Square Enix is teasing a game with an unlikely partner. Web portal Yahoo! and the video game publisher have an announcement set for May 21.

If that wasn’t surprising enough, the teaser site says it will change Japanese history. Maybe they mean literally? A time traveling Sengoku period game could fit the bill.

In their financial report, Square Enix mentioned moving into network games was one of their goals. A partnership with Yahoo suggests this could be a browser based game or another mobile phone title. Just a couple of days until we find out for sure.

That's only two days away... Then again, they probably won't reveal very much then either, sort of like the countdown for FF Gaiden. =/
 
:hmmm:
Weird... wonder what it could be? I don't see how it will change Japanese History.
 
I know Capcom's Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes will be out I think in Fall (summer for Japan, durr), and it has a large fanbase, so maybe SE is responding with their own crack at history? xD

Although a network game with Yahoo...Whoa, I'm sure that's gonna being heading over seas >_>
 
Oh, other members can see and post in the threads in here :lew: Since someone else posted the news...I should leave it here. :grin:
 
Change Japanese history?!?!?

:mark:

I find it skeptical that a game company has the capability to change the history of a single country, let alone a country like Japan.
 
I think they mean in terms of gaming :wacky:
All being said, without having looked at the announcement of what the game is. Japan seriously needs to start introducing western titles into a decreasing market.
 
Wow this just got me a little excited. What is it exactly and its gonna change Japanese gaming history. Haha we will see about that now wont we :wacky:
