Aokage said:It's over. Just got back home.
So the biggest stuff was Star Ocean 4 (platform unknown but confirmed to be a "high-end" came according to the producer. Also tri-Ace developing confirmed) and Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon Wii.
First footage of Crystal Bearers, too, all realtime. Looked amazing -- without a doubt the best visuals on Wii yet.
Last Remnant in motion looks pretty goddamn astounding, if you ask me. Facial animation is fantastic, and the battles are incredibly kinetic and dynamic. Frame rate still a little choppy, but they wanted to stress it was still early in development. The towns were vast and full of life -- think Rabanastre next-gen and you'll have a pretty good idea of what they were all about.
Dissidia, FFIV DS, and the new XIII trailers will be at the actual Party two days from now, so sit tight!
Good stuff, thanks for the report. Can't wait to see Last Remnant in motion. The screens look excellent (to me). SO4 on PS3/360 is hot shit too. Can't wait.

If Chocobo Cave is another mini-game fest, then no, I'm not happpy.
Like I said, I don't care if the wii gets spin-offs. But at very least, let them be quality ones (like Crisis Core is to VII).

Not when PS3/360 get Last Remnant, not when PSP gets Dissidia and SO1&2, IMO.Kintaro said:

It'll really good in Japan going by the previous games. In Japan both Mysterious Dungeons ahve sold over 700k. It might not appeal directly to you, but here a big market out there for those games and that's why its not some throw away title like some acting.
duckroll said:
No, the PSP SO1 and 2 are not by tri-Ace. They didn't say who was doing them, but because they made a big deal about tri-Ace on SO4 I'm quite certain the PSP games are by Tose or something. The did look nice, though.

I am confused at the fact that people like you hate when games are made for different system other than your own.
And i do plan to buy all the FF games for the psp.
Nibelung Valesti said:
get over it, or just buy a ps3 or 360 and stop whining. You act as those Square can make a miracle and port the UE engine to the Wii. ugh.
All system owners should be happy and stop hating on the PSP, it isnt selling like the DS, but it fairing much better than any other non-nintendo handheld.

Nintendo fans will be happy indeed.
Happy to burn down your headquarters.
I'm not happy.

My favorite part was when the Chocobo fell down.

WTF man?
I said that S-E should put more games on DS because they will get better profits. I never once said anything about me preferring this.

People who don't work hourly can't do this.
I think a lot of people are just in awe that Square Enix seems to be favoring systems that, well, aren't performing well at all at the moment. The Wii owns Japan and pretty much the rest of the world, and all they have (outside of games they announced long ago) is a Chocobo game?

Probably not getting SO4, since someone said something about it being on the "high end" or something.
is it just me, or does anyone else think the Last Remnant battle screen looks to take (read 'copy') a lot from the battle system and style of Level 5's PS3 game White Knight Story?

Definitely. The director Itahana said two or three times it was full realtime running on Wii. It was literally 30 seconds long and all cutscene-type fancy camera angle stuff, so I couldn't even begin to speculate on the gameplay. I did come away with the impression that it'll have a much stronger single-player story experience than the original Crystal Chronicles...the main character seemed to be predetermined.
Miniboss1232 said:
Well, I refuse to believe that this is the extent of Square Enix's Wii support. They were probably caught off guard like everyone. Hopefully as the year goes on more projects will be announced.
Great news on FF:CC though. That makes me happy.

And that's the thing. Why would they put it on PS3? It just doesn't make sense.

So Crystal Chronicals for the Wii looks good?
How good? :lol

The whole "caught off guard" shit isn't cutting it anymore. The Wii made a huge splash at E3 a year ago. It started selling like gangbusters 6 months ago. That excuse is done.

Perhaps. This is certainly not always the case. And depending on location, salary pay can still suck.
But whatever. Some people don't want to buy another system. Would you not rather spend that hard earned money on games rather than hardware?
BrodiemanTTR said:
I think its still valid to a certain extent.
Yeah, they had a good E3, but that probably wasn't enough to fundamentally change anything.
And companies probably weren't shocked it sold out during the holiday's- its only in the last few months that the Wii's staying power has really shown itself.
