Less people, less time, and less investment in making them. Their timeforgoten game design doesn't look or feel as out of date on a handheld. And nearly everyone in JP owns a handheld. So the games would easily reach their intended demoprahpics. It just makes sense. I will stick to Fallout, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, DiabloIII, Mass Effect, and WoW.

And there's nothing you can do about it! I like turn based… :(

You take 20HP damage from "Employee timesheets"! You take 30HP damage from "Still using turn based battles"! You take 45HP damage from "Evidence of surfing for porn during work hours". It's super effective! Your team was wiped out! It's good to see Square's executives keep good lines of communication open with their producers rather than keeping in touch through the headlines.
