Emergency

2008-07-17T13:49:00.005+01:00

Square Planet has been very inactive lately. And I can't handle the blog by myself. The team is quite inactive and isn't posting any news about Square Enix.
So I'm asking if there's any fan out there, visiting this blog, that would like to help me in posting news and contributing to the forums.

If you're interested then please register at the forums and send me a PM. I'll reply as soon as possible with my email, so we can chat in IM at MSN Messenger (as this is the only one I have).

My best regards,

Square Enix Europe confirmed through a press-release to the media, the official release date of Crisis Core on European shelves, set for 20th June.
As far as we know, there hasn't been any change from the North American version other than four additional languages.

It also seems that Square Enix is creating several special limited bundle packs to be released on every country for instance: with the United Kingdom having been confirmed to be shipping a version of the game with a hard-backed artbook, and France having a small-run bundle of the game and an Ice Silver PSP Slim & Lite (minus the 10th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII designs present on the Japanese version).

4 days ago, a Microsoft Excel-generated pie chart was realeased on the official North American Square Enix Members website.

It might be pointless but we're just concerned on the number of the "FFVII Remake requests" being much bigger than the confirmed "FFXIII".
This is causing a big amount of fans to want a remake so bad that they don't care anymore about the upcoming titles.

New info on the Kingdom Hearts Compendium

2008-02-10T14:34:00.001Z

Did you all miss me? Yes, I bet you did. I bring some cool info about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts games. First of all a video of Terra's animations:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZuSe8Ymv3Q

Dude, what's wrong with your Keyblade?! Jesus H. Christ! Nonethless I'm linking the different shapes it takes. Inovating in the battle system.

Next, from Kingdom Hearts Network Forums, I tell you this:

Yesterday we reported news regarding the new information for 358/2 Days. The information wasn't to big, but today more info was leaked and believe me that this is nothing you would want to miss out on! If you missed any news from yesterday, just simply scroll down to the yellow table which will recap everything for you.
Roxas will be able to have different forms like Sora.
The 14th Member is a female who has influenced the actions of Roxas.
This character stays un-named. She is considerably mysterious.
There may be an opening movie to the game.
Cutscenes from 358/2 Days are being re-done to fit the DS right.
The scene in KHII: FM+ featuring Roxas and Axel has now been done in full work detail.
Various Disney characters will appear in the game.

From KH-Vids:

Hey everyone, it seemed all that came at the beginning of this year, was a High Quality scan of 358/2 days which wouldn't really count as something new, then it was a higher quality of something we saw last year.

However now we've got some really nice new information concerning about the three games! Some are things we already know, as others are pretty new and at the same time are interesting. It's about time we got something like this considering lately Square-Enix has been in the dark.

Coded
- The scene of Riku in Neverland is to show what Riku was thinking before he kidnapped Kairi.
- The scene showing Traverse Town where Sora meets Donald and Goofy will be focusing on what Pluto did during that time.
- Sora can glide in Coded.
- The heartless have invaded the data, however they are not bugs.
- High-Speed Mode makes Sora run really fast, as Crash Mode turns the game into a sidescroller action!
- Debugs have a certain timelimit, if you fail to eliminate the bug then you can attempt again with other debugging methods.
- Upgrade Points (VP) can be used to help Sora become stronger, and these are done by bug eliminatin and heartless destroyed. Each heartless is worth 10 points.
- KH Coded's Online play can be used to join in and help other players in the game. However the system changes when in the other player's world, can you escape it? By the way the player's other then the one that joined will be shown as a shadow Sora to prevent confusions.

