Maybe they will have stackable add-ons to add new console functionality (like the GameCube GBA player).

Intrigued by the seemingly FFIX-esque weapon skill system. Are these the typical perks that you equip using AP or whatever in previous game (Like air dodge and stuff like that), or do you learn actual Artes from the weapon?

Hope they fix the targeting and blocking too. I felt like I was constantly holding down triggers only to realize neither the targeting nor the block was engaged. I assume it gets wiped/reset if you defeat whatever enemy you had targeted.

I still think they reanimated Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s corpse, but he came back all wrong.

I want my game journalists just like I want my games: 2 dimensional, positioned slightly left of center, and perpetually trying to reach the far distant right.

Man that stinger is amazing. Waiting on their take on Doubledealer.

I see a bunch of posts suspecting that this has more of a FFXIIIvs style battle system, but I’m thinking this is still the same old ATB turn based system with way more cinematic animations. If it were real-time, why would defend be a menu selection?

ugh... please tell me this is some crappy script that they use to embellish boring gameplay.

Iga, Kojima, and Inafune should start a new studio called Nokami.

Thanks now I cant get that damn carnie-style cardigan’s song out of my head. This is easily one of those top 5/ desert island selections for me.

Just a heads up, BB pricing is tied to the weekly ad, so $20/$16(gcu) for all platforms 4/19-4/25.

I'm kind of surprised that more special editions of the games don't just include custom hard-drive covers.

It's kind of interesting to see how different fan translation teams deal with this kind of issue. The Absolute Zero team essentially shelved their Tales of Hearts DS translation when the Vita localization was announced.

Seems identical to the COD / Bethesda arrangements all of last gen, except Microsoft is on the short end of the stick.

The one gripe I had about the new transformer designs had to do with practicality. All of the moving parts look cool, but it is like a human with their tendons/bones/organs exposed.

I was bummed for the same reason. I was really hoping that sony would announce a vita port/remake for FF Type-0. The cross buy program is awesome, but highlighting a few unique experiences on vita would go a long way.

Square will continue with the DS style re-imagining of classing FFs and unveil trailers for both V & VI for the 3ds

This would be awesome... and long overdue. I always felt they could better emulate the Littlebigplanet style of fan made levels. Hell even tie in (and expand) their sticker system for retail and Virtual Console games to unlock assets in the Mario Maker game. (who doesn't want a Hammer Bros. Mario vs Ridley battle)

Same situation here w/ the wii u. Hopefully X, SMT x Fire Emblem, and some new Metroid will make the purchase worthwhile. Plus right now PS3 is having it's own RPG renaissance leading up to persona 5, lowering the need to jump on a PS4 just yet. The good thing is that whenever that happens there will be a few aging…

If nintendo doesn't already have a 2D style Metroid game in the works
they need to hire him on. Metroid could use some new mechanics like RPG-esque leveling for weapons or recessive skills for different upgrades based off XP spending.
