Oh my God, it really does. I'm very interested in finding out how this one plays, it looks so fantastic.

I'm so happy right now. Acquire is awesome. Returning to Tenchu, next gen WotS, and now a portable WotS. Sooo Good.

It just says Spike, not Acquire on the portable game though.

I read that as Final Fantasy VII Complete. I thought the remake was finally coming :(. Now I'm horribly dissapointed.

Yeah, but it looks to be a port of WotS1 for the PSP, so it still has old Acquire awesome as part of it.

RIZ-ZOAWD also looks amazing.

WotS3 doesn't look amazing graphically, but the past games weren't good graphically either. It doesn't look as good as Kenzan.

RIZ-ZOAWD is truly WOW-worthy...Plus a game inspired by one of the most classic films of all-time? Please be good!

Please help me with my bad english
Not only RIZ-ZOAWD looks great but the game system caught my interest.

RIZ-ZOAWD looks great, why does the world have to be fully 3D though? I hope the camera doesn't get in the way, it looks like you can move pretty fast. Anybody have any details? Nobou Nakazawa is a planner, that's all I can really figure out.

Are the new Sigma Harmonics scans from Famitsu? It looks good, the battle scenes remind me a lot of FFVIII.

I think they are, not that it really matters, all Japanese Magazine news really goes in the same place. And it does look pretty good, just wish I could figure out what the hell is going on in the game. I still don't understand it at all :lol

Interesting swordskirt or... something.

Square announced that the wanted to support each platform equally. So I doubt ms needed to moneyhat the game. My guess is it's just their way of making it seem like they're showing support for the platform.
Click to expand...

LOL Doubtful, my guess is that Microsoft money hatted them. Sony money hatted them to get FFXIII and FFvXIII.

Holy shit, RIZ-ZOAWD is looking amazing. Looks to be based on "The Wizard of Oz".

Apparently RIZ-ZOAWD is an anagram for WIZARD-OZ.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Sigma and RIZ do look pretty amazing. And its two new IPs as well. Im pretty pleased.
I also approve of card-based and traditional turn-based battles. Moreover, it looks like both games have quite detailed battle animations. Hard to tell purely from the scans tho. Gosh, I hope we'll get some more info soon.

The scan of Famitsu says the composers of RIZ ZOAWD are Michiko Naruke and Hitoshi Sakimoto.

You can add this to OP?

The new Dissidia page looks awesome. Knew Tidus would be there since that FMV showing. Surprised they chose Jecht as the villain though. Too bad no clean scan yet :(

You might laugh at this, but considering all the up-streaming talk lately, I start to believe that companies like S-E just wait till its the right time for the Wii to get the up-market stuff they produce. I'ld guess we get the first games after animal crossing hits so maybe Q1 09 at the earliest. But thats just a stupid quess. Hopefully those are gonna be new IPs as well then, cause Im sick of all the recycling.
And, please dont take this as an incentive for another round of consolewars. Every console will get its fair share of course.

Apart from Seymour, I can't really think who else could be the villian. Sin might be a little bit unbalanced.

If Dissidia does become a franchise, it's going to be difficult to keep up with the equal balance of goodies and baddies from each title. Some FFs have a whole host of suitable candidates (the judges in FFXII, the Turks in VII), but some don't have that many.

I just think they aren't interested in the Wii, like most of the other Japanese [EDIT - or Western, for that matter] third parties.

At least its starting to pick up now with Tenchu 4, Rune Factory etc. Capcom should have something up their sleeves too other than Monster hunter 3.

I rather see them expand into other games, like the 3 main FFs that won't(?) make it in, and side games like FFT, vsXIII etc.

Well, even if they dont want to make money, at some point they will be called to account.
