All that aside, we have to admit Square's got us for now. But if we end up jamming our own heads in a toilet and finding a locker to stuff ourselves in, it's on their heads.

Looks good. Never been a fan of MMO's, but I like jRPG style. I just don't like medievel style a la WoW.
I'm still waiting for the Dragon Ball MMO.
PS. I need to go out. But NPD numbers are going to be released later this day. I predict 5 anti-Wii articles and 10 death to gaming "I blame Wii Fit" articles to be published within 4 hours of NPD results.

The only good game released was Shiren the Wanderer sheppy.
And you should not be so proud. Is the second time in almost two years that a PS3 game is on top for one week: Yakuza and now Dragon Ball. And it didnt even reach 100,000.

Meh, I don't care for roguelikes in my RPGs. Never have. Besides, didn't Shin Sangokumusō 5 top the charts during it's release? I could have sworm it did as well as Gundam Musuo...
Regardless, this isn't really something to be proud of. It's tragic so many people gobble up DBZ games still (says the man who owns Dynasty Warriors 6)...

No sheppy...
The week Shin Sangokumusō (Dinasty Warrior) was released, the game on top was Mario Party DS and Dinasty on second.
And the next week was Mario Party DS on top, then Umbrella Chronicles and Dinasty on third.

You know, maybe it's just me and the way I'm used to D&D, but if I'm suddenly freefalling from the sky and a witch is following after, hand stretched out, and I have a sword in my hand... I'm taking her with me. Oblivion may open it's maw, but my job as a warrior is to be sure I'm not swallowed alone...

hmmm... bummer.. i was hoping for an amazing FFXI sucessor (even if it isnt a FF game... whatever they showed on the 360 a few years back would be awesome... is that one still in the works?

Sorry I'm not Bi-curious.

@Shagittarius
Hey now, Shag, Square Enix does not just advertise to the bi-sexual crowd.
Its so elist/dimissive to say such a thing. Did you watch the video? Clearly, they are going for the pedophile crowd as well :P

Watching the trailer made my teeth rot but standard questions apply:
-Who is male and who is female?
-Were there any humans in the trailer?
-Since it's a concerto gate you're sorta like a ticket handler, right?
-Is it going to be like having your retina stabbed by a rainbow?
-Is it so sugary it'll give you diabetes?
-What the fuck?
Squeenix, good luck with this one, I'll personally won't touch it with a 100000000000000000ft pole.

-Who is male and who is female?
Is hard to tell but I think the male is the one with the spiky hair. The male is always the one with the spiky hair.
-Were there any humans in the trailer?
No but I think those are dwarfs or something like dwarfs. They look like very deformed and ugly children but they are actually in their 50's and they don't have a soul that’s why they are so white. The other non-white creatures are exiled from their clan for no being white or having spiky hair but someday they’ll have their revenge and boy is going to be awesome and there is going to be lots of blood too bad that part isn’t included in the game :/
-Since it's a concerto gate you're sorta like a ticket handler, right?
No but you’ll have as much fun as one I mean is a MMO after all.
-Is it going to be like having your retina stabbed by a rainbow?
More like being stabbed in the eye several times by a big box of Crayola while the screen pukes light at your face.
-Is it so sugary it'll give you diabetes?
Well you will die if you eat the Disc.
-What the fuck?
Fornication Under [the] Control/Consent/Command of the King is that? Apparently a very, very Japanese MMO that will sell like pancakes between weeabos and sexually oppressed Japanese gamers but virtually anywhere else because people will be too busy playing Age of Conan.

Hmmm..to me it's coming across as very Breath of Fire(ish) styled, which makes me think it might be alright. I'm definitely curious about it. Judge me if you will, but I like it.

And sorry for spamming but (gasp) TURN BASED BATTLES for a MMO!

A Square Enix game trailer with no gameplay in? Surely not!? :o

Kiddy my ass you saw the way he was rushing her up those stairs, he was trying to get her to the bed chamber for some sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight. Hence why she started to smile, you have to read between the lines, like his little sword cutting down giant mountains. I see your made game square, using sex to sell games.

It is rather cute.
But the environments look outstanding.

That was cool. Love the art style and it seems like a really interesting world to explore. I'd love to see it come to TV as a series...

Looks like it could be fun - wait a minute... an MMO? Take your wares elsewhere, please!
