I'll agree with you on the rise of Square Enix once they promise to actually go through with localizing more games after they saw the success of Bravely Default. As of now they're still disconnected with Westerners. I'm still waiting.

Well, besides Wada being a complete idiot and screwing up everything that made Square amazing, yeah Sony and SE have one of the best relationships propelling each other into the stratosphere. SE especially, they benefit so much from letting Sony give them exposure.

That being said, Yosuke Matsuda (Mitsuda?) is a really boring speaker. His head is in the right place though unlike Wada, whose head is so far up his ass *angry rambling*.

But why did they make Tomb Raider a timed exclusive? Seems like a really dumb thing to do IMO.

I think a string of poorly reviewed releases convinced them 'damn, maybe we should actually create what the fans have been asking for'

It just so happened that Sony is a long time ally and the PS4 is easy to develop for

Yosuke Matsuda is doing well.

It was a good idea because they were going to avoid Uncharted 4, but once it was delayed they got a problem.

Final fantasy vii made a good console explode in sales. So now is the time for the duo to set the world ablaze.

To pay for PS4 exclusive development.  its costly.  

Does Square not like it on top?

Because ps4 dominance is so good for them that even when they ran from ps4 they profit from it using ms deep pockets.

spot on

alot of japanese devs and legendary franchises and rpg will benefit from PS4 sales

dragon quest,monster hunter,final fantasy,resident evil,yakuza,gran turismo,mgs

and many old ps1 and ps2 franchises will make a comeback on ps4
