Emergency

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,
Xtreme Flash

Crisis Core European Release Date

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).

Square Enix emails-pie-chat statistics

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.
