INB4: "Nomura is too busy working to show up."

...

Just kidding. This is great and its nice to see a playful side from developers in general.

 

[kromeo]

What's the staff supposed to be? I don't remember that in the game

 

[sixteen-bit]

that's one uncanny looking rabite

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I wonder if Ishii hid a Noot doll somewhere there.

 

[Eylos]

One hope
Next project:
Seiken densetsu 3 in the west

Actually Nomura is shy. People who got pictures with him at D23 couldn't post em online. Not surprising he wouldn't jump on this.

Nomura is SHY? I thought the guy was a smart edgelord. Now I hear that he's SHY as well??? Lol wow. Thats interesting.

It's Popoi's staff:

He's basically Squall from FFVIII.

 

[SilverLunar]

They should stab it

No, not like this. SNES version or bust.

 

[Stencil]

they should get back to work on localizing SD3/SoM2

Spoiler

/s, it makes me happy to see them playful with that SUPER awesome Rabite statue!

 

[SinCityAssassin]

What's a Noot doll

It's a little penguin fella from Ever Oasis. Iscii works at Grezzo now with Nintendo.

Oh ok, haven't played that game yet.

 

[Yohane]

I'm glad my Tensai is present.

 

[Akai]

I'm glad that Square-Enix has so much respect for this franchise that they are willing to localize all forms of it outside Japa......oh...

 

[WarRock]

Ganging up against a poor rabite, tsc tsc. I want to see them go 1v1 against the black rabite.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Those things can be dangerous they shouldn't mess around like that

 

[Neo-Ryudo]

is interesting to see Tanaka there, i know after he left the FFXIV Dev team he then left FFXI's under .. Health Reasons .... but apart from a few odd tweets to a few of the FFXIV dev team we haven't really heard much from him.

he was working with a Mobile company i believe? Gungho online.

Yeah, we haven't seen him in a while. I'm just glad he isn't bed-ridden in a hospital or something.

According to his own words, he has a "major illness".

 

[Neo-Ryudo]

Same i know alot of people seem to hate him cause of FFXIV fiasco, but he worked on some pretty amazing games.

I asked Kikuta to steal the Rabite for me on FB and he hearted it, so I'm going to assume that will be arriving in a few days.

 

[inner-G]

This one is my favorite:

 

[jiggle]

Where's Ito

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Put more Rabites up if it'll bring the dream team back together to give me Chrono Trigger 3.

 

[preta]

This one is my favorite:

Fuuuuck, this one got me.

is this going to be a new GAF meme

 

[quesalupa]

Tabata looks tired af.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Where's Ito

 

[Lindsay]

Fun pics especially since I love Rabites! For me they're one of the original cute videogame baddies!

 

[dragonzdogma]

is there any new game play or images of this game?

 

[inner-G]

is there any new game play or images of this game?

Not that I know of

 

[Parsnip]

Whoa! What's a Rabite doing in a place like this?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Whoa! What's a Rabite doing in a place like this?

I have bad news for you...

On a serious side, I love this, Rabite's are adorable as hell and it's great they get recognition together with the developers

A localised Seiken Densetsu collection should have been a no-brainer

 

[LordOfLore]

Check the front page.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

He's basically Squall from FFVIII.

...whatever.

 

[Famassu]

Kikuta should do more JRPG work. His Secret of Mana OST is still one of the best ever.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Feels.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Kikuta should do more JRPG work. His Secret of Mana OST is still one of the best ever.

Or at the very least his music should be used more often in video game concerts. Cologne Symphonic Fantasies was magical.

 

[Kandinsky]

Glad to see Tanaka looking healthy :,)

I think the last time I heard something from Kikuta that was 'new' was all the way back in the PSX days.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO7nSb9evnQ

He's doing indie games now such as Lab Zero Games' Indivisible.

 

[Mael]

It's really great to see this.
I have so many questions to all of them!
Like when are they all going to work on the same project?
When are we getting SD3 in anything but Japanese?
What is Kawazu doing at the moment?
And so much more!

 

[Ushojax]

Looking at that famous artwork in the background is just depressing compared to the axtual remake. They couldn't have messed it up more if they tried.
