Didnt most final fantasy fans get over this whole "x-2 is too girly" thing back in 2003 when it came out? it was supposed to be light hearted. and I cant bring myself to respect any "fanboy" that doesnt mention 6 in their diatribe.
that being said, square has never really focused solely on the final fantasy series as he seems to think. square has always had its finger on countless buttons. the super mario rpg, the chrono series, einhander, the tobals, countless chocobo dungeon games, sub par racing games, bushido blade1 (i refuse to recognize 2) threads of fate, musashi, ergheiz, sub par sports games. squaresoft is not a one trick pony and the final fantasy series is not where all of their attention goes. true many of their games arent mainstream good, but most are VERY GOOD for devations from the norm. einhander is a great shooter. threads of fate has one of the best story lilnes Ive ever seen in a game. two playable characters with intertwining stories? I dare you to play Rue's story arc without feeling moved at the end. it gets pretty intense.
no squaresoft will not die because its branching out. squaresoft has always spread itself thin. but as it gets larger it will have more room to spread and only then will the spreading become noticable.

Agreed, it seems that all too often the old games are too easily forgotten. Ive always said that corporate sponsored emulation would be well accepted.
