Square Enix has announced that unknown parties has gained unauthorized access to a server related to Square Enix Members and therefore they have taken down the service in Japan and North America. Europe is not affected by the hack.

They said that it might take a few days to look into the matter and fix the security holes.

You can read the full statement below.

We have reason to believe that unknown parties may have gained unauthorized access to a particular Square Enix server related to the free SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service offered in North America and Japan. In response, Square Enix, Inc. has temporarily suspended operation of the SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service starting at 10PM (PST) on December 12, 2011.

We are assessing the full extent of this potential breach to determine what data, if any, was compromised and will provide more details as soon as possible. While some personal information may have been accessed, we can confirm that there is no possibility of any credit card information leak from this incident, since the server in question stores no credit card information. We estimate that the suspension will continue for a few days until we complete our investigation and counter-measures. We will update you as we learn more.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the temporary suspension of the SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service. We take data security extremely seriously and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused our customers and fans. We appreciate your patience and support at this time.

Under the lead of producer Ryutaro Ichimura, Square Enix is developing a new (unique) action RPG which will be using the Unreal Engine 3. The only thing we know is that the game will not be a new Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts game and that they are currently looking for staff members.

Here's a scan from the latest Famitsu magazine showing some artwork from the game.

Final Fantasy XIV

Yoichi Wada, President and CEO of Square Enix, has made an announcement regarding Final Fantasy XIV.

Allow me to thank you all for your continued interest in FINAL FANTASY XIV.

One year has passed since the game’s release, and despite the disappointment surrounding its launch, we have received a wealth of support from you, the players. Your encouraging words and continued loyalty have been a source of immeasurable inspiration to everyone involved with FINAL FANTASY XIV’s development.

In the ten months since the FINAL FANTASY XIV team’s restructuring, we have put forth the utmost effort into not only improving the game’s existing features, but also creating a concrete plan to outline the game’s new direction. Today, I am pleased to announce we can confidently present that plan to our customers. We fully realize this is but a single step towards our ultimate goal, and that to meet the high standards set in the plan, more time is required. In the meantime, however, we will not waver in our commitment to bringing players exciting and engaging content, even as the game moves through its evolution.

With this, it is my hope that we will continue to receive your support as we will need to bring the unbilled period to a close between late November and early December 2011, and introduce our subscription-based billing system. I appreciate that this decision will not be popular, but it is a necessary step in building upon the foundation our fans and development team have made together and to realize the full potential of FINAL FANTASY XIV.

The team will stop short of nothing as they move towards realizing the new FINAL FANTASY XIV, and as they do so, I humbly ask for both your understanding and support.


President and CEO, Yoichi Wada

This concludes that the you have to pay a monthly fee starting from end November, begin December. All subscriptions that are automatically renewed are temporary suspended, so that you have to renew it if you want to continue playing the game.
