So should we expect new footage from the PS3 games? I don't know what this "private party" implies (no videos from the event or what?).

 

[jiggle]

I want them all!

cept KH mobile


no remake ; ;

 

[Mets39]

Perhaps FF XIII will make it before DQ9 :lol seriously, why DQ isn't out already ? What are they waiting ?

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

No Dragon Quests Not even VI

Who said they're waiting? The DS is pretty advanced hardware, development takes a long time. It's not easy and simple like the PS3.

Because the DS market is not saturated enough to meet their sales expection?

No dragon quest? What's happening with the game?!

 

[Acosta]

Agito is alive, that means Parasite Eve canned or a project we didn't know about (I am inclined for the second).

It's really weird not seeing DQ 9, I guess that backpedalling from the original design is being costly. We may see FF XIII before DQ, maybe (I really doubt it, but...). DQs are gigantic projects after all.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

There's four months left after August SE...

If DQIX gets nothing before then, you still have time.

Too hopeful?

 

[Aeana]

I wonder what those people who seriously thought Enix was "ruining Square" have to say now.

 

[Mets39]

i'd almost forgot that Square usually wait the system DQ is on is almost died to release it (even though, DQ VIII is an exception)

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Looking at the list again, this show looks like a Square show than an Enix (No Dragon Quest/Tri Ace games).

 

[duckroll]

Agito is alive, that means Parasite Eve canned or a project we didn't know about (I am inclined for the second).

The 3rd Birthday is not only a highlight of the show, but also the 3 in the title of the event. So no, it's not canned either.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Maybe they'll sell DQ9 there, then everywhere else!

Yeah, probably not.

 

[FirewalkR]

Private party, private showings... We want to see the games, SE!!

 

[Mets39]

I also forgot about the Closed Door :lol :lol

 

[Durante]

I wonder what those people who seriously thought Enix was "ruining Square" have to say now.

I'm happy that this seems not to be the case.

I hope we'll get some new FF13 information out of this, and I'm also looking forward to seeing more Sigma Harmonics.

 

[Mechar]

Considering Dragon Quest XI and it´s pressence at this show, I think that Square deffinitely will show something of. I see this event as a warm up before Tokyo Game Show, and that´s where they will have a playable build for the public. And Dragon Quest IX being caned is absolutely ridicilous in my opinion. Square Enix aren´t capable of canceling such a huge project that will when it´s relased, cash in money like nothing else. No doubt it will make more than Fina Fantasy XIII in Japan.

Uhhh... what? DQ9 isn't going to be at this show. And as of the show, it will not have been shown in a whole year.

 

[FabCam]

I'm saying it. FFXIII will be out by Xmas next year in Japan. Wouldn't be surprised if KH3 went to Wii either.

 

[Mechar]

Has Square gone out and said that officially? Do you have a source? If that´s the case, that´s a huge bummer.

I think it's reasonable enough to believe, although I'd wait a bit before speculating and get dissapointed. There's no doubt that the release date will show up at one of the three upcoming events (E3, TGS, DK347234)

 

[Red Scarlet]

Don't worry, Mechar was talking about DQ11 being at the show anyway.

Really? I think there's tons of doubt. If FFXIII isn't coming out this year, there's no reason why a release date would be announced at E3, TGS or DK58639.

 

[Aeana]

If the old hopeful Aeana were still alive, she'd be hoping for a surprise showing of DQ9 at the Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Festival later this month.

But I think SE has finally killed her.

 

[soul]

Well it seems likely that they atleast mention the YEAR the game will be released, just like Star Ocean TLH. That'll be encouraging.

Oh yeah, I think they'll have a year. But with Square Enix, that doesn't mean much. :lol

 

[Olaeh]

After seeing the agenda, my hype for the event dropped way down Maybe there will be surprises?

 

[Jijidasu]

Just reading the actual site, looks like there will be other unannounced products being shown there also, along with demos. This is the focus it seems (obviously). Sucks about it being rather hard to get into, time to bother the contacts!

 

[Barakov]

Another "private, not showing of games people want to see" event of S-E? Color me unsurprised. So S-E has not so magically transformed DQIX into the first high profile Japanese developed handheld vaporware? This gen is full of illogical surprises and bat shit insanity.

They just said it's a special event to showcase new trailers and playable demos before TGS, so it's an invitation only event that you have to sign up for. There's nothing about unannounced projects, although it doesn't rule it out either.

Dissidia and KH DS were already playable at the last Jump Festa event, so demos are not surprising at all.

新作映像発表 - My Japanese isn't perfect so I may be reading this incorrectly but 'shinsaku eizou happyou' - new production accouncement.

That says "Showcasing of brand new trailers".

映像 is not production, it's literally "image" in reference to something shown on a screen.

 

[ThirdEye]

LOL, so no Xbox 360 games are to be shown.

 

[Jijidasu]

Aah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[Jonnyram]

It says the titles on display are listed below. It doesn't seem to leave any possibility of something unannounced turning up.

 

[duckroll]

Yeah, definitely not, but it doesn't say anything to indicate that they'll be announcing anything either. If there are surprises, it'll probably be in the form of trailers, like in the previous S-E Parties.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

I swear I'll cut myself if their Final Fantasy 13 coverage is simply a few seconds of new CG footage.

Begin sharpening the knife.

 

[Zoe]

Finally, something about Dissidia.

So The 3rd Birthday is the PE game? Kinda sticks out.

 

[Negaiido]

Begin sharpening the knife.

shut up?
Can we stop being negative and look on the bright side?

 

[Narcosis]

Another private showing by Square eh?

Awesome, can't wait.
Maybe this time we'll get several more crappy pencil sketches of what some journalist saw in a closed theater trailer because no media is allowed to be viewed by the public, and maybe we'll get even more reports from people who attended that they can't talk about what they saw because of NDAs.

 

[Pureauthor]

What bright side? The chances of FFXIII coming out this year is slim at best, and they've no business hyping up a game so far away from release.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Can we stop being negative and look on the bright side?

I'm not being negative at all, just don't want to see people succumb to hype (and subsequently be disappointed). Like the last private (non-)event.

 

[Negaiido]

Which event do you mean? Sony's playstation day?
We all know Sony can be quite disappointing but we're talking about S-E here, and after the MS rpg event with S-E which was pretty successfull.
Why should this event be different?

 

[Cynar]

dissidia news, yay

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Which event do you mean?

The prior Square Enix private event, it was held after E3 last year? (someone help me out here).

These shows by Square tend to be comprised of the public getting info on only a few select things, mainly alot of handheld games.
As for their major home console releases, like FFXIII, people get all hyped and then the event occurs, all trailers are shown in closed rooms theaters where no electronic devices are allowed to be taken in, all the attendees are pretty much not allowed to talk about what they saw, and maybe 7 months later we finally getthe footage of that trailer only to see it was 20 seconds of something tacked on to the original FFXIII trailer we saw a few years ago at E3.

 

[PuppetMaster]

What do I have to do get in to that "private party"

 

[batbeg]

The prior Square Enix private event, it was held after E3 last year? (someone help me out here).

Last Square-Enix event was laster years Garden Party (before E3, I think, it was in May maybe?). Honestly I don't remember shit from it but that we got a Crystal Bearers trailer... about a week after it ended :lol

But yes, they have public showings like at Jump Festa, don't they? It's just "public" to those who can see it, the media isn't released online or anything.
