It should be no surprise that Square Enix has been having it bad as of late. With their disappointment of outside developers with their products to the fact that Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t up to par with gamers as previous to just – simply stated – the epic load of fail that is known as Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix is just losing their hold on. Some other things that may apply to such are the fact that JRPGs, and Japanese games in general, don’t have much of an appeal outside of Japan like they used to.
Still, Square Enix is trying their best to bounce back from the losses they are getting by what seems to be restructuring of their upcoming games as well as making calls towards other systems more so than anything else.
Final Fantasy XIV fans can now properly benchmark their PCs and check out some of what's coming to their game this summer.

Get rid of Wada is step one. Step two, stop pissing off your original fanbase with these broken action games with rpg elements. Leave that to western devs. Step three, bring back the original gameplay to FF. Step 4 only applies if they don't follow steps one through three. Shoot yourself in the head squeenix..
Square Enix should have been more ready for this gen then they were, that's for sure.
Also, I don't get it - their handheld games are almost always of a premium quality, why is it that their console game experience is unable to match that quality?
Hope so. Just look what it did to Sony.
Get rid of Wada would be a great start.
Next listen to what your consumers want.
For starters the following things need to be released.
Line Up:
-FFVII Remake [PS3 Only]
(Fans want it. Give it to them.)
-FFXIII Versus
(Let Nomura finish the damn game and keep it PS3 only.)
-FFXIII-2 (PS3/Xbox 360)
(Improve the exploration/side quests. Expand the story of Lightning some more.)
-Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS3 Only)
(I'm dying here for a next gen Kingdom Hearts game.)
-Final Fantasy: Collection [PS3]
(FFX, FFX-2, FFXII, etc. = Have fans vote on what games they want remade.)
-Chrono Trigger (PS3/Xbox 360)
-Kingdom Hearts: Collection [PS3]
(Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Kingdom Hearts 2: Chains of Memories.)
-The Last Story
(Port it w/ HD graphics over to PS3/Xbox 360. PS3 will use PS Move and Xbox 360 will use Kinect.)
Seriously now if Square Enix can release all of these games I mentioned and get rid of Wada they'll be swimming in money and the fans will be happy.
(Everybody wins at this point.)
Just copy what they do in handheld games because thats where square enix shines
