Ah man. Square-Enix. My love!
If anything were to ever make me take back anything negative I've ever thought about Japan and actually convince me to live here, Square-Enix would be it.
I would so move here and put up with it all just for them... ^_^.

It's the convention center!
Mobile phone games took up a good portion of the convention.So it was basically that and Final Fantasy series.
This lovely phallic symbol is the FF7 Potion. They made a big deal out of it. I'm not sure why. Stupid lack of Japanese skills.
Cosplayers! And there were ppl in the plant and the chocobo suit.So a lot of the place was a "no photos" area. But I definitely saw a lot. There were a lot of stations for playing the latest releases and soon-to-come games... but the lines were so huge I opted not to try. Waking up at 7 AM, I didn't even get to the center until 12:30. And I boarded the trains at 9:20 or so. The convention closed at 5:00PM. Short amount of time, in my opinion, but everything runs on the train's schedules.
So I opted to go to the Mega Theater Program, which was where they were showing all the sneak peeks to upcoming games.
And I was one of the last ones allowed in. Like 4th from the back.
But that was sheer amazement and I'll try to be minimal in my raving about it.
Fistly... Kingdom Hearts 3. We got a revealing of one of the armored guys from the "secret" ending of KH2. And then there was a split screen between him, Sora, and Roxas which only says that they are all connected. My opinion, KH3 will be a story about how Sora came to be such an important person. The prequel, if u may.
Next on my list of happiness... Final Fantasy 13. There are 3 titles being released under the name FF13. That's Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy Agito 13, and Final Fantasy Versus 13.
FF13 looks most interesting, and an interesting note, the thing is already dubbed in English. FF13 stars a female lead who was chosen by the gods to destroy the world which had fallen into a sort of tyranny by the authority's need to maintain control. I think this one may have a bit of politics in it like FF12 too. For PS3.
FF13 Agito... I didn't get a plot, but it has to do with cards, but the battle system is not set like so. I don't get it. But you start out in a school. Where people wear capes. For mobile phone.
FF13 Versus... they quoted Shakespeare. "There's nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." They also said it was a fantasy based on reality. Where this "reality" bit is, I have yet to see. Your main character is a male lead who controls possessed swords. And the scene they showed was of him taking out an army w/ these possessed swords who had come to kill just him. Lots of graphic goodness. And blood, there's something new. For PS3
Then they showed of Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core, the prequel to Final Fantasy 7. This one stars Zak, Cloud's friend and the guy he got his costume from. It goes through how Sephiroth became the big bad guy and stuff and more stuff. For the PSP.
Then more stuff on cell phone games, none of which I remember since I am not in to mobile games (we really don't have them in the US).
Followed by Drissidia, a game they released in honor of their 20th Aniversary. Dissidia is like Mortal Combat, except all the characters are from the Final Fantasy series. And 3D beauty. For PSP.
Final Fantasy Advent Children: Complete. More stuff added in and finalized movie to be released this year on Blu-Ray HD.
The only Nintendo DS game I heard mentioned in there was "It's A Wonderful World" which is set in a completely modelled version of Tokyo. And you can swap outfits. It seemed to be a key feature.
Outside the Mega Theater, a point of interest is the joint project between Nintendo and Square-Enix combining Mario and Dragon Quest. Although I think the final version is like a Mario Party or something. Not sure... too much of a crowd.
And in other news, Dragon Quest: Swords will be released for Nintendo Wii.
Oh, and FF12: International Version is coming out. Seems there are new summons? I can't be sure. I didn't finish FF12.
I feel a strong renewed sense in my love for gaming. Can't believe I left FF12 unfinished back at home :-(.
To play games or do homework? Hehe. I would so move here if it meant I could spend every waking moment with Square. I guess that makes me a fan.

And this? Yeah, this was in the train station, but I stopped and stared for a bit.
