E3 09: Square Enix secret press conference live blog photo

#E3 #Square Enix #top stories

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.

Shane86

Hug Him Chad!

PappaDukes

DO EET! Run up on that stage and bear hug the fuck out of him. ;-)

flabzilla

Booo FF14

Monco Vega

That's cool, I love you Chad!

ParaParaKing

Super secret? This has been on G4TV.com for quite a while.

Professor Pew

:))

RonBurgandy2010

No Aztec language release? Bummer.

BlackFreefall

Final Fantasy XV announced

SakuChan

I LOVE YOU CHAD!

Monodi

Yeah beaners like me do not deserve comprehension, ffff

GameraTheGreat

A new Bushido Blade....well that's my wish.

Video Cognito

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

bahss

Come on... Final Fantasy VI on the DS.... PLEASE!!!

Shane86

where's the megaton announcement?

pd771

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

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

Kris S

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

Tha Meat

I want some info on VS XIII!!!!!

BlackFreefall

Could we get some info on XIII? Please? Like why should I buy it?

manasteel88

I love the side notes.

Monodi

@bahs

Oh god YES

TheCleaningGuy

Chad liveblogging makes me happy.
Chad liveblogging Square-Enix makes me incredibly happy!

Shane86

Final fantasy 14 WAS the announcement, kinda figured

ParaParaKing

Chad you are so amazing. You should be liveblogging all the time and make our lives happier and more entertaining.

Snacks n Candy

Chad, you're such a character. Hahaha.

chanbot

Lame.

Monodi

what a gay conference

JoZo

What was your question Chad?

Gandysampras

Chad is far too adorable

TheCleaningGuy

<3
Best Liveblog EVERRRRR!

SakuChan

That's it...? o_o;

flabzilla

Group hug!

Chad Concelmo

Thanks for following along, guys. That was the weirdest conference EVER! But you guys are amazing, so that's all that matters. :)

Solgrim

Zzzzzzzzz

DumbUser

Definitely a weird conference indeed... but what question were ya going to ask anyways?

bluexy

Nice job Chad! You're the best! :D

Holyetheline

dumb bitches and cell phones

Zagieman

Did you punch that girl afterwards Chad?

Black Nexus

Chad was great, but that conference was..... Useless.

Qraze

well that sucked.

Christ almighty Chad, good thing you aren't a journalist because you suck at it. good thing you're an opinioned editor huh?

JLanphear

If you see her again, wreck that bitch, Chad. DO IT. lol. . .

This conference was lame and answered none of my Final Fantasy XIV questions.

Tactix

Chad liveblogging is AMAZING!

Conan-san

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.

Agent Orange

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!

Crunshii

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!

Cowboy TTop

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.

XanderSan

Fuck yes I need to read any Live Blog Chad does in the future. That was hilarious, and exactly what I'd be reading LB's for. FROWN FACE GO!

loki d20

Purpose of conference? Smack Sony across the face for announcing FFXIV as exclusive.

Midgetsnowman

Typical of sony. theyre so focused on omg beeting microsoft that they spoil game announcements even?

googoogaagaa