358/2 Days
- The 14th member is not revealed yet.
- Roxas' gameplay in single player mode has been changed slightly to give a more Kingdom Hearts feel.
- Roxas' must collect hearts everyday, in Organization XIII Saix tells Roxas to be more careful next time.
- The game will be moving throughout from Kingdom Hearts 1 - Kingdom Hearts 2.
- Items obtained in Single Player Mode, can be used in Multiplayer Mode. Also the screen below is mostly used to display the map and target, however it is not complete.
- The new gauge LP Mode has not been fully revealed, but is hinted to be used for powerful techniques.
- In single player mode the arrow is under the right corner of the screen, when in multi player it's under the left. They didn't say if this mysterious arrow (Not the arrow showing where your character is) can be used by the touchpad or not.
- There is a type of missions called "Hologram Missions" that can be used in single and multiplayer mode. These missions are not part of the main storyline at all. This is also how the Organization members trained.
- When doing missions you'll be graded with either a "G" or a "N" The "G" means you did good, and your chair will begin to rotate and rise. If you get an "N" the chair will begin to descend, as you either swayed away from your mission or did a bad job.
- The ability of Dodge roll gives more of a KH1 feel then it does KH2FM+
- Some returning enemies from KH1 will be back, however they have been revamped and there are a few other surprises in the game.
- This game is considered to be a mix of the normal Kingdom Hearts feel, as well as a dark feel to it.
- The Organization character's personalities will be fully revealed in this game, this way you can follow the cutscenes better, and the conversations between them can become more interesting.
- This game features an interesting twist in the battle system where you can chain your attacks together! You can attack, use dodgerolling, glide and more into just a single combination!
- The actions and defenses of each Organization member is new, and they all have their own special ability! Xigbar was able to use stronger attacks for a short while.

Birth by Sleep
- The scene of Cinderalla and Ven, is that Cinderalla is rushing towards the castle while Ven is staring at it, what could have caused this scenario?
- There is a possibility of event limitations within the game.
- Donald and Goofy watch as Yensid trains with Mickey in order for Mickey to become a stronger Keyblade warrior. What is his purpose to gain this power?
- Terra and Malificent are working together, Terra's smile is hinting to a connection but Nomura won't say what.
- Nomura hints that not all three Keybladers are connected to the three heroes of Kingdom Hearts II, however this game will explain the original conflict of the Kingdom Hearts series.
- The new enemies names are not announced still...

Director of Crisis Core talks about FFVII remake

2008-02-07T18:52:00.000Z

The director of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 and Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, Hajime Tabata, spoke to the Playstation Official Magazine about the most wanted remake of the Final Fantasy titles.
The director stated that a remake isn't on the schedule, but it isn't confirmed as well. According to him, the team in charge of Final Fantasy VII is extremely busy and so the remake could be possible if a free time happens to show up.

"The possibility for a remake may become greater if, for instance, the schedules of the original members of the Final Fantasy VII development team, such as Kitase and Nomura, open up."

This means that we may have to wait until we get what we all want. Maybe after the Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XII teams finish their job on the Fabula Nova Cristallys project.

Nomura interview by Famitsu

2008-02-06T12:42:00.000Z

To celebrate their 1000th issue, Famitsu released a 4 page interview with Tetsuya Nomura. We don't have any complete translation but we got some translations provided on some webpages which I give credit to kula shakerz for his work to find them.

- While designing Final Fantasy VII, they were indecisive about how spiky to make Cloud's hair.

- He would be happy with Final Fantasy illustrations done only by Amano.

- He likes to draw with just a sharp pencil.

- Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII: Has muscular legs, she isn't sweet and doesn't cry.

- Aya from Parasite Eve 3 is a bid more rounded than Lightning.

- The clothes of the Final Fantasy Versus XII hero will probably be revised.

- He buys games based on Famitsu reviews.

Here are the four scans: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4.

At this year Jump Festa, a new Final Fantasy: Dissidia trailer was shown confirming the presence of three new characters:

• Squall
Though it was mentioned some weeks ago, Squall, from Final Fantasy 8 will be available.
• Edea
The sorceress from Final Fantasy 8
• Tidus
And the famous Zanarkand Abes Star Player, from Final Fantasy 10

Those who get to be at the Jump Festa, had the chance to take some "punches" on the multiplayer demo, got rewarded with this pouch:

And also, someone decided to give us a small, but yet important, report about the game controls which stands:
- Directional buttons: camera control
- Analog stick: character movement
- L: lock-on
- R: guard
- R + X: dodge
- X: jump
- O: attack (Brave Point reduction)
- []: attack (Health Point reduction - uses BP)
- Triangle: perform "map markers" (such as running on walls)

And to end this topic for today, I give you a IGN report where they give us their first impression about the game, which as it always happened, the game came to be even cooler than it would seem. Also, there's more details and impressions, remember to check them out.

