First on the agenda was the question of why the game is taking so long to finish. The devs answered that the team doing it is pretty young and adjusting was one of the most time-consuming parts of development. As for how far along into completion the team has gone, they said they're at about 50 percent and that character models are almost completely sealed. Plenty more at the source! news Jul 2, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/ps2/News-147449.aspx Kotaku writes: Square Enix honcho Yoichi Wada (above, left) is worried. Western game companies are doing really well! Meaning that competition is getting harder. Yet, Wada hopes to capitalise on the Western market, aiming to increase the ratio of overseas sales from its current 50 percent to 80 percent in the next three years. According to the exec: We face competition not only from Japanese videogame companies but from game companies worldwide. We also see some new players from outside the videogame industry coming in... Economies of scale and breadth of scope is getting important. It may be a business alliance or it may be us taking a stake in others, but we need to go beyond traditional Square Enix. That business alliance sounds nice and all. But, how about stop calling everything Final Fantasy? Or make things other than RPGs? Or if you are going to make RPGs, why not make the games people have been asking for for the past decade? news May 20, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps2/final-fantasy-xii/news/square-enix-summons-a-ff-lawsuit/a-20071211112630656048/g-2006011121821369029 Korean music video forced to pay for plagiarizing Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children news Dec 11, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps2/f/world-of-final-fantasy/a-20070611113318731029/g-2006011121821369029 It's a way of life - deal with it feature Jun 11, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps2/News-39154.aspx Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XII International: Zodiac Job System will be playable during Square Enix Party 2007 tonight.
