FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 January 2012
19 Jul 2011
"FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 is slated for a January 2012 release for North America. Be excited!"
Exact quotes from Emily Shoji on Twitter. I don't know about you guys but i'm not too excited, I was more excited when Final Fantasy XIII was getting released. Then I played the game and then i noticed that i t wasn't worth finishing. So maybe they corrected some stuff in this sequel but i'm definitely not the most excited for this.
Following the earthquake in Japan, video game publisher Square Enix turned off the game servers for their two MMO games – Final Fantasy XI and XIV in an attempt to conserve power in the disaster-struck country. They announced that they wouldn’t charge the game’s monthly fee for the months of March and April. The games are back online now, but Square Enix still won’t continue to charge for Final Fantasy XIV as they try to work out quality issues with that game.
Will FFXIV ever make a profit for the company? Does anyone play this game?

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced!
18 Jan 2011
Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy XIII-2 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 at its Square Enix 1st Production Dept. Premier Event.
Details are rather limited at the moment, but it will again be directed by Motomu Toriyama and, here's the surprising part, it will be releasing during 2011 in Japan.
Toriyama claimed that fans had desperately been seeking a sequel to find out more about Lightning, so that's why the game was developed. A short trailer was shown, which will be made available on the 20th of January. It showed Lightning in a fight with a purple haired man.
Everyone was expecting this news following the domain name registration, but I don't think anyone was expecting it this soon.

Final Fantasy XIV players given 30 more days free
18 Oct 2010
Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV players are to receive an additional 30 days free play as a result of feedback and the current state of the game.
"Since the official launch of service on September 30, 2010, we have received a wealth of constructive feedback from the Final Fantasy XIV community, and the development and management teams would like to take this opportunity to express their sincerest gratitude," explained the publisher. For those who purchased the collector's edition and began to play one week before official service began, the month-long free play period is drawing to a close. Considering the nature of much of the feedback we received, however, and the current state of the game, we have decided to extend the free trial period for all users."
Square Enix added: "The development and management teams are carefully considering all player feedback, and working diligently to implement whatever changes and additions will serve to make Eorzea a better home for adventurers. We humbly ask for your continued support to this end."
To qualify for the extended trial period players must have registered a Final Fantasy XIV service account and purchased a character by October 25, 2010.
