If you agree to Square-Enix's online terms of service, you are letting Square-Enix watch how you play. They are watching every little thing you do...every single decision you make. Why are they doing this? Square-Enix says they do this to make a better game.
“Until you actually have data, you only have assumptions. You have a particular demographic that engages in forums and they can be very vocal. Often, at face value that can be interpreted as being a clear indication of a particular problem or a particular desire.
When you actually have the whole picture, you get a much better understanding as to what’s really going on and often, it’s quite a small group of people who are taking a very big sense of need or demand.” - Square Enix London Studios producer Chris Dillon
A little creepy, don't you think? I like the idea, but I think Square-Enix should present this to the player up-front instead of tucked away in the terms of service. Give players the option to send out their data instead of getting the data through our lack of reading terms of service details.
Then again, I guess we're at fault just as much. We should be reading those ToS features instead of just agreeing blindly to them.

I'd let them watch me take a sh*t if that meant getting a Star Ocean 5 or Seiken Densetsu 5.
Bring over Slime Rocket and I'll agree.
This is a rather neat idea. I'm going to walk in circles around a house for 50 hours and see if I ruin Square Enix games for everyone.
Most companies do this actually.
I have no problem with this. I want them to watch me play these games and make future games accordingly. Then again, I'm a MMO player who's used to the dev teams watching and tracking without telling anybody.
People like you are what caused FFXIII.
And the vocal minority on forums are the ones that pay attention to the game before buying...
Tri Ace has said Star Ocean is done (Which most people take as an admission they destroyed the franchise with Till the End of Time...).
SD5? You need a real SD4 first. Sword of Mana indicates Square and Brownie Brown are willing to work together on the franchise at least.
I'd take a Guest Mariko Hashimoto sequelMy favorite thing about Square Enix is I haven't played many new-ish games made by them.
