What's more, Tecmo's games will help strengthen Square Enix's current portfolio, which is heavily dependent on RPGs.

This isn't the first time Square Enix has moved in on a beleaguered company. In August 2005, Square Enix acquired Taito and wholly owned the company as a subsidiary by September 2005.

So can I expect the next Dead or Alive Xtreme to feature Final Fantasy girls?

I like your line of thinking. 'Sides, if we got Itadaki Street Special for Fanboys, why not do the same?

Which reminds me...

Doesn't seem too far-fetched, does it?

Taito = Tecmo? I didn't know that...

Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than a new Lufia game, but yeah.

The Kotaku link says S-E acquired Taito a few years ago.

Seriously, that guy needs to be hired by somewhere awesome. Because those models are darn near in-game quality, and he deserves a place that will make that real.

This means we might see a decent FF fighter someday. (Not that Dissidia wont be decent, but its not a traditional, 1 on 1, small arena fighter.
