Liv: How do you think FFXII will do over here? I forget when it's being released...
Jerry: I think it'll sell like hotcakes, because A: it's different, and B: it's Final Fantasy, which is amusing.
Donovan: I'm afraid so.
Matt: I think so too
Jesus: It'll sell like hotcakes, and fanboys will complain about it for years.
Jesus: Like every other post-VI FF.
Jerry: Yes.
Kyle: Did anyone play the FFXII demo?
Matt: Yes - the demo was disappointing, the one I played, anyway.
Kyle: I hated the battle system.
Matt: Believe it or not, by the end of Day Two, there were almost no lineups whatsoever for FFXII at all.
Jesus: Really?
Donovan: Wow. O_o
Gabriel: Well, I need the final game to decide.
Matt: There were several empty stations that I walked by more than once.
Matt: Yeah, me too. I can't pass judgment yet, but I walked through the demo.
Jesus: That's not a good sign.
* XeroZohar didn't play that... but also didn't know there weren't any lines. ;_;
Matt: I could have gotten through it without pressing a single button other than the control stick.
Kyle: My expectations aren't very high for FF12.
Jesus: I'm not going to either, but noninteractive battles don't sound good.
Jerry: I still call it an overpowered demo, and will wait for the full game.
Matt: I think so too, though I hate to be disappointed by demo after demo.
Kyle: It's a shame.. but Famitsu gave it a perfect score.
Jesus: Famitsu gave a great score to DQ7.
Jesus: I don't hold much stock in their opinion.
Kyle: I haven't played a DQ game yet.
Gabriel: I rarely belive reviews anyway.
Matt: I'm only holding hopes that a few good reviews are reliable, and what?!
Matt: GO PLAY!! :P
Jesus: 8 is awesome, but stay far away from 7.
Kyle: Lol, I'm broke at the moment.
Matt: ^^;; 7 wasn't all bad.
Jesus: Yes, yes it was.
Donovan: 8 just had a price drop.
Matt: But anyway, I know a good many fans of the game.
Matt: Besides, DQ7 is definitely not up for debate here :P
Jesus: Plodding, boring, uninteresting characters, dated gameplay...
Jerry: What were we talking about again? Oh, FFXII.
Kyle: Was the demo for DQ8 crappy compared to the game? 'Cuz the demo I played wasn't anything special for me.
Donovan: I didn't like the DQ8 demo, but I loved the game.
Matt: Hmmm... I thought the demo was a bit simplistic, yeah, because you don't have time to get into any of the skill system, etc.
Kyle: Ahh I see.
Kyle: I didn't even know there were voices either.
Kyle: That was a letdown.
Jesus: And I'm sure ET has its fans too.
Gabriel: ET for atari?
Jesus: :)
Gabriel: Atari ET: The grand daddy of horrid movie license games.
Matt: Anyway... E3!
Matt: XII seems very chaotic to me.
Jesus: That's the impression.
Gabriel: I like Chaos.
Kyle: Oh! In the FF12 demo... any English voices?
Matt: Like, you can try manipulating character actions, but all you see is this LSJG:WEIJGWE...
Jesus: There's always a but.
Matt: And then enemy the enemy is defeated.
Jesus: Okay...
Jesus: That made no sense to me.
Matt: Hahaha.
Jerry: Overpowered...must be.
Matt: Well, your allies just leap in and do everything immediately, and it's very difficult to follow battles.
Jesus: That's hardly an excuse.
Jesus: Even with that old FF8 demo, I had to do stuff.
Jerry: Darn you E3 demos with your overpoweredness! *shakes fist*
Kyle: I'm assuming the FF12 demo had no English voices, lol.
Matt: I didn't have any voices in my demo, sorry.
Kyle: Wow.
Kyle: I bet it was too loud anyways.
Matt: Yeah, it was extremely difficult to hear anything in there.
Jerry: Very VERY loud.
Jesus: Too close to NCSoft's booth? :P
Jerry: Hahahaha.
Kyle: They should put headphones at the demo places.
Matt: Heh heh.
Matt: Well, some booths actually did have headphones.
Kyle: That's nice.
Matt: Enchanted Arms for the 360 offered headphones.
Jesus: I was about to say, has ANYONE heard the English VAs?
Gabriel: Nope.
Donovan: Nope.
Liv: Okay, everybody start asking their final questions! We're gonna start wrapping it up.
Jerry: what's the airspeed of an unladen swallow!
Kyle: Was that good?
Jerry: Er, -! +?
Kyle: Enchanted Arms?
Matt: What is WITH that?
Matt: Haha, yeah, it was interesting.
Jesus: Formerly [eM] -eNCHANT aRM-.
Jerry: Enchanted Arms looked cool.
Matt: The first really... potentially meaty-looking RPG for the 360.