And finally this would be probably my last post until 26th December so I'd like to wish every visitor a great Merry Christmas!! We would like you to enjoy the day, and most of all, I would like to thank you for all of your support, because it counted a lot for me to keep Square Planet alive!

The actual director of Square Enix, Yochi Wanda, comments about the current state of this new console generation.
"Xbox 360 is a console for hardcore gamers, those who buy it are the real gamers", said Wanda.

He mentioned that those who buy Wii, buy it only as a toy, and not as console. It was meant to be made for fun.
And also, as it wouldn't be fair to put it aside. Wanda states that Sony isn't sure about what they want to do with PS3. "Was it made as a console or as an High Technological System?"

The director also took some of the time to state his opinion about the new games development. He says that it's necessary to work on new titles, but also to show and to remember the importance of remakes of previous titles.
"60% of the games belong to series and 40% the new headings. There's a misunderstand idea established that it indicates that only we trust series as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest ", affirms the direction.

Lord of Vermillion trailer

2007-12-03T20:16:00.000Z

Just a few weeks ago we showed the confirmation about Lord Of Vermillion.
Today we've got the official and first trailer showing the gameplay, which is based on a set of cards that call forth monsters that attack other monsters (familiar?).
Sound composed by Nobuo Uematsu, and artwork designed by lots of Square Enix artists, I give you (and thank to Tony from FFInsight) the trailer.

Lord of Vermillion confirmed

2007-11-23T00:27:00.001Z

Some months ago, a rumor about a new game by the name of "Lord of Vermillion" was spread out on the web. But today, Square Enix confirmed to us that it isn't just a rumour. This recently trademarked title makes its way across the internet and the Famitsu Magazine, showing what it seems to be an arcade game based on card battles, letting the player to summon creatures and battle with them (similar to Yu-Gi-Oh/Pokemon trading card games).
Here's the system that will host it:

The soundtrack is being composed by the great Nobuo Uematsu. He'll be composing an entire soundtrack, which you can say it's his first time making it since Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. (Great to have you back sir).

Now, for the artwork, a great team will be working on the design and appearance of the game:
- Ryôsuke Aiba (Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy III [DS])
- Shiro Amano (Kingdom Hearts manga)
- Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy series)
- Toshiyuki Itahana (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series)
- Ryoma Itô (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings)
- Hideo Minaba (Final Fantasy IX)
- Yûsuke Naora (Compilation of Final Fantasy VII)
- Atsushi Ôkubo (Soul Eater manga)
- Akihiko Yoshida (Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII)

And now, something to please you, we leave these screenshots for you:

Some prints from Famitsu Magazine:

And finally, some artworks. We can check the usual Square Enix styled logo artwork, and some other artworks featuring some of the creatures of the game:

And that's all for now. We'll keep you informed as soon as more information gets out.

New Versus XIII screens

2007-11-13T19:06:00.000Z

Media here and there, today we got fresh screens of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and not a big description for those.
We can see the main character's (probably main character) car, which is more like a limousine, which we've already seen him inside it; the place where he was sitting in a royal chair and then, we can see more images of the first battle we've seen in the first trailer.
Enjoy:

Two new screens for FFXIII

2007-11-05T23:55:00.000Z

Wow, the emptiness is so great...
Square Enix is leaving us fans really nervous. We haven't got any news lately, so that's why we're lacking on fresh news, but finnaly, we've got this two, yey, two screenshots from Final Fantasy XIII, thanks to those kindly Game Informers.

So, we got the summon, Shiva, and, well... something green-ish.

P.S.: The two new trailers are set to be released on December, so stay tuned.

A2 Japanese release

2007-10-28T11:22:00.001Z

Lately we've been posting nothing at all, but that's because there's nothing happening in the world of Square Enix, but we'll drop you this little piece of greatness for the NDS.

Since it's release date on Japan, the most anticipated Final Fantasy serie for the NDS, Grimoire of the Rift has been dominating the sales charts.

Rated 34/40 from Famitsu, marks the era of NDS titles. It wasn't the story that attracted most of the fans and players, but the many jobs and customization options.

While Japan is flourishing with this game, North America and Europe is still waiting for a release day.

