According to a recent trademark filed by Square Enix, it looks like you may be able to remix your own music from Square Enix games like Final Fantasy XIII, soon.
The game publisher submitted trademark applications, which cover a wide variety of goods and services, both in Europe (Application number: 010823672 – .PDF) and the United States (Serial Number: 85611715) for “Solo Remix”.
The European trademark filing offers more details about the upcoming product. And it appears Solo Remix may be more than just an app that involves music.
