Square Enix Open to Western Developed Final Fantasy Games

In a recent interview with Edge, Square Enix has signaled that they may be open to a western-developed Final Fantasy title, a shift from a company which has as of yet kept almost all of their games development centered in Japan.
When the president of Square Enix, Yoichi Wada, was asked about other Japanese publishers giving out their franchises, such as Silent Hill, he said: "That is one of the possible paths, but it's not something that we would shift completely over to. There is always a possibility that Final Fantasy could be produced with the input of our Western developers, overseen by our Japanese developers".
