Final Fantasy developers and publishers Square Enix have announced plans to lay off staff, with workers across "nearly all areas" of their Western business arms being affected. More than 100 UK staff are reportedly expected to be affected, with an indeterminate number of US-based workers also reportedly facing a future that's up in the air. The reasoning given for the cuts centres around that depressingly ever-present word nowadays - restructuring - as Square look to cut costs and consolidate their focus around their Japanese development base.
