I thought it said Eyepatch controller...
They're ignoring something colourful that Newton discovered about refracted light, plus their fluid simulation might benefit from some water tension (I think, because water isn't blended spheres). Still very nice.
Fire Embled gets degayed? That's a bit dull.

*Wada.... You must make an MMO...* (I'm playing the fortune teller right now.)
*But our company is in the business of storytelling! We can't do those!*
*Trust me Wada... It will be an MMO, on the Wii*
*But the Wii's demographic probably doesn't even know what an MMO is! And MMOs are very expensive!*
*You want me to leave?*
*No, but...*
*My son says it should be a Dragon Quest ...
Would be cool if there were 10 launch titles and tomorrow a wholly different developer would tweet "9 days!" etc. I should do marketing.
I was ready to make some jokes about Square-Enix going on to sell crack after their release of FF:ATB but I better watch what I say.

... Yeah, you have to be a proper Faust if this is your approach.
Does this type of businessman, the one who keeps making products that you couldn't possibly sell with a straight face, never stop to think what his mom would say?
Ya ok so these are researchers, not businessmen, but that mostly just adds to the weirdness. There is a similar trend ...
17 hours in and I only just got alchemy. Can't wait to see the first speedruns of this game in a couple of years––the players will need medical supervision.
Why on earth does this man think he invented storytelling in games? That's the dumbest thing I've come across since I heard you can patent geometry. Oh no wait, one of the Final Fantasy devs thinks he invented cutscenes, we have a tie.
New paradigms my deluded arse.
When you meet someone in Hollywood, you get the urge to look behind their backs and see if they extend all the way round, Wodehouse said. In games I get the urge to swing the camera round in front of the main character to see whether it has a face.
Call me 100% correct but I think making the protagonist fallible and capable of feeling emotions might benefit the story.
...Of course, at the cost of alienating players with no self-respect whatsoever, but do ...
You ought to have seen the price on Amazon UK skyrocket. 36 GBP when nobody cared, pre orders sold it out one day before launch --> 40 GBP, launch day --> 48 GBP, now it's at 60 GBP. Wizard's edition goes at 140 flippin pounds.
Given that the development of Versus and the Luminous engine were intertwined that may be a tempting transition for Square.
(Though by then they might've turned Noctis into Jesus in an appeal to Westerners.)
How surprising, another teacher who thinks he figured out kids.
Go play some older FFs and see if they're all just as bad as the recent ones. Then go play FF:ATB and weep.
Why not realize that people aren't cattle but instead distinct persons, capable of discretion and forming real, substantiated opinions? That's a lot easier than pretending that Square(-Enix) is incapable of shark jumping.
Ah ... the contrarian backlash, this one was long a-coming. There goes the fun of ouer collaborative rooting for classic JRPGs, let's make way for the stiff-necked reviewers who let the hype shoo them in the other direction, because something that's popular can't be good, right? Right?
That is utterly pathetic.
I'm guessing they're not going to use actual LCDs but their LED-in-fabric technology. http://www.lumalive.com/
Now explain the jaw-dropping part.
That WiiBike thing would be freaking hilarious.
Because Versus is a side project, which means it doesn't have to be mainstream nor appeal to imaginary markets, i.e. do what all preceding FFs did.
(edit: all FFs preceding XI)
