The image above is what you\ll see if you visit the “Recruit” page at Square Enix Japan’s website And yes, that’s that spiky haired guy with the giant sword from that one game. According to translations from Andriasang, here’s what Square Enix has to say:

At Square Enix, in anticipation of the appearance of next generation platforms, we’ve started development on a new generation game engine for competing beyond the level of the strong developers throughout the world, and are presently seeking a lot of talent.

The company is currently recruiting a variety of programmers with PS3 and Xbox 360 backgrounds as well as programmers with experience in large scale client programming of the type seen in MMOs.
