Square-Enix's Tokyo Game Show 2007 Line Up (FFXI Expansion, FFXIII, Last Remnant & Slimes)

I've enjoyed Square and Enix both when they were rival companies (the Dragon Quest vs Final Fantasy fights in class were like Backstreet Boys vs NSYNC vicious back then) so I like to keep an eye out for what they're releasing.

No surprise, it's mostly FF games for the DS and PSP.

Of note to me because I'm a former FFXI player before the economy got crazy is the 4th Expansion アルタナの神兵, or "Altana's Divine Soldiers." I think the Official English name is "Wings of the Goddess" or something. I really enjoyed Vana'diel during my 2 year stint, but when the Scorpion Harness started out at 1.5M, lingered for a month or so at 7M and somehow jumped to 15M, there were problems. I remember at one point, the fuckin' Earth Crystals were going for 5K on the damn AH...and that can't ever be good. My friends that still play say they're now experiencing a DEPRESSION instead of Inflation now that the majority of gil sellers are gone...urrrhh...yeah...

Moving along, FFXIII for the PS3, "Fabula Nova Crystallis." Reading the info it says, "A different hero, a different world view, a different story." We get a heroine this time named Lightning. Here's a screenie of her from Famitsu:



Check this page out for more images of the game (but mostly Lightning): Here

Biotch uses a gunblade looking like hybrid weapon. I hope she's not as lame angst as that pussy Squall.

Now comes "the Last Remnant", an RPG game coming out for both the PS3 and XBOX 360 to be released simultaneously in both the US and JP. Wooo. It kinda looks like FFurrr12.5 and runs on the Unreal 3 Engine. The main character is a sullen looking boy named Rush who...looks like a pussy. Instead of rabbit people like that hot bitch from 12, they have a four armed bat/cat thing and a big headed frog thing that looks like a chibi Thulsa Doom.

And now...ONTO THE BESTEST PART!!

The Square-Enix SMILE SLIME SHOP!! I love you slimes. Believe you me, I will be trying to get one of those slime cell phone straps. Unfortunately, they are not accepting International Orders at the time. BUT IT SHALL BE MINE!



Oh, and they hawk other SE crap too. Like Shinra ID tags and other stuff I don't care about eclipsed by the SMILE SLIMES. Just click on the left hand bar to oggle.
