Square Enix announced today that a new director took its functions in the American branch. His name: Mike Fischer. If you are interested in the economy of the video game, you probably heard about him, as his career made him travel since 1997 from the job of marketing director at Namco to online marketing responsible at Microsoft UK, without forgetting his time past at Sega. He replaces John Yamamoto, who will occupy the post of executive counselor.

The album piano of Final Fantasy XIII is available starting today in the CD format in Japan, and on Itunes for the inhabitants of the West. At this occasion, Square Enix announced that its musical branch will organize a concert the 28th August. The pianist Aki Kuroda will be present in the Shinjiku Island room of Tokyo to play the tracks of this new disc, in presence of the compositor Masashi Hamauzu.
