I'd say the Square-Enix merger. It just popped out of nowhere. Who would've thought that the 2 biggest rpg developers would combine?
We basically already had a good idea that Rare would've went 3rd party or MS exclusive. There were so many rumours of it.
And, the Square-Nintendo thing was okay, I kinda knew it would evetually happen though.

Maybe it's better for people who only own Nintendo consoles (wow, first SquareSoft game since...CT in 1995??!), but for regular RPGers like myself, the merger is WAY better. It will have two of the
BEST developers working on the same games. I doubt FF:CC will be as good as FFXII, Chrono Break, or DQ8, or even Star Ocean 3. In fact, FF:CC is developed by Game Designers (a small production team funded by Square) and not Square themselves.
