Square Enix is reportedly taking legal action against a lone French retailer for allegedly selling pirated Square merchandise. la société SAKURA, the retail store, operates in Paris and online, specializing in Anime/Manga/Japanese gaming merch.

After our initial report last week, the Square Enix teaser page has gotten clearer since we last saw it. It got updated with a dragon the following day, and now a boy can be seen riding the flying beast. Check it out.

Another week full of lawsuits. Poor, beleaguered company Midway came under fire once again, and this time it was from a very unlikely direction: the guy behind the Mortal Kombat movies is suing them in order to "protect his IP rights", which is a better way of saying that he wants to keep milking the MK franchise for as long as possible. Square Enix also got served with a class-action lawsuit for "deceiving" Final Fantasy XI patrons regarding fees. Not everything was bad, though. Read all about 'em after the jump in this week's Warrior recap.

Square Enix isn't the only one with a new teaser site. Capcom Japan has also put one up, so for this week we get to wrack our brains about two different upcoming games. No countdown for the Capcom site, though, but there is a number.

It's teaser site countdown time again, this time Square Enix.com Japan is counting the hours until they reveal more info about their new game. The page features a plain sketch of a simple landscape with only a big number four providing the only solid clue as to what it'll be.

Uh-oh. Square Enix is in trouble. No, they're not pulling out Final Fantasy XIII, though that alone would cause some major problems for them as well. Rather, they're being sued. Yes, Square Enix is being sued with a federal class action, claiming that Square Enix of America has "deceived 100,000 customers by not being upfront about fees and penalties."

As we wait for the Spring 2010 release of Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360), Square Enix unveils a little something for the fans and collectors. Coming soon to select retailers will be collectible Final Fantasy XIII figures featuring the four characters that have already been revealed - Lightning, Snow, Sazh, and Vanilla.

Since Square Enix's official acquisition of Eidos back in May, there've been lots of hoping and speculating surrounding the possibility of the two publishers crossing-over IPs. Here's your answer - in an interview with Gamasutra, the CEOs of both companies reveal: "It's possible."

Square Enix has had to reassure gamers time and time again that neither the PS3 nor the Xbox 360 version of the game will suffer due to limitations set by the other. One of the major contentions that keep coming up is storage space, and recently producer Yoshinori Kitase once again addressed this concern.

You know that everyone's favorite Diamond-Duster is in Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360), and just when you thought that Square Enix will continue giving less and less clothing for the Ice Queen, she's gonna be a Summoner's version of a Harley when you ask her for help. As you've seen from the Ifrit and Shiva artwork, there are two Shivas - a darker one and a whiter one. Apparently, they have names, so move over Magus Sisters, this icy duo will take center stage today.
