NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SURPRISES
We all know caps lock is cruise control for cool, so it’s reasonable to expect some cool new announcements and surprises as a result.

Whatever the case may be, Falcom fans should keep their eyes open and their ears attuned.
What do you think we’ll see? Let us know in the comments. Or psychically, if you’re particularly talented. For those of you who opt to let your bodies rest rather than stay up late on a Thursday night, rest assured we’ll let you know what you missed.
