If you haven't noticed, we've been posting a new behest every week in Everyone's Kingdom; if you gather enough medals, you will be able to change your job class in the kingdom. Also, there'll be an additional perk to unlocking new jobs. Good luck hunting!

Also, please note that the Chocobo's Dungeon Original Soundtrack Sweepstakes entry deadline must remain August 1, 2008.  We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our previous announcement.

DRAGON QUEST IV comic strip #3 is now up on the DQIV features page.

Each DRAGON QUEST game has received comic incarnations in Japan, but this marks the first time the comics have come across the ocean. We've been big fans of the comics for some time, so we fought long and hard to get them onto MEMBERS.

We're about to lose our voices by talking to so many people. And it's only the first full day of the event...

KINGDOM HEARTS PLAY ARTS and the new FINAL FANTASY IV TRADING ARTS MINI SET were really popular.

These are CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- PLAY ARTS, coming soon to our merchandise store!

Saw a lot of KINGDOM HEARTS fans dressed up in their super cool costumes...

And Golbez (who spent six months on this fully hand-made costume) !

Again, if you're at the event, come see us at Booth #5001. See you there!

We're at San Diego Comic Con!

FINAL FANTASY IV is out! If you have played it before, it's definitely worth it to play again. If you've never played it, you should.

To celebrate the launch of FINAL FANTASY IV, we created FINAL FANTASY IV MySpace layouts! The thumbnails don't do justice. You'll see that these layouts are really nice if you actually apply them to your profile pages (mainly because the illustrations are so stunning!).

Also updated today was DRAGON QUEST IV comic strip #2. By the way, these comic strips were created specially for the fans in North America and Europe, and were never released in Japan. So if you're looking for the original Japanese version, stop looking. We hope you're enjoying them.

Speaking of comics... SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS is going to San Diego Comic Con starting tomorrow! If you are going to be there, come visit us at Booth #5001. We'll have goodies! You can find out more about Square Enix's presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con here.

We are releasing so many games these days, it's difficult to keep up with them ourselves. We have introduced two new titles to the Features section of SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS this week, but we haven't forgotten about FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift!

Today we have updated the interview with character designer Ryoma Ito, and added Gria and Seeq job class wallpapers. These updates wrapped up the interview and the series of job class wallpapers, but we're not done with FFTA2. Expect to see more FFTA2 content next week (or even this week... who knows, we're unpredictable).

We opened the features section for FINAL FANTASY FABLES: Chocobo's Dungeon today, with an interview with executive producer Shinji Hashimoto and producer Yuuki Yokoyama. This interview is special because, as stated at the beginning of the interview, there's a romantic phrase hidden inside it!

You can read the interview and collect letters that appear in a different color (as it says in the instructions on the page, this doesn't include the names of Hashimoto and Yokohama that appear in pink and blue, respectively) and create a word (*hint*) from it.

This phrase can be used to unlock two things:

1) the entry form for FINAL FANTASY FABLES: Chocobo's Dungeon Original Soundtrack Sweepstakes, and
2) an extra dungeon in the Wii game!!

The best part is, we'll have another romantic phrase hidden in an upcoming interview...
Stay tuned and happy hunting!

These moogles are just so adorable, if you use one of those wallpapers, you may start adding "kupo" to the end of your sentences without realizing it. Don't say that we didn't warn you, kupo.

So we are busy. We announced our title lineup for E3 today, if you haven't noticed. Lots of new games are coming up and you will definitely hear more about these titles next week. Like how INFINITE UNDISCOVERY is a real-time RPG and you can ride a bear in it. If you think that's shocking, just sit tight.

On a completely unrelated note, we must mention that our member Ando broke WondersDreamer's record on Rydia's Mathemagic Minute last night after we posted, and now stands atop the global ranking with the score of 327670. You guys are all amazing. Keep playing, and make us proud.

We updated Part 3 of FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift interview with the dev team. Also, there's a new interview with FFTA2 character designer Ryoma Ito.

We also added more FFTA2 wallpapers to the vault: the Bangaa job class wallpapers. Moogle jobs are coming up!

We have a new mini game in Game Zone called Rydia's Mathemagic Minute, based on one of the mini-games you can play in the new Nintendo DS version of FINAL FANTASY IV. In the DS game, you play this mini game to train your Whyt. What is Whyt? Visit the official FINAL FANTASY IV web site and find out (in the "Systems" section).

By the way, as you may have noticed, you can see the high scores of Japanese Members alongside the high scores of North American Members on this game's leaderboard. Go on, take on the world (you know, the internet kind).

We forgot to mention yesterday but we made the final update to the official FINAL FANTASY TACTICS A2: Grimoire of the Rift web site. The job class list is now complete! Well, not completely complete, because there are job classes that aren't mentioned on the web site, the special ones held by certain special characters. These you need to find out for yourself as you advance in the game. We tell you, this game is really, really deep... We hope you're all enjoying it.
