I liked the numbers (tee hee) so much I just had to stick it in my signature.

Hmm...wonder what those numbers or countdown eludes to. E3 is only 19 days away now so maybe it is linked to that and will start closer to the time..

Please look forward to it

46 hours? 49 minutes? probably not. Though I hope it's E3-related.

It's definitely not an hourly countdown. It's a game that's celebrating it's 10th anniversary so it had to have been released in either 2003 or 2004.

It stands for Yoroshiku, which means "Please continue to support us in our future endeavors".

Did you expect anything different?

Square-Enix President and CEO Mike Fischer Resigns - IGN

I'm confused isn't Yosuke Matsuda the current president of Square Enix?

He is president of the US division I seem to recall.

He is president of the US division I seem to recall.

That's the first thing that reads in the title; Square Enix of AMERICA. '_'

Fischer probably wouldn't want to go through all the fiscal and paperwork complications in terms of changes with the new president and his ideas, was offered a better job (or both).

To be fair it didn't originally in the article say 'America' but yeah it is still fairly obvious ^^.

And as usual the final fantasy fans arent too excited for such changes and there's still hate for XIII, even LR.

I don't know. The reception to these changes have been fairly positive outside of the whole "interest in mobile titles that are console quality" At least I haven't seen many complaints outside of people who were unaware Matsuda is the new president, the people who always beg for VII HD, and the people who just don't flat out read.

 

[Mirby]

The people who beg for VII HD are like sharks when there's blood in the water

except there's no blood in the water

yet they're still just as frenzied about it

Yeah, I was reading the comments in the link and while no ffvii remake beggars are there, it's not rosy. Worse situations are elsewhere though.

Square Enix is making a new Hitman game for PC and next gen consoles;

"Io-Interactive is developing a new, AAA Hitman game that will be coming to PC and next-gen consoles and Square Enix Montreal is fully focused on mobile development of games some of which are related to the Hitman franchise. We look forward to sharing more details about these titles later this year."

Not sure how many are/were watching the updates for Square Enix's Collective. So far, it has been really enjoyable to see this become an opportunity within the company.

It started off as a strange opportunity for Eidos IPs.

the first three Eidos IPs that we're opening up for use for submissions as Gex, Fear Effect and Anachronox...

However, developer submissions did not seem to use any of the IPs as mentioned above.

The submissions so far:
World War Machine -Tuque Games
Moon Hunters -Kitfox Games
Game of Glens -Ruffian Games

Another update should make its appearance soon. More information here: Home | Square Enix Collective

New project for SQEX:

team043 | SQUARE ENIX

Can't tell what is it. Details and information are obviously scarce. Anyone happen to know any information?

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

Well, it's a light novel style RPG...All female cast.
