I'm too much in love with the cat-man race. But I'd definitely watch an LP of someone else playing it. lol

Such an amazing April Fool's. You made my day, SE!

This makes up for all the lame April Fools' jokes I've encountered today.

You know... naughty thing about Ferne is that he is always teasing...
He secretly added some update to the blog:

(PS: For those of you who didn't make it to "package size" without realizing something was slightly fishy, THIS JUST IN: It was all an April Fool's joke!)

SQUARE ENIX Global Official Announcement (Apr. 1)

After much anticipation, SQUARE ENIX (http://www.square-enix.com/), is happy to announce the unveiling of its new MMORPG – RADIATA STORIES II. The new project, previously codenamed, Rapture, is set to launch this summer for Playstation3™, XBOX™, and Windows. Because of the nature of introducing a new massively multiplayer game, and the resources necessary to support such an endeavor, SQUARE ENIX is simultaneously announcing the termination of its current popular MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI. Since 2002 Final Fantasy XI has been a popular title for SQUARE ENIX, and it is with great sadness, mixed with great excitement, that we make this decision. Ultimately, we believe by choosing to support only one MMORPG, we will be able to focus our resources and provide the best in-game support and development for RADIATA STORIES II.

We thank you for your commitment to Final Fantasy XI, and hope to see you in the world of RADIATA STORIES II soon.