DQM J on Europe

2007-10-14T10:16:00.000+01:00

Square Enix has officialy announce an European release for early 2008.
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker, for Nintendo DS.
DQM is available at the moment in Japan. We haven't yet reported about it, but anyway, we'll start by posting the cover artwork, which again, keeps leaving track of Square Enix:

Japanese Artwork

US Artwork

The game itself is a 3D based RPG (first of the Dragon Quest Monsters spin-offs), using a game engine similar to Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King; it's cell-shaded animation is quite similar to Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2 and the battle system is the same as the previous Dragon Quest Monsters games.
The main character doesn't participate in battles except for using items. You have 4 monsters in your party and send them direct orders, or you can even add some AI settings.

DQMJ doesn't have random battles. You can simply run and watch a monster and avoid it, or even attacked from their backs, winning a Pre-Emptive Strike.

This is the first game in the series to have online play, via Nintendo Wi-Fi, and once again, the characters and monsters are created by Akira Toryama, famous creator of the Dragon Ball characters.

Interested in this game? Why not import it from Japan via Play-Asia:
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker - US$ 48.90 (~34.84 EUR)

Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday and Final Fantasy XIII

2007-10-04T21:59:00.000+01:00

Here I am posting my first news for Square Planet =) I'm gonzab, 17 years old, portuguese and asked Xtreme Flash if I could help with the blog which he imediatly complied. Thank You Xtreme. Now to bu

siness:

I guess everyone knows that a trailer of Final Fantasy XIII was shown in the last Tokio Game Show ( TGS ). I found some Famitsu scans talking about it.

Don't worry now I also found the translation. So, basically what they say that was in the trailer is:

"

- The city inside of Cocoon was shown in the new trailer.
- The new FF13 girl is quite different than other girls in the series so it's hard to get her into balance.
- Nomura said the latest Versus 13 trailer finally caught up to the original image he had always wanted to go with. Two new characters even showed up but everything might be reset by the end of the year.* The main character's design has always been a temporary design anyway so his real self will be revealed sometime next year. (MAJISSUKA)
- The plains and towns are following the image of Italy. (I'm sorry, Nomura, but it didn't seem like that to me... OTL) The text that showed up in the trailer were also Italian.
- For now Agito 13 looks pretty tame compared to the main 13 and Versus 13 but a bigger revelation will be done next year.

This is not my translation. Kudos to maiki not me aye? Also got some Famitsu scans with another upcoming work of our beloved Tetsuya Nomura: Parasite Eve: 3rd Birthday.

There you go. Unfortunatly, Gamespot says it's a mobile game. Damn you Square and your mobileness.

That's all from me, for now. It was my first post here and God, do I feel happy =P

Media, media and more FFTA2 media

2007-10-04T09:45:00.002+01:00

Square finally has revelead the Japanese cover for Nintendo DS, whcih has always, that white background with the title artwork... You get the point...

In other news, Square Enix has also shown to public a track from this same game, and you'll recognize that nostalgic feeling like in any other Hitoshi Sakimoto's tracks.

The official japanese website has also suffered some quite updates several times, and now the results show now 2 new characters pages for Vaan and Penelo, the job section shows 26 new jobs for all the five races, two new wallpapers featuring Vaan and Penelo, the Tokyo Game Show '07 trailer and a variety of screenshots.

(Check the official Japanese website for more)

And for last, the latest issue of Shonen Jump magazine revealed the presence of two new characters for the game, Al-Cid Margrace (which will be a playable character in-game with an exclusive "Agent" Job), and, everyones favorite Moogle, Montblanc!

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift is due for release in Japanese stores from October 23rd this year. No news yet as to releases outside of Japan.

Square Planet: September Review

2007-10-01T10:11:00.000+01:00

We'll take a small brief on what happened last month just to keep everyone on the day, without having to waste time on checking all the posts.

So beginning with the Poll of the Month: What do you think about SP's Jukebox?, which 4 have answered "It's Good", 1 "No Opinion" and 1 "Excellent but could have more songs" and I'll just refer to this one as the other ones don't need comments.
I'm trying to upload as many songs as possible, but, it takes some time to upload each one due to my internet connection. Other than that, I don't have all the time to stay here, but I'll try to upload once in a while.

