musashi
    • Vagrant story
    • Final Fantasy Tactics
    • Front Mission
    • Dragon Quest
    • Valkyrie Profile
    • Star Ocean
    • Chrono Trigger
  • Any one of the above named franchises could have been rebooted and would have generated a lot of fanfare, especially Vagrant story(could have been better than the souls franchise), Parasite Eve, Dragon quest and star ocean(could have been their own answer to mass effect). But they somehow just pissed those all away.
  • Now from their recent aquisitions they have Hitman, tomb raider and duex ex... and somehow they have not announced or shown a new deux ex or hitman.
  • They went into bed with MS with the 360 in japan at the start of last gen, it failed. But at least one could understand why, the PS3 was a year late to market. But now they are doing it again, while completely ignoring the odds MS are facing right now.
so yeah, with SE... expect the stupid. The only good thing is that when they do get their ducks in a row, they make some really great stuff. Its the obligatory 10 other pieces of shit or bad decisions in between that is the problem.
