SQUARE ENIX Presents, Live Broadcast E3 Showcase

[Jotacon]

I am very excited, but now that I've seen it in action I want to hear all about the boring stuff. I wanna see menus, I wanna see stats, equipment and leveling up. SQEX can do engaging action RPG combat since I liked Birth by Sleep and Crisis Core a lot and the abilities look interesting so now I wanna see the RPG part. I loved the detail of the little sword slider beside the action menu, it seems to just show what sword you have equipped, but it just looks so sleek. I know I have to wait for the information I want so I'm not going to get hung-up on stats, menus or party-members any time soon.

It was the giant Leviathan that did it for me. 

Oh, god yeah. That thing and Noctis in the water... it was like... WOOSH!

Haha these are the most unintentionally hilarious names.

e: Good god this game is gorgeous. I'll play it just for the visual thrill ride.

Prompto looks like a douche.

You must be new to japanese games.

Prompto looks like a douche.

He looks like a teenage Asian version of Dennis the Menace.
...not a good thing, of course.  That hair of his is a sin on its own right.

They did a really good job of recreating what it looks like when an obviously asian person dyes their hair an extremely fake blond color.

The question is why...

Fixed.

Seriously, Gundam alone is hilarious inept at coming up with names with such gems as Bring Stabbity and Full Frontal (among many others).

I think you answered your own question.

(Or to put it bluntly, its a trope used in Japanese media to indicate a rebellious teenager or a foreigner, depending on how intentionally inept the dye job is. In this case, its most definitely the former.)

Seriously he looked pretty grumpy."

Sounds like Nintendo had to choose between Bravely Default and DQ7 if what I'm hearing is right.


Why would they? Why wouldn't they bring both?

That said, if that's the case they made the right choice. I'd rather have a new RPG than a remake.

[Cyril]

Oh God, that's a horrible decision.  I honestly don't think I could choose one or the other (which is probably why I'm not in a position of authority at Nintendo).  I'd probably pick DQVII if I had to only choose one, because it's almost guaranteed to be the bigger game that I'd spend more time with, even though I've already played the original a few times.

But still. Wow. 

[Aeolus]

And this is why I'm so pissed that Squeenix doesn't bother localizing their own games anymore. :argh:

Ah well, at least I don't have to give Squeenix even more of my money than I haft to (even if the original version is virtually unplayable by today's standards).
