Square Enix is creeping ever closer to devouring Eidos. Bloomberg.com is reporting that Square Enix’s bid is £84.3 million, roughly $120 million. The site also reports that prior to the announcement of Square Enix’s bid, the going stock price per share in London for Eidos was 14 pence, but after it was commanding 31.75 pence per share. Quite a dramatic surge, but that still falls short of the 32 pence per share Square Enix is offering.

If the Eidos shareholders accept the offer, then Square Enix will own Eidos and all of that company’s intellectual properties. Siliconera reports that 75% of the Eidos shareholders have to accept the offer for it to go through.

So we all should probably start adjusting to the new name. Square Enix Eidos. Hm, nope. Too long. We’re going to have to go with S.E.E. You may be tempted to pronounce it Es-E-E, but just cave in and say “see.” If the deal goes through, that’s probably what all the cool kids will be doing anyways.

Here’s what I want to see first - a Tomb Raider RPG. It could totally work. See, I’ve heard all these great things about the Tomb Raider series, but when I attempted to play one or two of the games, I stunk. A Final Fantasy-style Tomb Raider game would be awesome. Course, it’d probably end up looking a bit like Final Fantasy X-2 or Parasite Eve.

At the very least, it’d be cool to see Lara Croft make an appearance in the next Kingdom Hearts.
