- Dragon Quest VIII developer announces upcoming PSP RPG
Unrelated to anything Square Enix is putting out, Sony confirmed that the company responsible for Dragon Quest VIII, whichwill undoubtedly be the biggest selling Christmas title in Japan, Level 5, is developing a new RPG for the PSP, tying back to last year's curious FFXII-ish image of a lush, vibrant aerial city.

Uematsu's Black Mages homepage has updated with a short flash intro, cover art and release date for the upcoming second album in the series. Black Mages II: ~The Skies Above~ will be released on December 22nd in Japan, and feature at least renditions of FFX's Skies Above and FFVIII's Man with a Machine Gun, though whether it will be received as enthusiastically as the original with such dodgy operatic vocals remains to be seen...

- Uematsu leaves Square Enix (updated)
Nobuo Uematsu has ended his nearly 20 year position at Square Enix in favour of a career where he can define his own deadlines and not work by such strict schedules. The power is going to his head! Nevertheless, Yasunori Mitsuda opted for the same direction and is now fated to make music for second rate anime, crappy RPGs, and irrelevant Mario Party games. Uematsu will be founding his own company to support his compositions and his band The Black Mages, but leaving Square Enix doesn't mean he won't be working with them in the future as a freelancer: indeed, some of the Final Fantasy soundtracks are his personal favourites.
