duck, if you keep this up, folder's gonna stop pretending he knows something we don't, and where will we be then?

Alas, without Folder's pseudo-insider knowledge gracing GAF, we are indeed.....

:lol :lol :lol

Have they? I gotta be honest, I haven't been keeping up with the PSP or portable gaming news in general for a long time but now that I bought one of those super sexy PSPs I'm a changed man. It's PSP everything.

So anyway, Final Fantasy VII? Right on.

PSP is Awsome. Awsome is PSP.

It should be clairified that Crisis Core isn't FFVII but an Action RPG spinoff based off the FFVII storyline.

Ok now that we can all agree that GameFAQs forums suck ass, we can now move back on topic.

Make it happen Square. We need our Rabites.

Well they've already confirmed a Seiken Densetsu for DS right? But that recruitment site really seems to be hinting at console levels of quality, I guess. Still, nothing too specific so you never know.

If you read the post I made, it indicates that I've asked and expect to find out tomorrow. But, if whatever the announcement is, is known outside of SE Japan, it might be under embargo so I might not be able to post it here. Becuase the SE rep I spoke to said, "It might be embargoed."

The post I made was in good faith. I'm sorry if it got your back up.
As to why you'd launch your little frothing attack on me... I'm at something of a loss.

what time can we expect the info to leak?

 

[zylo]

is the info leak going to happen today?

 

[Bebpo]

Famitsu info/scan leaks don't happen until about 3-4 hours from now usually. Give it a little time and I'm sure we'll know

 

[zylo]

hopefully it's something worthwhile this time not cell phone games, FF7 spinoffs, romancing saga etc.

When was the last time SE actually made an exciting announcement? :\ I don't have much hope in this one.

yeah that's very true. The last exciting thing from them was probably Radiata Stories.

Damn it, I will be so fucking angry if it's a cell phone game or something FFXI related.

I have high hopes for this :\

What? You aren't excited about Heavy Metal Thunder?

 

[Sho Nuff]

What the jesus!?

 

[Ill Saint]

Hahaha :lol

 

[JackFrost2012]

If that is the announcement, then Square Enix has managed to subvert my already impossibly low expectations.

 

[Andy787]

Looks like it's Grandia 3 for PS2.

Sounds good to me.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Release date for FF7 Snowboarding!

That was part of the last Square-Enix announcement GAF waited for. :lol

It turned out to be...well I still don't know what it turned out to be. But it involves rock music and mechs.

Sorry for the (extremely) late reply. Between being busy, Qwest DSL being on the fritz, and the forums going down, I haven't really had a chance to post until now. :\

Actually, CoP introduced the last of the ideas that they had planned from the start. Zilart introduced most of them, but CoP really finished them off. Anything they add now will be totally new and not conceived at the start of the project, guaranteed.

Well, I kind of meant that maybe they had ideas that were left on the cutting room floor way back when... but when I think about it, it's just not very likely that they'd add those back into the game. If they do add more to it, you're probably right, it would be totally new ideas.

Massive level capped event? Not quite sure what you mean. Is there anything existing you can compare it to?

I basically meant something like Promyvion, though maybe on a larger scale.

Sadly not, but I would have thought the "Welcome back" campaign speaks volumes in that area.

That's pretty much just a fix for the thousands of complaints they've received (re: invalidated registration codes), wrapped up in a nice marketing ploy.

Just being picky, but those two points contradict each other. Merit Points are the exact opposite of multi-job raising. Once you get into MeriPo, raising other jobs isn't such a big deal any more. Thus the middle levels (55-70) are very hard going because of the lack of players.

Merit Points are simply a method to play your maxed job and still make progress. Without this system in place, these jobs would quickly grow stagnant. So yes, more options in this area would be welcome.

Raising other jobs is just another option. Sure, you may have that Level 75 job that you can play for Merit Points, but the option is there to start a Level 1 job, and go through the game experiencing things from a different role... And these options hardly contradict eachother. If anything, I think they compliment eachother, as you're able to switch at any time, experiencing whatever you want. One day you could play for Merit Points, another you could take a low level job through Valkurm.

It's all about options, and that's one of the areas FFXI excels.

I quit because there were not enough people to level with, so the game became a pain (I quit at level 63 late last year).

Ok, I hear a lot of horror stories about 60+ leveling, and I always wonder: why not just play another job? Sure, it doesn't solve the problem, but it seems like a much better alternative to me than dropping the game completely.
