I like the sound of this. I have a fondness for the Unreal engines and can't wait to see Square titles join the wave of UE3 games on the horizon.

Definitely good news. I wonder what type of games we'll be seeing.

So the days of 3D Characters running around on a 2D background are finally over? (lol i dont care how good it looked they where still using that method)

actually it was the other way around. 2D characters on 3D backgrounds. but don't diss 2D back, in those days it had alot more personality than alot of high-powered games you see today.

Not really. Not in the majority of Square's games anyway

Isometric was a way to give everything pusedo-3d look!
