Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest
Kingdom Hearts
Each franchise needs to just end (at least for a good span of years). Sure these franchises pull in money, hence the over kill, and it's true large franchises fund newer IP, or IP that doesn't fair as well. However, lately from SE the majority of content is focused on the these three franchises with very little else being mentioned or funded with the same degree of resources.
Even as a fan I feel they're just using these franchises as crutches. It's a damn shame that franchises like Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Seiken Densetsu, Einhander, Tobal, Chrono, Secret of Evermore, Orge Battles (Tactics), Bahamut Lagoon, Rudora no Hihou, etc. get nothing, or limited resources compared to the big 3.

I can definitely understand your reasons, but I can't fully agree. We all know thats not going to happen tho and I think that those 3 franchises or imo at least two of them, have many chances to still impress gamers many years down the line.
What really needs to die in this situation is SE strategy. Sure those franchises are in itself a reason, but SE stupidity is mostly to blame. Fact of the matter is that most if not all of the franchises you named, if done with the same vigor as those 3 franchises would not only reinforce the fans love for SE, but it would ultimately still give them a hell of a lot of money...
One has to really question the state of the company at this moment... Because quite frankly, I don't know what the hell is going on in those heads.
