Square Enix Recruiting Staff For A New Studio That Will Focus On Console RPGs

Square Enix are currently looking to recruit staff who will be part of the core members for a new studio that will focus on RPGs for consoles. Inside Games shares more details about the recruitment page that was recently put up by Square Enix.

 

According to the report, Square Enix are gathering the best people to put together a team of core members that will be in charge of developing a new RPG title for consoles.

 

At the moment, Square are looking for directors [battle and event], planners [lead and battle], programmers and lead programmers, marketing directors, and various designers ranging from technical artists to menu designers.

 

On the recruitment page, there’s a message that reads: “We went through all kinds of adventures back when we were children. Now that we’re adults, what kind of new stories can we come up with?”

 

This message is followed by information stating that they’re currently recruiting core staff members for a brand new studio that will specialize in RPGs. To be more specific, a project featuring a gathering of an elite team to develop a completely new RPG geared for consoles.

 

While they don’t share much more about what the game will be about, they’re looking for staff with experience in their respective fields, and the deadline is September 30, 2014.

Hmm, wonder what they are being put together to make??



Final Fantasy XIII-2.5



Thanks to that sweet sweet Microsoft money.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Really hoping SQEX let Tabata make Type-1 for PS4 (and XBO I guess). I have no idea how the dev teams are split right now at SQEX but I doubt the team remaking Type-0 for PS4/XBO are big enough to continue making new console games.

People trying to hard to see something bad on this.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

I just wish they'd put some games on seventh gen consoles, but I know that won't be the case.



Let's see what these guys can do...
