I guess we'll still have to wait a while to see a new, public trailer for Final Fantasy XIII....

Dang, no Second Evolution video or anything? That is the SO I wanna play......

Grr....closed off section :evil: I would like to see another video of Dissidia here soon,showing off more of the characters that will be in it.

Hopefully the closed theater trailers will be leaked! They always get leaked eventually! XPLady_Bahamut

Darn! Hopefully Lady Bahamut is correct and they'll leak anyway. I'm also disappointed about the games that's aren't on the list. Like VS, Last Remants, or FFVII remake, etc. I'm looking forward to seeing the vid on Crystal for Wii.

I'm really not sure what they're trying to do with these closed off videos.. or with anything else they're attempting actually...

I've posted some news on the main page.. with mini interviews.. and I'm not clear on whether they're purposefully making sure FF13 takes longer to create than it should, just to bring out more new games.. or what's going on...

it's also confusing with their release of It's a Wonderful World.. is that actually coming to NA? or will we all have to import it from the PAL regions under it's other title?

I'm kind of starting to feel like they're really messing with their fans... all of these rereleases (FFIV etc.) but we're not even sure if we'll see all of those (Star Ocean, Dragon Quest IV...).. a few new games.. and then the games that they know their fans love (Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy) getting pushed back a bit, with no release date in sight? What's going on SE????

well...I dont really care if they take long with FFXIII. I mean..I'd rather they take long and make a good game and figure out the hardware completely rather than make a crappy rushed game. Or maybe that's just me! :Pqueen_valentine

That's not what I meant Celes... as long as they're working on it to make it perfect I don't care if it takes a long time... but they made it sound like they weren't even working on it so that other games would come out sooner... I don't want them purposefully making the game take longer to develop than it should take to create an amazing game... that's just not fair at all..... :(

It seems as though some of those games may also be playable... or else the videos will just show in depth game play...... my translation skills from French to English aren't as good as they used to be.....

anyway.. I read this HERE

That would make sense. I mean, if their stock keeps rising as they push the games back (like that article pointed out), then it's a win-win situation to release more games before XIII.

crushgoil

If the translation's right (which looks like it to me), then it's cool Dissidia will be playable (according to the update anyway). I'm really hoping the game plays real well. Maybe someone could sneak a youtube playable video :).

well...I dont really care if they take long with FFXIII. I mean..I'd rather they take long and make a good game and figure out the hardware completely rather than make a crappy rushed game. Or maybe that's just me! :Pqueen_valentine

I completely agree but if they take a long time and its still crappy well ill get so mad there will be a letter of well thought out complaints on their desk and i hope you guys will help me write em ;)

I want to see KH videos... :(.

FFIV DS will be playable... Cool!

By the way.. SE's announced a sequel type game to FFIV for mobile phones...

LINK

Hopefully the closed theater trailers will be leaked! They always get leaked eventually! XPLady_Bahamut

And if they do get leaked...there's always YouTube!:P

I guess they'll be leaving us frothing at the mouth and twitching before they have anything tangible for any of the big titles.danmccarthy2

LOL!! No Kidding!!:lol:

Woot....another..mobile phone game....first Parasite Eve 3 now a sequel to FFIV? I know phone games are big in Japan...but what about the rest of the world SE? :lol: We aren't so big on mobile phone games...

Sequel to FFIV!?!? Nooo....and on a mobile phone!? SE...why are you doing this to us...?:cry:

In all seriousness though - where can you go from the ending to FFIV. Seriously, it's a "happily ever after" ending and not much after that. I guess there is Zeromus's last words but honestly.....

AND ON A MOBILE PHONE!? *still can't get over it*

I gotta say, Square - I'm a little upset with you.

The sequel features Cecil's son or grandson or something.. who goes back to the moon... and that's all we've been told....

Still - LAME. >_> I won't be able to play it anyway..

I don't care really, I wouldn't get it even if it did come over here on moblies. I haven't played FFIV anyway!Lady_Bahamut

[QUOTE="Lady_Bahamut"]I don't care really, I wouldn't get it even if it did come over here on moblies. I haven't played FFIV anyway!N8A

I do know that :P But when I found out it was coming out on the DS I decided I'd may as well wait for that. I ain't spending out for the same game twice!!

Yeah, that makes sense. If you won't to play FFIV, it's probably a good idea to wait for the anticipated DS remake.

I played the GBA game on my DS but I think I with still get the DS version just to see what was changed.

I want to play it again anyway:P

I really sucks that the follow-up is only on phones! My phone will play it but the screen is small. Why not the DS or PSP Square!! :cry:

After having Parasite Eve 3 being Mobile exclusive, this same mind boggling question even made Aya Brea have thoughts of suicide!

True but I would need to plug in my phone and get a magnifying glass. The battery only lasts 2 hours or so when actively using it. :(

It would be so much better on the DS or PSP...

Interesting....Is this from Rumour Mill? They tend to be right more than wrong. I've never played a Front Mission game so I don't really care for that, I wish they would've said what they're gonna put on the PS3.

:( Sad news on the FFCC front....I liked the original CC.

Agreed, at least if it comes out on a console, more people will have access to it; i hate this phone gaming thing. I want to get an iphone but it won't be for awhile and in the meantime, what about us gigantic fans that don't have a fancy schmancy phone?!? BOO!

Hyuugas-Shadow

any idea what this PS3 one is?

My first guess would be a new addition to the FFXIII games. A while back I found out that SE filled out a patent for another title in that series called "Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII" (http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78873711&action=Request+Status ). Besides that...your guess is as good as mine.

queen_valentine

Heh, I dont really know if it's from Rumour Mill (I haven't picked up an EGM magazine in a long time). The site just said that EGM reported it, so it could the mag or the people running EGMs website. But if they are right, then I'm real anxious to find out more on the new PS3 title.

queen_valentine

I've only played one of them: Front Mission 3 on the PS. It's a rather good SPRG, but as such the pacing is a little slow. Worth checking out if you can still find it (and have an interest in SRPGs ;) ). :)

And yeah, I agree that the CC delay is bad news. :(

Well I just got my EGM in the mail today and yes, those were from Rumour Mill. The other rumours were (in case you guys are interested):

- Project Gotham 4 Racing creators are working on the next James Bond (which will...err feature a lot of driving. :P)

- EA was working on a now-canned Guitar Hero-inspired action game. It got canned 'cause they're Chicago branch closed down.

- Nintendo cancels a first-party Wii game because the developers insisted on allowing players to customize their cutesy Mii characters. Come on now Nintendo...

Wow...lol, Nice move Nintendo. Um...maybe they should re-consider bringing whatever that game was back, if they havent already.

...I wish I got a chance to play Front Mission 3 fully. I remember playing the demo that came with Vagrant Story, and actually liking it more than VS for a good while. Never got around to picking the game up though...lol, that's oneand onlyPSOne game that got away...

Yea...kind've a d---ish move from them. Rumour Mill said the reason why is I guess they don't like any other companies one-upping them (no pun intended), even if it's their own first party developers. How lame...

Wait, what?!!! lol, that sounds too ridiculous. How can you be self-concious of your own studios?? That's a real smart business strategy. I mean, customizing Miis is a cool idea, but at the cost of a whole game? Why not just create a system update disc or online patch for that feature in the future? Whatever...

New trailer for the Advent Children blu-ray movie. It shows off some of the differences from the dvd and blu-ray in terms of quality. Heh, whether or not you notice them or care, I'll leave up to you all.
