FFXI succession a vicious rumor
There have been some very interesting reports posted on several popular gaming websites recently that appear to detail what has been called a "Final Fantasy XI successor": a new MMORPG to inspire ridiculous Red Mage cosplay. Japanse Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) credited production to Hiromichi Tanaka, whose was responsible for the original FFXI, and declared it would release on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and upcoming Windows Vista platforms. But Nikkei, it seems, is not the ultimate source for all things Final Fantasy. Square Enix issued a press release today stating, "the Company did not make such an announcement and has not made any decisions resembling those detailed in the media report." Instead, it is, "developing an online title for next-generation platforms [...] as a completely new MMORPG". Sorry, kids. Time to put the virtual gil away. Press Release

More trademarks; place your bets
Business continues and Square Enix has registered no less than three new trademarks for our speculation. "Tsukkomi stick" and "Tsukkomi Browser" have both been registered with the Japanese patent office, in addition to "Monotone", which has also received U.S. registration. The former two could be cell phone titles, but "Monotone" leaves much to the imagination. Rahul insists it is a "film noir action RPG for the Xbox 360". Honestly, anything is possible. GameFront
