Square-Enix to allow Eidos to make a Final Fantasy Game (VIA OXM)

Is this the sort of situation that might benefit from a sprinkling of outsider perspective, to clear the air? Could Square Enix even hand the franchise off to a Western developer, following in Capcom’s footsteps? Or would that be a recipe for Lost Planet 3-style disaster? Aoife spoke to Lightning Returns director Motomu Toriyama and gameplay director Yuji Abe for more.

The answer, in brief, is that the publisher’s open to the idea but has nothing to announce for the moment. “Obviously, Square Enix bought out Eidos a number of years ago, and now we have direct access to American development teams,” observed Abe. “That’s certainly been discussed within the company, the possibility of say, Eidos or maybe someone else to look after or maybe take on the Final Fantasy series.

Yuji Abe stated that if they had the right team and the right game to work with, the they would certainly consider doing it, while Motomu Toriyama said that this could result in something very interesting.
