I think I'm starting to privately hate the Enix half of Square-Enix. Although I can't necessarily prove that they are the problem, I can say that before Square joined forces with them, I liked them a lot better. The more sequels and spin-offs they make of Final Fantasy, the more I have no idea who they are anymore. It really is rather love affair-esque, right down my inability to let them go.
Anyway, Square have decided it would be a good idea focus more energy on mobile gaming, so the formation of the Square Enix Mobile Studio was announced in Japan today. The new studio will beheaded up by Yoichi Haraguchi, Square's current head of mobile. They estimate they will have twenty employees in their first year of operation.
Maybe I shouldn't blame them, but all I know is, If I have to see the rerelease of Final Fantasy VII on a cell phone, I may very well kill myself. Mark my words.

(Since some people cannot detect sarcasm,i am being sarcastic)
RPGs are better off staying on consoles, or left to the DS and PSP if a portable fix is required.
Well.. I don't think mobile gaming should die altogether... I enjoy playing the original Sonic the Hedghog in its entirety during my bathroom brakes at work... haha... but I would otherwise agree as I stated earlier, the mobile market is no place for RPGs.
Wasn't there supposed to be like 7 or more chapters in the Ogre Battle Saga?? Where are they Enix, where!? Bah
Don't do that. The Chocobos would lose their queen!
