Here the translation :

Well there is no assertion but some seem credible (the first), the others not.

1st October, Square Enix should announce the creation of Square Enix Holdings, which becomes the new home of Squenix, with funds 100% auto finance.
Sony will have absolutely no right in this new society this is the way to get rid of SE shares that Sony has.

The FF XIII PS3 exclusivity in Japan may fall ... As Versus, SO4 pass out under conditions (see below). Last remnant might even be cancelled on PS3 if its sales on Xbox are bad.

In fact, no longer Square games on PS3 !

Nomura is really the last bastion and the only one who want work on PS3, even in his team it makes the atmosphere tense because they want work on 360.
Apparently, the pressure is so hard, it could be that Nomura resigns soon .......
They have started dev 360 since March at Square.

SO4 is in 60 fps, FF XIII 30
If SO4 exceeds 1.5 million sales in the world, it remain exclusive for the 360

Squenix will focus on devs PSP and Xbox 360.

A demo version of FF XIII would be presented on Blu-ray FFVII AC Complete

MS will fund the delay of FF XIII if it were to happen ....

Thats it for now

This is frankly very bad

If Nomura does resign, hopefully Sony swoops in and offers him a very sweet deal to get him in one of the first party developers.

So say we all

[Mikeblu]

To be honest I've never been intrested in FF but on behalf of the PS community, ot oh

[Toxa]

1 October 2008, Sony and Square will be formally divorces
If it's true off course

[richieb1971]

Well they did it 12 years ago and divorced Nintendo. So be it!

lol,> I could care less about Square-Enix now. But i still dont like them

[saprano]

No games From SE on ps3? how true is this?

[Psx0005]

I'll wait till this news hits us stateside. Not dissing on the translation effort, but I'd like more to back this stuff up.

[saprano]

And why would would SE want to remove sonys shares? Max help.

Did you mean to say you COULDN'T care less? If you could care less, that means you do care, but if you had to, you could lessen the amount you care. Most people get this phrase wrong.

[MOONPHASE]

jeez this is like commiting suicide for them. they can't just abandon a whole console so basically don't buy Star Ocean 4 but buy Last Remanent?

If MS provide a lot of cash ...

[saprano]

I think ever since the FF13 e3 shocker people have been making up shit about SE.

why wouldn't they make ps3 games anymore but PSP? if that was the case sony wouldn't let them make games at all for them, it doesn't make sense.

and the whole giving up the shares thing.

[Terjyn]

The first line in this says (paraphrased) "Some of this is not from credible sources" and people are taking it seriously?

You can't just reorganize stock to eliminate a stockholder. Good lord if it was that easy companies would do it all the time, sell 10% of your stock to someone for boatloads of money, then reorganize stocks and eliminate them.

Final Fantasy 13(360) in Japan is a complete and utter non-issue.

Having said all of that, if any of this is true I called it...the last real decision Square-Enix had was to accept Microsoft's money, now they are just pawns doing exactly what their new overlords say.

I think it'd be awesome if S-E drove away the remaining talent they have, after lying to consumers for 3 solid years.

for you!

yeah i know what i said smart ass. i meant exactly what i said. thats why i put it in bold and put lol, because i knew somebody(you) would think they were smarter than everybody. read and understand the post.

[saprano]

He just owned your ass....go back to sleep now.

1. These are rumors and are not nessecarly true.

2. Its not like they won't legally have to give Sony money for their shares, Im sure Sony will receive quite a bit of cash in return for all this. Sony lost a lot of money giving blu a victory and they need to make it back up. I would much rather have blu-ray be the winner than have SE.

3. Sounds to me, if this is true, there might be a brain drain over at SE. If this is true, they can develop for whoever they want to. Sony needs to sweep up the talent though.

4. Have these people not realized the very best JRPG on the 360 has only sold about 750k, SO4 isn't going to do double the sales of Lost Odyssey.

5. Let SE do what they want, nobody who ever goes into MS' pocket doesn't regret it later.

[Terjyn]

Another thought, if this is true, some of it could be because Sony withdrew support/money after the recent announcement. After all, the Last Remnant and Star Ocean 4 aren't exactly going to be huge sellers either way.
