- E3: Valkyrie Profile sequel under development?
 In an interview with Yoshinori Yamagishi, producer of Radiata Stories, Yamagishi's response when asked about referring to Valkyrie Profile as a series was cryptic and vague, as if he had something to say that he wasn't ready to discuss. Go speculation and conjecture! Gamespy interview
- E3 2005: Squenix vaunts Polymorphism in full swing; still can't provide Final Fantasy XII release date; Kingdom Hearts II voice actors confirmed
 "Square Enix, Inc. to Unveil Massive Lineup at The Electronic Entertainment Expo," states the press release furiously. But the list is unimpressive: there's nothing new save for the odd mobile phone title, and the release dates we're so fanboyishly begging for fail to appear as well. Nevertheless, here's the full list
- Radiata Stories is released and awesome
 Contrary to expectation by many Tri-Ace haters and comfortably inline with true experts like myself and Rachel, Radiata Stories is performing well in Japan since its release yesterday, selling 152k copies on the first day and beating Resident Evil 4. Square Enix does indeed have a stranglehold on that market. The game also garnered impressive scores from Dengeki PS2 last week, with a review spitting out three 95s and a 90. No NA or European dates have been given yet, but it's more than likely that they will be eventually. Meanwhile, feel free to complain about wanting a Valkyrie Profile sequel.
- Nami Tamaki lauded by publisher
 As previously reported, Japanese pop artist Nami Tamaki has been signed to perform the Radita Stories theme song. Says her publisher Sony, "many heard about her rumors and were attracted to her instantly. She is the up-and-coming star, not only as a singer, but in various other genres too. Nami always wanted to be a singer, so she eagerly went to dance schools. She can dance, she can sing, and she looks great, so it wasn't long before people took notice of her at various different auditions." Link
- For a limited time only
 There is a new Radiata Stories trailer available on the Official Site, with spiffy new footage and Nami Tamaki's "Fortune", the main theme. You'd better see it soon though, as it's only online until December 7th. Official Radiata Stories Website
- Radiata Stories theme song now with shameless bribe for artist
 According to 1Up, Japanese pop artist Nami Tamaki has been signed to perform the opening theme to Tri-Ace's Radiata Stories, "Fortune". Naturally, in return Tamaki has been provided her own in-game character, though to what end has yet to be revealed. For now, we can only marvel at what lengths developers will go to obtain a licensed theme song. 1Up

- Square Enix trademarks "Radiata Stories"
 Apparently Square Enix registered a "Radiata Stories" trademark at the US patent office on June 30th, but seeing as we don't know what it is (it better not be another blasted cellphone title), there's not much to speculate about. OMGWTF NEW CHRONO GAME?!?!
