The best way to exploit this is to make an FFXII sequel on the PS2..
Models, worlds, textures and all can be easily reused without additional cost, and all they need is design new content. Even their hard-worked on battle system can be kept perfectly in place. Easy money.
In contrast, working on a DS title would mean creating up from scratch.
