Tokyo-headquartered developer and publisher Square Enix is building a new studio in Los Angeles (El Segundo) that is working on an action-oriented game based for an original IP.
According to the career section of the Final Fantasy company's U.S. site, it is seeking to fill several positions for the new location, including the roles of Xbox 360 software engineer, product manager, 3D artist, and more.
The studio's job listings advertised on other sites say that it is looking to "to lay the foundation for a solid development team," calling for software engineer applicants with Xbox 360 and Wii development experience.

Square Enix abandonning the PS3??
I have two guesses - 1) they don't plan to develop any western games for the PS3. They'll still have their other studio's but no PS3 games will come from the L.A. studio.
2) They already have the PS3 staff picked out.
