After Final Fantasy XIII's lengthy (not to mention expensive) development cycle, it makes sense that Square Enix would look into less expensive alternatives for their flagship franchise. Those alternatives don't extend as far as moving it to handhelds though.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

Guessing final fantasy agito 13 will be the last then.
They'll probably keep Dragon Quest on the DS like IX. That game will sell a TON in Japan. So FF for consoles and DQ for handhelds.
As long as their other games contain towns and at least have some challenge in them (I heard in ff13 you can get out of a battle in middle of it, re-strategise and play the battle again?) then i am ok.
I am now relying on Versus and Agito to change my mind about Enix, because to be honest, they haven't made a final fantasy since 10. the others have just been bad RPG's with Final Fantasy slapped on 'em to make them sell.
What they need to do is stick to ps3 only. They're wasting their time on developing for the 360. Don't everybody see how 360 messes games up with it's outdated hardware. I hope FFvs13 stays exclusive.
Why do you want it to stay exclusive?
