It's not clear if Level5 (Dark Cloud series, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest remakes, White Knight Story, Jeanne d'Arc) will become the next Square Enix yet, but one thing's for sure: they're working in high style.
The Japanese Level5 Web page features a "Company Navigator," which is basically a slideshow of the Level5 offices. I've seen some pretty amazing offices in my day, but Level5's choice of high style decor with otaku-ish accents really hits home. I know that the forthcoming Destructoid Tower and Housing Complex will eventually make all other offices pale in comparison, but we have a bit of a wait for that.
You're guided to various hallways and meeting rooms, and eventually into offices and development areas. From the ping pong tables to the Rozen Maiden figure and the Dragon Quest slime plushie, this place is a nerdy delight.

Damn!
Oh no they didn't.

Who wouldn't want to work in a place where your supervisor was Yoda?
And it ain't remain to be seen--Level 5 IS the next Squaresoft/Enix (you know, before they sucked). I'm calling it right now. You know you're good when a mega-corporation hands you their most valuable franchise like what Squeenix is doing with L5 with Dragon Quest.
Looks like one of those high tech Mafia you only see on Anime or movies like Total Recall ...
But I'm more reminded of the tech firm in the last Phoenix Wright myself...
