Rumor time folks. Massively reports that hints are pointing towards a possible September beta for Square Enix's upcoming MMO Final Fantasy XIV (PlayStation 3, PC). Wild speculation awaits in the full article.

Announced and in the works, Final Fantasy XIV just got this great-looking trailer featuring scenes from the next big thing for Square Enix. It doesn't really say anything new, and any info we have so far, we've already given. As it is, Final Fantasy XIV is confirmed only for the PlayStation 3 and PC, while the Xbox 360 is still being considered as a platform. Video after the jump.

We've barely got a grip on the Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) release and we're already checking out Final Fantasy XIV stuff. In cased you missed the E3 2009: Sony Press Conference earlier, Square Enix announced that they will be launching Final Fantasy XIV, a new MMORPG, as early as 2010, and as early as now, the official site is now live.

Square Enix and Double Helix have released a teaser trailer for Front Mission Evolved (PC, PS3, Xbox 360). Remember that cityscape in the teaser site that Square Enix made a while back? You can actually see bits of it here. The problem is there's no gameplay footage at all. At least the Nier trailer from yesterday had some.

So yeah, I was VERY stoked when Square Enix trademarked "Front Mission Evolved". Even more so when it was announced that they're bringing the game to E3. Now that the game's official website has gone live, suddenly I am not so stoked anymore.

When you're talking about Square Enix in a global scale, there's no doubting that they've managed to rake in huge amounts of sales for all their franchises. Final Fantasy? Kingdom Hearts? And of course, the more recently acquired Tomb Raider? How do they all stack up against each other? It's not surprising that they're raking sales by the millions for these big franchises. I'm just left wondering... how do they fare against lifetime sales for MGS, GTA, CoD, and the like?

Eidos-Montreal is currently working on a new title in the Deus Ex series. That's no secret, but are they also developing a new Thief game? That's what some people are thinking, based purely on one little image found on the studio's website.

That was a quick resolution. Unlike other acquisition stories that we know of, Tecmo and Square Enix have already settled the score. Unfortunately for Squeenix, Tecmo hearts Koei more, and so takes the gentlemanly way out.

Tecmo's unquestionably in a bubbling tub of hot water the past couple of months, but could their luck be changing? Square Enix has revealed earlier that they have a proposal for a friendly takeover on the beleaguered developer.

"Ready for GAME time!" Tokyo Game Show 2008's theme is definitely one that can get your heart pumping. I know something else that might get your heart pumping: the full list of exhibitors to be present in this year's gaming event at Tokyo. Knowing the exhibitors at TGS 2008 might give a hint as to what games we can probably expect on the show floor (and knowing what games can, in turn, give us a hint as to what types of boothbabe cosplays we might expect to see too). Check out the huge list in the full article!
