Sony have just bought a 19% share of Square Co, who are in deep financial troubles are loosing million of dollars on the Final Fantasy film. While an exclusivity deal isn't guaranteed, Sony will have a huge amount of control in the firm.

GBA titles, in theory, could go ahead as the GBA isn't a direct competitor to Sony. However, as Nintendo pretty much insist GBA developers must game GC games too, there could be a problem. And we know Yamuchi won't bend over backwards to help Square.

Now Sony have their foot in the door there could be further stock purchases. At the end of the day though - does anyone care? The last two Fianl Fantasy games were damp squibs anyway...

Who gives a crap? Final Fantasy games suck anyway.

*tiltawhirl in extreme biased mode*

But it's true they do suck.

Sony has put the 120 million dollars on the table.
Deals haven't been finalised, the offer is there, it's the question of Square's acceptance.
Last two FF games damp squibs?
Don't be silly!
