Sup fools,
Today I was eating at Wendy's™ with some friends while we hopped onto our iPhone 4s as we watched two kids dressed like Sora and Riku eat some delicious burgers. It got me and my friend's thinking, Kingdom Hearts is now Square's most profitable franchise and the Kingdom Hearts team is the only team that is scoring well above the averages in both scores and sales. The team working on Kingdom Hearts and Versus XIII is literally keeping Square alive for the past decade.
So with that said, they could easily leave Square Enix after they finish Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts III, and then join up ATLUS or Level-5. I mean, you would retarded if you didn't hire them. They have yet to make a bad game...and they have yet to make a game that doesn't sell in the multiple of millions. I mean, seriously....Kingdom Hearts is now Square's most important franchise without question.
Sure some might say you got Batman and Edios, but they don't count. It's like the adopted kid, at the end of the day it just doesn't count (no offense to anyone who is adopted or has a sibling who is adopted).
So, let's pretend the KH team left (along with Nomura and Yoko) after KH2, where would Square be today?
Kingdom Hearts
The Kingdom Hearts franchise is a series of games conceived by fusing together popular elements of Final Fantasy story telling and classic Disney characters.
What Would Square Enix Be Without the Kingdom Hearts Team Today?
I think "a lot" might be a little strong - and sittin around Wendy's daydreaming about Nomura and Kingdom Hearts ain't exactly heavy lifting :PYou do a lot of thinking at restaurants.

Stop watching little kids eat food with your friends.
SE needs to revive the Nier developer. I want more Nier.
That or cars.You sure love Kingdoms hearts and Nomura. It's like all I ever see you post about.

@Afroman269: If you count the proper FF games and compare it to the KH games, KH has made more money over the past decade.What do you mean by proper FF game? I consider anything with final fantasy in the name a final fantasy game?

People might get the wrong idea.Sup fools, Today I was eating at Wendy's™ with some friends while we hopped onto our iPhone 4s as we watched two kids dressed like Sora and Riku eat some delicious burgers...Gaddamnit Kaos!

I think that in one-form or the other, no matter how backwards Square is right now, they would have gravitated toward a more action oriented design over-time.
Who knows what Square would be without Nomura, and I say that statement with equal amounts of negative and positive connotations. It is a curious thing to ponder, and my guess is that it would be for better or worse a far different company than it is today. The real question is who would have filled his place, and given the large amount of awkward designers and awkward projects coming out of Square right now, it's kinda scary to think about.
I'm not a fan of Nomura, but at least the stuff his team has released the last decade at Square has been pretty stable.

someone at square did say they were thinking about it though, so THERES STILL HOPE
(there's no hope, just like in Nier)
