Direction of Squaresoft

Well we all have seen the interesting journeys Square has taken outside of the rpg world. Some being very succesful while others are shamed upon by the critics. What I am talking about is titles like FF X-2 an action game, and another one like FF11 which brings MMORPG to its ranks also, Not too forget there upcoming merger also. With all that mentioned I am curious to what you think about this, Why you think there doing it? and Possible Futures you see for the company (Console Developer, Dead after the changes?)...
