i certainly hope that last remnant was just an experiment for square into seeing whether it could be profitable to try to engage the western market with mediocre effort backed by its brand, because from what I have seen and heard about this and star ocean, i dont want to play either of them and could care less if they came to ps3.
I hope it becomes obvious to them that doing so many projects has not made them substantially more money. Their DS projects haven't exactly sold well even though they have the final fantasy and dragon quest brand names. Part of that is probably piracy and the other is market saturation. Everyone rpg make is like thinking the same thing with the ds.
I just hope FF 13 turns out better and it should because obviously they have their best people working on them and not second rate devs for the unreal 3 engine games. I guess they didnt want ot reveal their own engine just yet for a new IP.
As for developing for 360, that is just a poor decision which may or may not have been influenced by microsoft, but the fan base is just not there and jrpgs i think will never penetrate the western market the way they have in Japan.
They should just go back to focusing on releasing on big, quality titles because that is what they are known for.
As for a side note, I really hope Atlus publishes from SMT games for ps3, those have been leaps and bounds better than ANYTHING SE has released since probably final fantasy 10, which was a LONG time ago.
