E3 09: Square Enix secret press conference live blog photo

Woah! Super secret Square Enix press conference GO!

In an interesting, mysterious move, Square Enix sent private requests out to a very small amount of press last week (only 75 people!), inviting us to join them for a secret press conference to make an exciting new announcement.

There have been rumors about what it could be, but we will all find out the truth in just a few minutes when the press conference gets underway. Come join me after the jump for my live blog of the events, will you? It will be a wonderful time, full of effeminate heroes and ridiculously dramatic summons.

I hope there's more than just FFXIV going on. Like, say... FFVII Remake lawl. Or a Chrono sequel.

Question: Why Final Fantasy and not a generic, new IP?

"because a final fantasy game will sell a million more copies regardless of quality"

I wish they would have put all the new systems, care and attention etc in 13 instead. As I said when they announced it at the Sony conference, Old Republic will be the only MMO I'm playing, unless it is stupidly shit but I just can't see it. It's Bioware and Star Wars....droool

Not even Chad could save that one. Christ even Nintendo wanted to show something. These gues just wanted to wax thier dicks over FF XI-2.

Q: Why do you hate FF VI so much?

I have no interest in an MMO style Final Fantasy game, no matter how pretty it looks. Even the battle system in XII was too MMO for me to ever finish the game.

Chad needs to do more liveblogging!

Chad great friggin job!

btw the most important part of this conference...

12:25
Answer: No word on the Beta yet.
12:25
Question: Will there be a port of FFXI characters to FFXIV?
12:26
Answer: Probably not.
12:26
But, again, that may change depending on the users.
12:27
The Plan Line system is out, but your friend list will transfer over.

Sooooo.... guys, START aSKING FOR IT!

Very interesting. I still don't know if I'd make that FF MMO jump, even for this. Problem is MMO are too bogged down in fantasy stuff. If Square were smart they would have chosen something else like Front Mission for this kind of treatment.

Oh yeah, they did, with Front Mission Online, but it never left japan (stupid major fail). Why not dump that on 360, if FFXIV isn't going on 360?

The only MMO's I'm interested in playing are The Agency, Crime Craft, KOTOR and APB. There needs to be more than fantasy stuff in order to entice us, because WoW has fantasy all locked down.
