Rapture, a Flagship Title

Some more news came out recently relating to Square Enix's address to investors last month.  According to Kotaku, Square Enix's president, Yoichi Wada, stated that while Final Fantasy XI was indeed profitable for the company, it would not last forever.  He continued by informing investors that they are currently developing a post-FFXI flagship title.  In my opinion, this leaves little doubt that Rapture will be a feature rich and dynamic title, rather than a casual/free MMO, in an attempt to recapture profits for their online gaming division.

If you haven't seen it yet:

"Contrary to what we were originally told, there will be a Square Enix press conference after all, at 11a.m on the Wednesday of the show. This will be a portal for selected media to learn more about one of Square Enix’s currently unannounced games, which we can reveal is an MMO codenamed Rapture, and set for release on PS3 and PC. The game is expected to be unveiled at the Sony press conference on the Tuesday. "