----------

As for the rest of the month, basically we had the Tokyo Game Show 2007!
3 new trailers for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 have showed up, which features some gameplay on the old pub, the world map and a battle.
Square Enix announced 3 new Kingdom Hearts game to the KH Compendium, "KH: Birth by Sleep"; KH: 358/2 Days" and "KH: Coded".
For the XBox360 players you'll have some quite a luck to be able to play with another new S-E title, Last Remnant. There's also a trailer announced, which seemed very appealing.
And more for the X fans, Infinite Undiscovery, it's another MMORPG for the 360, and a trailer is also available.
And like all the Final Fantasy fans couldn't expect better, 3 new trailers for the 3 Fabula Nova Crystallies games have been released at the TGS. At the moment, these trailers aren't available on Square Planet, but I'll try to uploaded as soon as I find them. In the meanwhile you can read the trailer's caption.

So it seems for now. Not to much of a big news but it's worth something. We didn't get to know what was with that FFVII: Endless Crisis rumour, but probably it was just like that, a rumour, or we'll get to know about it sooner or later.

What we missed on our blog?
We missed the information that there'll be 2 new more characters for Final Fantasy: Dissidia, Squall (FFVIII) and Firion (FFII), lot of footage on Final Fantasy IV's Nintendo DS remake (a playable demo, some trailers, wallpapers and some screens) and also the announcement of the release date of the new update for Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess which has been set for 22nd November and a new job, "Dancer".

We would like to post all this news on schedule, but with the lack of staff and time, we aren't able to post everything like always, but I bet you guys don't only come to Square Planet.

And thats all mates, I don't quite see a more advance on October, but we don't know what Square Enix may always pop out.

TGS 07: Infinite Undiscovery Trailer

2007-09-24T08:40:00.000+01:00

The first glimpse at Square-Enix's latest masterpiece, exclusive to Xbox 360:

TGS 07: More Fabula Nova Crystallis

2007-09-20T20:34:00.000+01:00

Sure Square has been pumpin' TGS hard this year. Three new trailers of all the Fabula compilation have released, though there's still no video available at the moment, so we'll have the caption from IGN:

In addition to the gun wielding heroine we've seen in previous screens and footage, this new trailer revealed a brunette with a bow, some kind of cybernetic female that seemed to be partially comprised of water, and a guy with a cap that rides a motorcycle. As with most Square-produced CG sequences, there were a lot of close-ups on the characters as they smirked knowingly before launching into an attack.

Though the video started with the train sequence we've seen a few times now, it eventually revealed a stunning canyon vista where hulking dinosaur-like creatures lumbered in sparkling waters under what appeared to be a planet in the sky dripping ice. The little snippets of gameplay shown featured some fast-paced combat, showing what appeared to be a character turn order sequence in the top left of the screen. Few story details could be gleaned from the trailer, except that it will again involve crystals. But such a notion is already built into the title. No release date was given.

The Versus trailer had less of an epic presentation, but was still impressive. It featured the grey-haired main character descending a staircase outside a stately looking building in a dismal metropolis. He was getting shelled by armored guards at the bottom of the steps but deflecting their bullets with some kind of magical shield. Cut between the action sequence where he decisively sliced them all up with his sword were scenes with a white robed sage overseeing some kind of magical device, and a sword-wielding female character dressed in a skirt. Also shown was a male character in a vest armed with a short gun. He and the grey-haired character appeared to be comrades, as they took a car trip together out of the city into a desert wasteland featured near the trailer's end. No gameplay was shown during the demo, but it did flash a line of text, "this is a fantasy based on reality," whatever that means. Again, no release date.

For Agito, a CG trailer showed a student at some kind of fantastical school activating a crystal-powered device, which subsequently exploded. The trailer was brief, but it appears to incorporate a large host of students as playable characters.

TGS 07: The Last Remnant Trailer

2007-09-20T17:43:00.001+01:00

For what it seems, this trailer is a mix of real time cutscenes and actual gameplay.
This trailer sure gives us a good taste of what Final Fantasy was like years ago for its turn-based battle system and will contain Quick Time Event sequences similar to Kingdom Hearts where the player must press a combination of buttons with a correct timing to defeat enemies.

