Thanks to the Gaming-Age messageboard conglomerate for pointing out a new investor relations press conference (Japanese text only) held today in Japan by SquareEnix. They announced that Final Fantasy XII is intended to ship within the fiscal year in Japan - still no screenshots or details, though. Kingdom Hearts 2 is still having its license negotiated, so won't be out soon. But 9 titles should ship in the US from SquareEnix this fiscal year, including Final Fantasy X-2, which has already sold almost 2 million copies in Japan, and a mystery, solitary Playstation 1 title (another Final Fantasy remake?) The company also gave sales figures for their online title, Final Fantasy XI, which has sold 340,000 copies, and currently has 250,000 subscribers, even ahead of its Western release.
