- By the numbers: Revenant sells, Itadaki smells
 Square Enix recently published some figures revealing sales of Revenant Wings, Itadaki Street DS, and anticipated remake Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, all over the first six-month period of 2007. What are the numbers? Well, Final Fantasy XII sequel Revenant Wings came in first with 520,000 copies, followed by The War of the Lions with 310,000 copies and Itadaki with 280,000. No surprises here: Revenant Wings reviewed solidly and followed up a stellar title, Lion War was purportedly plagued with several loading issues, and as for Itadaki DS...well...Itadaki Street has never been potent enough to receive a localization. Better luck next time. Jeuxfrance

- E3 2007 - Square Enix to bring online store stateside
 In addition to its E3 lineup announcement, Square Enix has revealed its scheme to open a North American online store. Square Enix, as a self-described "premiere [maker] of high end-collectibles" plans to stock a multitude of "popular and hard-to-find items" including Master Arms, Play Arts, and Mechanical Arts spanning various series, from Final Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts.

- Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings info surfaces
 This being the week of Tokyo Games Show, you can expect a bit more information on upcoming Square Enix titles, starting here with Famitsu's coverage of Revenant Wings, the DS "sequel" that apparently isn't a sequel and merely takes place in the same universe with the same characters, irrespective of any relationship to the original Final Fantasy XII. The game will explore further the relationship between Vaan and Penelo in a way that wasn't possible in its precursor as well as documenting their adventures as Air Pirates. Terrific.
