This is a recruitment ad page. It isn't an announcement for fans. Which is pretty hilarious. They're looking to recruit core staff for the studio, so whatever they're making is probably centuries away.

The job postings are for: Battle Director, Event Director, Lead Planner, Battle Planners, Lead Programmer, Programmers, Marketing Director, Technical Artists, Lead Effects Designer, Lead Animator, Lead 3DCG Character Designer, Lead 3DCG Environment Designer, Lead Menu Designer.

As we can see, they clearly haven't started at all yet. Lol.

They're asking for experience working with Unity.

 

[Frumix]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.
/s

 

[Shizuka]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

And we're done.

 

[monome]

good luck...hearkening back to (super) famicom's days is a bold statement.

go get Matsuno some real meaty work to do.

 

[Rymuth]

I'm cautiously optimistic...

 

[Wishmaster92]

I think this is Good news.

Spoiler

hopefully

 

[Pennywise83]

First game: Emperial Saga for PS4?

 

[stargateheaven]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

oh, man lol.

and going by the picture, i'm guessing this is old-style 2d rpgs?

 

[Musiol]

Good. But I'll hold my horse until they will show anything.

 

[Steroyd]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

Well I can't possibly add more than this.

 

[LOCK]

Good news, now don't take a decade to release a game.

 

[Paracelsus]

But they don't need a new studio to start working on SO5, do they?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah, right. Good luck with that. I'll eat crow though if anything of value comes out of this.

 

[L~A]

Square-Enix + new studio + RPG + console = does not compute.

Well, curious to see what they're going to come up with. Unfortunately, it will be a while before we see anything from that studio.

 

[Negator]

I can't help but get excited. Damn it. When will I ever learn...

 

[V_Ben]

Well, this may well be where the new game announcement will come from at TGS.

 

[ATXAlchemy]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

I was going to say something. I don't think I need to anymore.

 

[HeelPower]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

Yup..This is essentially the reason for the delays.

but now that this studio is open, Development shall begin shortly!

Stay tuned for more info and wait while we assess the best occasion to release more about this title.

 

[Dali]

Probably in charge of porting mobile games to psn, eshop, etc

 

[DNAbro]

Wow that first post


Hopefully this turns out good.

 

[SerTapTap]

Sounds like they might have learned after those Bravely Default sales?

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

So these guys will have something ready in how long?

 

[Nirolak]

Well if none of your current staff can successfully ship one, maybe you can hire a new team that can.

 

[Kyoufu]

So these guys will have something ready in how long?

2 or 3 years. D:

 

[Deku Tree]

Sounds like a step in the right direction, now please re-learn how to make a good RPG.

 

[zeromcd73]

oh, man lol.

and going by the picture, i'm guessing this is old-style 2d rpgs?

The Japanese text: ''For all the adventures we played as children, we can now make new ones as adults.''

 

[flyinpiranha]

Ha, first post.

I ... don't know what to think of this. S-E is famous for announcements that are worthless. At least it's not a mobile phone.

 

[Bear_King]

Anyone think this is in response to their bewilderment that Bravely Default did so well in the West?

Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic, but would love to see more sprite based RPGs.

 

[Rutti]

SE taking steps to right direction.I hope something good comes out of this.

Do you guys think that the Bravely Defaults success had anything to do with this? edit: Bah too slow

Someone page that dude with the dog avatar who lives to defend Square.

[reptilescorpio]

I still fee like the thread title is going to troll me in some way :/


Hoping for the best!

I'd imagine considering how well the PS4 is selling, they wanna get on that shit asap.

That's why Persona 5 is getting a PS4 version, instead of just sticking to the PS3.

 

[Vitanimus]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

Still, I wonder what their focus will be. Probably a B-tier studio to fill gaps in the year I guess.

 

[Goteki_45]

console rpg games

Spoiler

only for Japan

 

[sublimit]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

Beautiful.

 

[semiconscious]

the only thing worse than bravely default'd be bravely default on console ...

 

[weekev]

We have decided it would be fitting for FFXV to be a launch title for the Sony PSXV

Spoiler

it would still miss the launch date

 

[L~A]

Well if none of your current staff can successfully ship one, maybe you can hire a new team that can.

Yeah, I'm simply surprised by this sudden (major) push towards console RPG, as they've been heavily investing towards mobile lately.

That's quite the interesting move, there.

 

[sub_o]

Specialize in porting mobile games to console?

 

[Noble Neckbeard]

My brain refuses to accept this. Consoles? RPGs?

This has to be some kind of cruel joke.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Oh, so FFXV is finally entering development.

One and done.

What kind of address "xn--rpg-l46fv4g868aqu6a" is?

Is it a code for FFXV release date?

Dat first post.

 

[sublimit]

Can't wait for their first game to come out!

Spoiler

In 10 years.

 

[Nirolak]

Well, I mean, it's one new studio that they're presumably hoping can ship games efficiently by not being packed with the people who can't ship games.

It's not quite on the scale of buying another console publisher like Eidos or the failed Tecmo acquisition.

 

[TheChaos0]

Perfect.

So when's their new iOS title is coming out?

 

[Stuart444]

It's Japanese. Click on the link and check the address bar. Japanese test before and after RPG
