No, it's not a lie or a joke: http://kotaku.com/5084176/supreme-commander-2-brought-to-you-by-square-enix

I don't really know what to think of this. It's unprecedented... Well, not really since Sega owns the Total War series and that series is awesome beyond words. So hey, it might be a good thing.

[Boksi]

So the robots'll wield katanas(katanae?) now?

[Aqizzar]

I would so play a FF-RTS if they didn't have to use that shitty Ivalice setting.

[Asehujiko]

This time the console version is going to be co developed instead of added afterwards. This does not bode well for the quality of the game. So what will happen to Demigod now that square replaces stardock as publisher?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Square will only be publishing SC2. Demigod is still distributed by Stardock, if I'm not mistaken.

And I'm not excited at the prospect of having a Supreme Commander 2 at all now. Sure, once I was, but now it seems the time of good RTS games has passed, everyone is aiming for cybersports. Chris Taylor may be the one who created Total Annihilation, but if what I've heard in interviews is right, he no longer thinks games like TA are going to sell. I don't want another game that has to be played like a space shuttle landing sim, I want an RTS where I can build a base at my leisure and see the enemy splash against its walls like the tide.

The plural of katana is katana.

[Idiom]

I think Square Enix has a chance to get it right.

I think it's generally accepted that we can make plural forms of Japanese words when we are speaking English, for clarity's sake.

I know nothing about this game, but I am fundamentally opposed to SE. Maybe if they rehired Matsuno or sold him the Ogre Battle franchise, I'd be cool with them.

[umiman]

I'd like to see a Supcom that doesn't have Chris Taylor's involvement. He's acting like Peter Moleneux [sic] nowadays. You know, the jaded, overly egoistical game developer.

[Okenido]

I'm still going to stick with Spring.

Square can't make decent sequels to their own games, even after having 12+ chances.

Eh? FFII is decent, at least. Or FF X, well that's their decent games.
Well, some said FFIX pretty good too. But I have never play that.

[AltF8]

Oh c'mon guys, it'll be EPIC:

VI and IX are at the very least good. I also enjoyed XII, much as I had hoped I wouldn't.

[Aqizzar]

I'm going to say IV was also good - it seems rote now, but that's because it refined the mold.  V did a good job of building on the model.  And I'll say again the IV was more genuinely operatic than any FF title since.
