Sounds like good news to me. Don't rebuild the wheel, and instead build on top of other mature technologies such as Cry3, Unity4 and Unreal4. I'm looking forward to an SE that is capable of actually releasing games in a timely manner.
FFXIV has proven they are capable of quick (re)development, its a shame they spent so much effort on Luminous I hope that doesn't go to waste cause it was looking pretty decent.
If this means we will get more original SNES style SE games on Android and iOS I am actually fine with that. I liked Final Fantasy Dimensions far more than any other console SE game since FF12. Nothing wrong with focusing on smaller shorter 2D RPGs for a few years, as long as they are truly original games and not more remakes.
Wasn't Dimensions episodic when it first came out though and really expensive ?, plus there is two sides to this coin, All the Bravest for example.
