I don't understand the complaints - this is the break-up thus far:

DS: FF4 Remake
PSP: Final Fantasy Dissidia, Star Ocean 1&2 Remakes
PS3/360 : Last Remnant
WII: Chocobo
PS2: FFXII I


Sounds pretty good to me...

Jeez. With the possible exception of Last Remnant and SO remakes, that's a pretty shitty conference.

Wait.. what?
If they want to make a next-gen. SO that is. Please don't be Wii. :(

since star ocean sells in the millions in america it would make most sense to put it on the american market leader 360:)
If they want to make it for the next-generation consoles they don't have much choice, there is no market for it in Japan. Unless they make it new-gen. :(

Stealth what? It's ****ing reality, wake up and look at it. PS3 has been on the market 6 months now and is performing like shit. S-E has to look overseas to decide what platform to put next-generation games on now and 360 is the currently in the lead. Plus tri-Ace is making a game on the 360 already, they have their own engine to work with. It's makes the most sense to put SO4 on 360, there is nothing hidden about that.

If there's a game people want, they'll buy the machine when the game comes out. And a lot of people will probably want FFXIII. Hence it's not so crazy to assume a large JRPG fanbase will exist on PS3.

Can someone confirm that this is where we will see all the big announcements? Or is that Sat?

In the invitation to US media, they made sure to point out that there will be some things at this event that will not be at the weekend Square Party, and some things at the weekend Square Party that will not be at this event. But I imagine most, if not all, of the big announcements will be here.

I swear, Square still must hate Nintendo or something.

And before people say "wah wah look at the spread of titles!" they never used to spread titles. The console that was going to have the largest userbase got all the games. Now they're trying their very best to make it an even split. I mean, it's not like they spread the games out evenly amongst PS2, GCN and Xbox. But as soon as Nintendo is in the lead, they start spreading titles.

Doesn't make sense.

PS3 is struggling to get to a million units and suddenly it has the RPG fanbase of the PS2? What?

It's inevitable dude. The Wii can't deliver the epicity JRPG developers want and the 360 is irrelevant in Japan. PS3 will be the JRPG powerhouse of this generation.

At least, it better be, that's the reason I bought the damn thing.

FF4 and FF Dissidia? Not everyone's cup of tea, but pretty big announcements...

Times are changing for SE. It'd be foolish for them to ignore the PSP, 360 and Wii completely. I do think it's a bit discomforting to split the FF fanbase, but the spread is good for the company.

That remains to be seen. Wanting FFXIII and buying it are two separate things.

But assuming Tri-Ace is still busy with IU, and it's another Tri-Ace team, I wouldn't be surprised for a multiplatform 360/PS3 release, especially if LR turns out well.

If it's two more hours, I'm glad that I live in Europe where it's actually daytime now. *gets flasback from Sony's E3 conference* "How much longer until it start?"

Wasn't the "put titles on the biggest platform" strategy working?

Lots of people bought PSP for the same reason. Sony's brand name is known for RPGs. S-E is not Sony's lapdog this generation though. I'm not saying games won't come to PS3, most will likely be multi-platform though.

I think the Wii fans are bitching more, Chocobo mysterious dungeon game. :lol

Anyway, I'm happy with what they are bringing to the DS, not sure why people think I said otherwise.

They had some good music playing though. Everything went downhill from there.

Chance for a PS3 exclusive: -5/100

People are a bit stuck in this thinking IMO, SE are big enough that people will buy the platform that a lot of their games come out on. FFXIII will sell a shitload of a systems. So will other big name titles they release.
 
Star Ocean 1 and 2 remakes for PSP, yay! Wolfteam united again in PSP, didn't play SO1 so I hope that one comes sooner! Played SO2 but if its a good remake a la FFIII-FFIV I'm sure I'll give it a try!

Chocobo Wii....em...I'm still waiting the DS one to hit Europe, Square-Enix ¬¬

The Last Remnant isn't supposed to hit Europe I guess, no european character and no simultaneous release :lol

Actually, no. It wouldn't have worked because of the tech difference between Wii and PS3/360. They would have to wait until a leader became apparent before starting development, which would have been ridiculous for a company of that size.
