Countdown To Square-Enix's New Game: What Is It?
Okay, but before we begin, just get the idea of a Final Fantasy VII remake out of your heads. Seriously. That's not what this is.
But the million-dollar question is: what is it? Square-Enix is counting down to a new game announcement and as you can see, there are just over 227 hours left to wait. There's also a number 4 and a hand-drawn scene that appears to be a quaint natural landscape with a river or stream running down the middle. This leads us to believe it's another RPG, but it's the "4" that is causing problems for those who wish to hazard a guess. What has Square-Enix made three of...? We've been waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 and we're pretty certain we didn't miss it, they never did any sequels to certain IPs like Vagrant Story, and even if Legend of Mana could be considered a loose sequel to Secret of Mana, there were still only two such titles. It really can't be Final Fantasy, of course...unless it's Final Fantasy Tactics. Technically, we had the original on the PlayStation, the one for the GBA, and the remake of the original for the PSP, The Lion War. So that's kinda three. Anyone else have any ideas as to what it could be? What is Square-Enix working on that would have a "4" in the title?
Well, we've got about nine and a half days to wait, so get your thinking caps on. It could very well be a game for the DS or Wii or something, which means if it's revealed, we won't be telling you about it here. But let's just hope it comes to a Sony platform, whatever it turns out to be.

Although, that could just be something to throw us off.
Eidos is owned by Square Enix, and apparently Eidos Montreal is working on Thief 4. Could be that but not likely.

Actually i have an ideal what theyre up to.
Ya see theyre still in stage 1 where they just make a lot of crappy games to get people used to them so after awhile they seem good.
Stage 2 After theyve completed sttage 1 theyll make a remake of ever final fantasy using Natal, Sonys Motion sensing controller and Wii Motion plus. For 360 they get 2 remakes Final Fantasy 4 and Dirge of Cerberus remakes. Then using Natal and hypnotic suggestion to force people to purchase the limited addition Cecil dark Knight armor and Vincent Death Penalty for 499.00 apecie for "More Percise feel" .Next the PS3 will get a Final Fantasy 7 remake and be forced buy the Buster Sword Attachment for the Playstation "Wand" a modest 400.00 because lets face it who wouldnt like to be Cloud. For the Wii they have a life Size Final Fantasy 6 Magiteck Armor controlled with the Wii motion plus from the real cockpit at 1299.00 of course.
Stage 3 WORLD DOMINATION you see Square Enix built up the Warchess with all the "useless" accessories to buy every game developer/Publisher. Then flinally it happens. At 12:00 am all heck brakes loose as the true hynotic suggestion begins to take effect. 360 owners dawn tthe dark knight armor and Death Penalty . Long hours with the armor and gun have given them superhuman jumping abilty able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ans shoot a fly of a tree at the top of a mountain with pinpoint accuracy. PS3 owners will be able to use the buster sword accessory to claeve building in half with 1 blow and rend the earth asunder with theyre mighty blade. The Wii owners will hop into theyre Magitek armor and begin to use it to burn, freeze, and shock the non faithful. Wada With his army of brainwashed minions built up he starts to march from one side of the world to the other slowy destroying everything in his path as he becomes Emperor of the the New World Order the Square Enix Emipre.
Well conspiracy theory time is over back to FF7 hope that buster sword Attachment comes out soon.

Actually, there have been 9 games in the Seiken Densetsu series, though not all of them made it outside of Japan and some of them were just spin-offs. But anyway, we've already seen a proper Seiken Densetsu 4, which was called Dawn of Mana in the US.

But I don't think it has anything to do with FF. The 4 probably means after the 9 days is up a new site will come up with a new countdown and a 3 after it.

Final Fantasy IV remake for PSP.
A forth Final Fantasy Tactics game, if count FFT on PSOne, FFT Advance on GBA and FFT A2 for DS.
The main character in FFT A2 had a guest role in the remake and enchanted version of the original in FFT: the Lion's War on PSP.
Or it could be some dissapointing as an FFXaddtitlehereIII DS version.

If the 4 has nothing to do with the games name I hope its Kingdom hearts 3 but the background doesnt seem to look like its related to it or the music.
Theres also a bridge and castle on a cliff face in the bottom right of the sketch, I am gonna say this is a completely new series, perhaps with 4 games in it.

An enhanced port might merit a countdown.

After hearing so much about Valkyria Chronicles I finally downloaded the demo and was blown away!
Soo much fun!! and it somehow manages to keep the turn base style that I always miss so much...
Damn I'm going to buy it right away, loved the demo and I know most of you guys loved the game so I'm sure is going to be money well spent.
Square who??

As much as I would love to see a new Xenosaga game, the ending to Xenosaga 3 doesn't leave a couple of my favorite characters in a fit state to be used...Besides Xenosaga 3 was a compression of the story line that was to span up to 6 games. So I'm not sure what the would do.

Those of you who have Xenogears should beat the game and watch the whole ending even after the credits. There's a scene with greenery and a lifeform in a capsule (realian or kosmos maybe?) after that it says "Xenogears, Episode v" as the 5th episode.
One thing that ties saga and gears together is the Zohar. After finishing saga ep. 3 I can't help but wonder if Abel and Nephilem's story (reincarnation as shion was describing at the end of ep. 3) will begin... Abel = Fei, Nephilem = Elly
Can you tell I'm really into the series?
I DON'T CARE IF ITS SQUARE, SQUARE-ENIX, MONOLITH, NAMCO OR NAMCO BANDAI! SOMEBODY BETTER CONTINUE THIS SERIES!!
We don't even know how "xeno" ties in with the story yet?!

Valkyrie Profile also came to mind... but it seems too soon following the last release...
Also to mind is Final Fantasy Tactics...
FF Tactics (remade to War of the Lions)
FF Tactics Advance
FF Tactics A2
.....maybe? Picture and music -could- fit for a new Tactics for DS...
I'd prefer Grandia 4...but Tactics is what it seems to point to in my mind...
