Square published the game and it is still technically 'theirs', but now the other company runs it. Squenix didn't want to maintain it if it wasn't on PlayOnline (what they use for FF11), so they let someone else do it.

The Japanese version features Norio Wakamoto as the narrator. The English version is guaranteed to be severely lacking just for that reason.

Regardless, I signed up for the beta a couple of weeks ago.
