As you may know, PlayOnline, Tetra Master and FINAL FANTASY XI have recently been released in North America and are now potentially on their way to Europe.
Bringing PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI to Europe will involve a great deal of testing to ensure the quality you’ve come to expect from Square Enix Europe titles.
