With Square Enix choosing not to talk too much about the promised PS3 version of The Last Remnant, it's already become a bit of a longshot, and now Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has cast further doubts that it will ever see the light of day.

Since Square Enix's official acquisition of Eidos back in May, there've been lots of hoping and speculating surrounding the possibility of the two publishers crossing-over IPs. Here's your answer - in an interview with Gamasutra, the CEOs of both companies reveal: "It's possible."

Worries that Final Fantasy XIII will be delayed sprang up when Square Enix president Yoichi Wada announced that its release could be affected by Dragon Quest IX's own delay. Looks like worries may have been premature. FFXIII's director Motomu Toriyama says that development is still "going favorably for a 2009 launch."

Major bummer. Square Enix prez Yoichi Wada has just announced that the delay of Dragon Quest IX for the DS may affect the release of Final Fantasy XIII.

Well, frak.

We've just started the year, and a lot of us may have been expecting to get a 2009 release for Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360). Well if you're in Japan, you do. For the rest of us, we'll have to wait until next year, when Square Enix will finally release the latest Final Fantasy into the global market. 2010. Ouch.

It's not the first time for Square Enix and Ubisoft when it comes to publishing partnerships. This year though, the two buddies will grow even closer as Squeenix distributes Ubisoft titles into the Japanese market. According to the latest issue of Famitsu, Yoichi Wada made the announcement and the first games of this partnership will start coming on April. More info inside.

Things are looking up for Eidos, which had a very tough year. The owner of the Tomb Raider franchise is being courted by several big names, including the titan studio Square Enix, who's looking to expand with more titles that appeal to Western tastes.

Well if Lara doesn't appeal to Western tastes I don't know what does.

We've been seeing a lot of remakes lately, and there's an undeniable patronage for them. Naturally, the mammoth publisher isn't about to pass on the opportunity. Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada, talks about games, consumers, and why remakes are in. Square Enix and remakes, huh?  Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Lately, several gaming bigwigs in Japan have shown growing concern that the West is outstripping development from their end.

Square Enix to the rescue! Squeenix prez Yoichi Wada suggested that to remain competitive against Western companies, gaming companies in Japan should consider forming an alliance.

So how's development on Final Fantasy XIII going? Yoichi Wada went on national TV the other day - well, Japanese national TV - to prove to everyone that, yes, FF13 is indeed going places with their Crystal Tools engine. He took Pigtailed Girl over here and took her for a spin!
