Is the harm of giving Square-Enix money outweighed by the benefits of supporting the wonderful games Yoko Taro makes?
No. You can always find someone worthy of supporting without having to compromise; whether that's movies, music, anime, manga, eroge, or whatever, there's no limit to the opportunities to part with your money.
Pirate or buy second hand if you must, but absolutely do not pre-order directly or otherwise support companies like SE. These kind loathe you, demean you, and go out of their way to insult you -- luckily they create extremely easily boycottable products.
Do not freely give up what is your premier act of disobedience. There's not much in your life you can control, but this is one of those few.
