To my understanding, his stance has basically been that only the stuff that works keeps going.
Like they talked extensively about their sequel potential for Setsuna, but that studio is now trying a new series after that went poorly.
Similarly, the producer for Bravely Default said they would immediately propose Bravely Third if Bravely Second went well, and then after launch, implied they were looking at making a new series.
Valkyrie Profile 3 was also going to be propose if Star Ocean 5 notably succeeded, and uh, I think we can write that one off.
They're basically continuing on with the teams, but the brands (on console) seem to be getting the axe in favor of chasing new opportunities that are potentially more relevant to the current marketplace.