Jesus: Aside from Effect.
Donovan: Was Children of Mana at E3?
Jerry: Children of Mana~! Now THAT was a good demo.
Matt: And yes, Children of Mana looks like lots of fun.
Liv: I have Children of Mana!
Liv: It's really quite enjoyable.
Jerry: It was.
Kyle: The battle system didn't look all that good, but the cinematics looked REALLY nice, from trailers I've seen at least.
Matt: Very traditional, but with elements from Sword of Mana.
Matt: Um, the battle system was actually fairly enjoyable to me.
Jerry: To me, it felt like Secret [of Mana] improved.
Donovan: Yay!
Jesus: Isn't SE going to whore out World of Mana too?
Matt: World of Mana looks beautiful.
Jerry: Which is surprising to me.
Kyle: That's good to hear.
Gabriel: Okay.
Liv: I'm excited for World of Mana.
Donovan: Me too!
Jerry: How do you have Children of Mana, Liv?
Liv: I have it imported.
Jerry: Is it out in Japan already and I missed it?
Jerry: Ahhhh.
Liv: Yeah, lol.
Kyle: I have another reason to get a 360, lol.
Jesus: It's a great system.
Jesus: Come to think of it, what other RPGs were announced for PS3?
Jesus: All I've heard is FFXIII...
Matt: FFXIII, and that is all... I believe.
Matt: Yeah.
Kyle: Fabula Nova Crystallis is all.
Gabriel: MGS.
Gabriel: Guns of the Patriots
Gabriel: Not an RPG, but amazing nonetheless.
Jesus: Oh yeah, FFVsXIII.
Kyle: Yeah.
Kyle: Agito is for the cell phone though.
Matt: Compare Nintendo, with many more RPG titles at LAUNCH!
Jesus: But not fighting.
Jesus: CHANGE!
Matt: It's a really exciting concept
Jerry: MGS4 was a video. A nice video, but just a video.
* Jerryr wants freaking gamplay.
Donovan: LOL
Jesus: Indeed.
Matt: Amen.
Jesus: Though it was nice of Solid Snake to do his impression of Sony for us.
Kyle: LOL!
Gabriel: But if that's representative of actual gameplay, it's still amazing.
Kyle: You mean at the end of the trailer??
Jesus: Yeah.
Matt: With Dragon Quest Swords, a Fire Emblem game, and Zelda, there are more RPGs that I want to play for the Wii than for the PS3 at this time.
Matt: Unless of course, FFXIII comes out with 6 more versions.
Jesus: Which is entirely possible.
Kyle: Lol..
Kyle: OH! Was there a playable demo of Twilight Princess?
Matt: Oh yes.
Jerry: Yes.
Jerry: YES!
Matt: There was. ^^
Liv: Okay! One last question!
Kyle: Anyone play?
Jerry: I played it - it rocked. I want more...
Matt: It was quite something.
Kyle: Nice.
Jerry: MORE~!!
Kyle: This is good.
Jesus: I saw a playthrough of it on Gamevideos.
Jesus: The cursor was bouncing around like mad...
Matt: I stood in line for 4.5 hours for it, and yeah... the controls will be a bit to get used to.
Kyle: Wow.
Matt: BUT-! It did play amazingly. I was very impressed.
Jerry: I cut to the front of the line~!
Kyle: XD
Matt: WHAT!?
Jesus: Hehe.
Liv: Ahahaha.
Jerry: Media badge for the win! <3
Matt: I tried three times to do that!
Jerry: + appointment
Matt: I HAD ONE TOO!!!
Matt: Ugh... true.
Matt: I was on the plane at that point.
Kyle: How long do you get to play for?
Matt: The demo was about 10 minutes long.
Jesus: Do you think it'll play better than the Cube version though?
Jesus: It WAS designed as a Cube game.
Matt: It's hard to say - the Cube version wasn't playable.
Gabriel: Can I have a media badge for next year?
Jerry: Who knows.
Kyle: Oh.
Kyle: Twilight Princess would be out already if they hadn't decided to throw in the Wii stuff.
Jerry: I got used to it really quickly.
Jerry: it was so intuitive after I realized I didn't need to move my whole arm. ^^;
Jesus: I don't know, seeing some of the people play with the controller, it looked to work best for simpler games.
Matt: It does for people who aren't used to it.
Matt: It's not the best game to play with the Wii controller for the very first time.
Matt: I'd say that the simpler games would be great "exercises" to warm people up.
Kyle: Someone said it was like getting used to a new mouse.
Liv: Okaaaaaaaaay... annnnnd... we're done!!!!!
Kyle: I think it was a good choice of action.
Jerry: Nah, the controls made perfect sense to me.
Jesus: Well you're special like that. :)
Jerry: Just sayin'.
Matt: Hahaha.
Liv: We're.... done!
