The 7th CESA Game Awards took place in Tokyo today recognizing the best games released from April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2003. The decision of who gets what award was decided by the votes of journalists and visitors who went to the Tokyo Game Shows.
Square Enix recieved three awards which included the Grand Prize Award for Final Fantasy XI, the Award of Excellence for Final Fantasy X-2, and the Global Prize Award for Kingdom Hearts.

Final Fantasy XI won the Grand Prize award because it spread more interest towards the use of broadband and the playing of online games. FFXI and another title by Namco called Taiko No Tatsujin: Tatakon de Dodon ga Don won the Grand Prize Awards. The Award of Excellence merits games of the highest quality. Final Fantasy X-2 and 8 other games won this award. The other games included Halo, Zelda the Wind Waker, and many others. Kingdom Hearts recieved the Global Prize Award for a software made in Japan.
Unfortunately, Square Enix did not win in the Future Game Awards category. Maybe next year they will recieve an award for Final Fantasy XII and Kingdom Hearts 2.
