That decision, too, would be primarily motivated by money.
Of course it was for money. Why would any company bother making games if it wasn't for money. All I said was that I hope it isn't a "cash-in", as in a sewed together project of unused material to suck all the available $$ out of JRPG market. I never said they were doing this for some crazed loyalty to their customers. There is no company in the world (whether it be gaming or not) that isn't in for the money.

And for your other point of them making the XIII look better, that's obvious too. With Versus XIII on the horizon, they can't leave a sour taste in the mass market with XIII, they need to refortify the brands image to maximize profit for Versus (when it drops). I think you made assumptions about what I said or misinterpreted it. Black Orb had such a negative attitude to the series, so I provided my thoughts as to why the next 2 games would surely be better (of course, I could be wrong). Hope that clears any confusion!
