[Eteric Rice]

Wonder if they'll be making anymore announcements?

Hopefully they show Wii's CC game. I'm dying to see what it looks like.

[Surreal]

So is the FFXIII stuff going to be shown in a closed theater or are we actually going to see something this time around?

[duckroll]

Most likely the Closed Mega Theatre. The Open Mega Theatre is for stuff actually coming out this year.

[jvalioli]

edit Nevermind. I lost track of time. 2 hours from now is about 9 o clock EST.

[Chris Michael]

Made the thread before I would make it? :lol

Wonder if they'll be making anymore announcements?

Seriously doubt it.

Nothing on FFTA2?

[Death_Born]

So...many...games.....
too bad lots of them are mobile.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Pray few japanese have something else than a crappy mobile camera....going from all those japanese with scanners this is doubtful though.

Really good summary, duckroll. Going to bed soon so I hope you update it for tomorrow :)

[Evlar]

So how is this going to work? Will we get blogger updates like we did during the pre-party conference?

Also I had a much better title for this thread.

[test_account]

Star Ocean 4 eh? Wonder if we'll here more about that :)

[Kintaro]

Good job Ducky. Much appreciated. I'm looking forward to impressions from some of these.

[Kandinsky]

Awesome, i just hope we get to see the new FFXIII trailer :(

[duckroll]

So how is this going to work? Will we get blogger updates like we did during the pre-party conference? Also I had a much better title for this thread.

We might, it doesn't really matter. The event is on all day, and most detailed updates will likely be posted in the evening (Japan time) when people get home and type it up. I doubt it'll be media SILENCE all day though, since this is a public event. Unless it's ****ing boring. :lol

[BrodiemanTTR]

I'm assuming that the second the party starts, media outlets will be able to release the trailer of FFCC Wii they showed the other day? I hope so, my interest is piqued.

[Eteric Rice]

I hope so. I want to see just how far they've pushed the Wii.

[Beysus]

Since Square Enix has had a remake fever the last couple of months, why won't they remake Chrono Trigger or Legend of Mana while they're at it? Those games are better than most Final Fantasy games.

[jj984jj]

Interested in all the DS games, FF:CC-tCC, any news on SO4, and The Last Remnant. Oh and any FNC stuff as well. :D

[disappeared]

I'm really glad I stopped collecting Final Fantasy games last summer. Really glad.

[Snaku]

Most likely the Closed Mega Theatre. The Open Mega Theatre is for stuff actually coming out this year.

Which means we'll never see it. Thanks Squeenix.

[Matix]

Now this is how an *OFFICIAL* thread should be presented, take notes rookies (including myself). So yea, thank ya DR :D :D!!

[Eteric Rice]

Since Square Enix has had a remake fever the last couple of months, why won't they remake Chrono Trigger or Legend of Mana while they're at it? Those games are better than most Final Fantasy games.

Well, from what I understand, the rights to Chrono Trigger is all spread out amongst the team members. So Square really can't remake it.

[duckroll]

Well, from what I understand, the rights to Chrono Trigger is all spread out amongst the team members. So Square really can't remake it.

No, that's not true. Square Enix owns the rights to Chrono Trigger. It's not getting remade for the same reason Xenogears isn't getting remade. Why waste resources when you can sell over 50k copies of FF1 on PSP and over 100k of FFT on PSP? :P

[SOLDIER]

Are the times posted NA or JP time? And is it PST or EST?

[Stumpokapow]

No, that's not true. Square Enix owns the rights to Chrono Trigger. It's not getting remade for the same reason Xenogears isn't getting remade. Why waste resources when you can sell over 50k copies of FF1 on PSP and over 100k of FFT on PSP? :P

Why not farm both out to TOSE or whoever and bank as much profit as possible?

[Snaku]

Why waste resources on FF1&2 and FFT on PSP when they could remake FFVII (on anything) and sell 1.5+ million easily?

[DieH@rd]

OK, thats mean that show is starting @ 3AM CET time!

1 and a half hours from now. Sweet.

[ivysaur12]

FF:CC Wii is going to be playable? Didn't they say it wouldn't be at the press conference?

[chibcicylist]

In two hours? And I was just getting ready to head out!

[Chris Michael]

Why waste resources on FF1&2 and FFT on PSP when they could remake FFVII (on anything) and sell 1.5+ million easily?

it'd sell more on the DS. ;_;

[WickedLaharl]

omg yay at all the final fantasy titles. especially the remakes/ports and mobile phone games



I'M PUMPED!

[Surreal]

Why waste resources on FF1&2 and FFT on PSP when they could remake FFVII (on anything) and sell 1.5+ million easily?

Because that would weaken the Final Fantasy name! God forbid they do that! They probably have something in store for FFVII...

[R0nn]

Hopefully this means I will wake up to lots of screens and trailers and cool announcements tomorrow.

[bud]

In two hours? And I was just getting ready to head out!

never come back plz

[Y2Kev]

never come back plz

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

omg

:lol :lol :lol

[Shouta]

NEED STAR OCEAN MEDIA!

[jvalioli]

FF:CC Wii is going to be playable? Didn't they say it wouldn't be at the press conference?

Yeah, they pulled it from the conference according to IGN. I hope it is still playable at the party, but I'm starting to doubt.

[Snaku]

Because that would weaken the Final Fantasy name! God forbid they do that! They probably have something in store for FFVII...

You sure? We still have a decade of FFXIII to get through. Think they can spare the resources? :lol

[duckroll]

Why not farm both out to TOSE or whoever and bank as much profit as possible?

Because TOSE is probably already working on a 2D FF3 and FF4 for PSP and SO1 and SO2 for PSP and maybe even more! :lol

[joesmokey]

I thought they had a new FFXIII Versus video as well. Not being shown at all?

Edit: Unless the listing includes all FFXIII Versions

[ivysaur12]

Yeah, they pulled it from the conference according to IGN. I hope it is still playable at the party, but I'm starting to doubt.

I do too... It's not on the site though. Where does duckroll get his info from?

[duckroll]

I do too... It's not on the site though. Where does duckroll get his info from?

It was originally reported that it would be playable at the Party. I guess that was a mistake since Watch Impress clarified that only FFCC DS would be playable. I've corrected it. Sorry. :(

[ivysaur12]

It's ok... I wish we could see the video though.

[Snaku]

I wish we could see the video though.

People are gonna be saying that a lot in this thread.

[tnw]

anybody actually going?

[Saoh]

damn it, i'll probably have to browse from my Wii by the time it starts :(:(:(

and Wii has very limited streaming video support ;_;

[Chris Michael]

1 hour left.

[vareon]

Damn, by the time the party starts I'll be having an exam, a freakin' exam on a bright saturday morning. Talk about bad luck :(

[Phantom875]

has it begun? It is 10 am already isnt it

[momolicious]

i doubt theres going to be any big new announcements we havent heard already and we cant even see the new videos of FFXIII and stuff closed behind doors so i predict this to be lackluster
