Ya but I remember SE saying something that there most concerned about Japan.

If that's true, SE just grabbed a big ol' gun, loaded it, pointed it at their own foot, and pulled the trigger.

Huh? 

Square is shooting themselves in the foot if they're focusing on the Japanese market.

Square has always focused on Japan and it has worked very well for them even when they didn't even release their games in america and europe.  The market has changed and now America and europe will buy these games, but Square has never needed to change the way they made games.  Final Fantasy and other square RPGs sell well in the west without actually making the game to specifically appeal to the west.  Dragon Quest sells so well in Japan that it doesn't matter much that it doesn't sell well in the west.  Japan has always been Square's rock, and it will continue to be.
