Remember when Square Enix's honcho Yoichi Wada said Final Fantasy XIII was to be the last game of its kind? Well, Square Enix developers Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama have no idea what he was talking about

Japanese developers might be ruined right now, but if you're Square Enix, you're doing just fine

Particularly when you've just launched games with Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest in the title. Which Square Enix has just done.