The game is set for a worldwide release in 2008 for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, but for what it seems, the trailer missed Europe there...

Anyway, domo arigato and enjoy the English-voiced trailer here:

New KH Games Announced

2007-09-20T10:34:00.000+01:00

Here you go, all of you KH fans! Square Enix recently announced at the Tokyo Game Show that there'll be 3 new more games into the Kingdom Hearts Compendium:

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, which derives its name from the secret ending to Kingdom Hearts II, deals primarily with the far past and also adds a new protagonist to the mix, reportedly visually akin to Zack of Crisis Core. Birth by Sleep will hit the PSP.

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days apparently allows for up to four people to play simultaneously as different members of Organization XIII. 358/2 Days' main character seems to be Roxas. This Nintendo DS installment will deal with the "time of the other side."

Kingdom Hearts: Coded will see the return of Sora and the main cast from the earlier installments. Set to release to mobile phones, Coded takes place somewhere in between the first and second installments of Kingdom Hearts, exploring the aspect of time gone by.

There are no releases day yet, but this is just the beginning, so stay tuned!

TGS 07: 3 New FF Tactics Advance 2 Videos

2007-09-19T16:57:00.001+01:00

Today, GameTrailers has provided 3 new more gameplay videos for Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: The Sealed Grimoire.
There are quite some features which were already present in the previous series, such as the battle system, the pub gameplay where you took all the quests and a world map navigation gameplay, which seems that we won't be able to see the entire world.
It's not that much for those who already played FFTA but it's good to remember the old times.

Endless Crisis: Final Fantasy VII Rumour

2007-09-18T22:09:00.000+01:00

And the rumors keep growing and growing as the TGS 07 approaches.
Today we have the information from a Japanese forum that a new Final Fantasy 7 title is going to be announced at the TGS 07 for the Playstation 3. There's no artwork and official confirmation about it, but don't give up your hopes until the game show starts.

Last Remnant Trailer

2007-09-17T22:07:00.000+01:00

Get your first look at Square Enix’s latest, with a special note from the director just for you.

July 3, 2007 - In the world of RPGs, no developer/publisher’s games are more closely watched than those of Square Enix. Its newest title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, The Last Remnant, promises to give gamers an experience unlike any we’ve seen before.

As a special note to introduce the first public trailer for The Last Remnant, director Hiroshi Tokai sent over a personal note to introduce the video.

“After much anticipation, I am delighted to be able to reveal an exclusive trailer for THE LAST REMNANT. A lot of work has gone into creating this trailer so I hope you enjoy this peek of what’s to come.

“Following THE LAST REMNANT’s announcement at the Square Enix Party in May, we received a tremendous amount of feedback from both media and fans. I am aware that some of the early information regarding the game may have been a bit misleading, so we hope today’s presentation will clear some things up.

“I would like to take this opportunity to correct one of the common misconceptions about the game. Though many believe there are two protagonists, in actuality there is only one protagonist — Rush and he is the only playable character.

“The man splattered with blood is a vital character in the game, and the story’s anti-hero. This ominous character has captured the interest of many and we will strive to develop him into a character that will live up to everyone’s expectations.

“We look forward to sharing updates with you throughout the development of this project. Please keep an eye out for future announcements, and enjoy this latest taste of the world of THE LAST REMNANT.”

– Hiroshi Takai
THE LAST REMNANT Director

Nice to have you back Solfira.

Square Planet as Blog now??

2007-09-17T18:15:00.000+01:00

"This guy doesn't stops" - that's you might thinking now, right? Yeah, I never stop!
Square Planet started at the forum, then a website was started to being developed in a free hoster, but, when I took a new look at Blogspot.com I thought it would be easier to post news and redirect them to the forum.
And more, the blog is totally public, so any comments are acceptable, this won't make other Square Enix fans that ain't registered at the forums, to post at their free will.
In spite of beginning again on a "blogster" it doesn't mean you can't contribute on our old "Library". I'm trying to still keep that, to give all the information you need 24/7.
I've checked other blogspots and soem of them have other pages, which I hope to have some too to give the library a new place to "live".
So, send your ideas, opinions, problems, suggestions, etc to our e-mail: square_planet@hotmail.com or join our forums and discuss with our members and administrators.

Your best regards,
