"A Henchmen Inventor Tent Unto."
Before reading on, why not try to solve that puzzle for yourself? It's an anagram, which means you can mess the letters about to spell a secret message. Here's a hint: It was posted by Square Enix as a tease for Final Fantasy XIII, meaning it probably has something to do with that game. What's that? "A Chevron Non-nineteenth Mutt?" We suppose that's a pretty good guess, but unfortunately, it's the wrongest thing ever. A Final Fan-site recently had better luck uncovering the message's true meaning: "Announcement Nov Thirteenth."
The nature of this "announcement" is still up in the air, though our money's on an official North American release date for the super-anticipated RPG. Though, considering the speed at which the series is growing now, we wouldn't be surprised if Squeenix went ahead and dropped the Final Fantasy XV bomb on us.

If only they were launching the US version the same date as the Japanese version...
That'd be one hell of an announcement.

At least I don't post my online ID's in a desperate attempt for friends.
Then again, I hardly ever play MP anyway. Notable exceptions are CoD and Halo.

Can you both stop arguing about who comments the most. Compared to some Joystiq users you guys actually comment less than a lot of users. And I don't see why it's bad not to have a life.
No life = MORE VIDEO GAMES!!!

I know this is gonna sound extremely fanboyish, but the reason we aren't getting FF XIII the same date as Japan is because of the Xbox 360 port.

"There is no friends limit on the PS3. So all of my real friends and all of my space friends can be together on the same list. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!"
actually, there is a limit. the limit is 100 people. but sadly enough, all of your real friends and space friends can easily fit in that.

i said real life friends *AND* "space friends". i only have like 6 real life friends on my PSN friends list because the majority (as in all but 7) of the people at my school only have 360s. but combined with "space" friends, i can't keep my friends list at below 100. i have to delete people constantly to fit on "space" friends.

No, more like the ps3 version getting cancelled. That would be far more satisfying to watch here, since there's so many sony fanboys. It would probably be even better than the multiplatform announcement at E3.

We all know this is coming, it's really just a matter of time, aybe not this announcement but somewhere down the line.
Coming from a PS3 owner...That would be awesome.
MS pays Squeenix a bunch to make VS. multiplat.
Squeenix puts that money into developing the game.
Game is better and is released faster.
Like I said Awesome .
