Siliconera discovered new Square Enix trademark registrations on both the European and US trademark databases for something called "The After Years." While it could be anything, this title is extremely similar to the subtitle of the Final Fantasy IV sequel for cell phones, Final Fantasy IV: The After, and could signify an upcoming release of the game outside of Japan. We last heard vague rumors about an international release for The After back in September.

Siliconera points out that a similar registration for Crystal Defenders predated the US iPhone adaptation of that mobile game, and that since then, a WiiWare version has been released, and PSN and XBLA versions announced. The After, as well, could be ported to a more US-friendly platform. Or, of course, this trademark could be for something else entirely.

It most likely seems to be FFIV: The After, although as said, it could be anything. The question is if it is FFIV: The After, then what will it be released on? Will they do what they did with Crystal Defenders and release it on WiiWare, XBLA and PSN?

Cellphones.. *sigh*

Why not a bigger game and on the DS, eh SE?

I'd buy a FFIV sequel. I just hope it's not just for cell phones. Ipod Touch maybe?

maybe fo xbla :)

Ipod Touch & Iphone most likely. Though PSN, Wiiware, XBLA is a possibility as well since SE said that more downloadables titles will be coming. That still makes me hope for a Before Crisis: FFVII release.
