rereleasing games and making sequels to older games.
Huge news today in Japan as Square Enix announced it reformed business model, and a significant rise in the likelihood of a Final Fantasy VII remake.
Late Wednesday night, on their Japanese web site, Square Enix announced that it will be working under a new business model, focused more on re-releasing existing titles and creating sequels to older games.
This change is no doubt due to the overwhelming success of its latest projects, which have all be remakes of Final Fantasy games for the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance platforms. These remakes have done surprisingly well and have prompted Square Enix to look into the remade games further and for other systems as well. As a result, the company has decided that remakes and sequels will do well enough to keep the company in the green for quite some time.

Now they won't be limiting the milkage to Final Fantasy and Mana. I expect a new Chrono that consists of 5 games all exclusive on 5 respective systems, all of which are connected in terms of plot.
It will be called Chrono Milkassburgeritis Fabrova Thanatos.
Square Enix says they're going to be making sequels to more older titles and people are wondering if they're going to do another Final Fantasy shell out.
I definitely look forward to sequels to established Square ip's, especially with the original development teams long gone. I am really up for that. I am sure the game will be of the utmost quality.
