Um, no. Dissida, KH BBS, KH DS, FFXIII, Versus XIII, DQIX all not showing up. All the quality games from S-E are not appearing until the S-E event. Obviously E3 gets the leftovers while S-E's own event is where the quality will be, that's fine as I will just wait a bit longer.

 

 

Don't forget Sigma Harmonics (or Crystal Bearers, I suppose). It does seem odd that Square-Enix would shell out all that cash to get to E3, and then neglect to bring their games with them.

Chrono Trigger playable?

10 Bucks says they have a SNES set-up

I don't think anybody will bet that you are wrong since it was already announced to be an enhanced port and the trailer showed it to be.

Yeah, well, I'm officially skipping E3 since nothing I want to see is going to be there.

Perhaps you should open your mind to new experiences rather than purposefully shutting them out because they don't meet you expectations.

Star ocean, last remnant, and some of the DS games are big time quality. Specially crono trigger.

Im guessing they are showing the 360 games cause well.... why show the 360 stuff in japan hahah. Only thing i dont understand is why not bring some of the psp games over, if they have them ready of course. Psp is big in America too, though i know SE is not a fan of the lack of software sales.

Besides that i see why they dont bring FF 13 and stuff...save it for their event.

 



Owner of all consoles cept DS.....Currently in love with prototype!

probably the start to many disappointments this E3. Seems to have lost its greatness. C'est la vie though....hopefully the other games I want to see there make an appearance.

Chrono Trigger big? Dude, research the past sale numbers for that game and realize that CT is only big among the internet and not the general public. And the PS1 port of that game from Square was less than impressive. Officially not interested.

Last Remnant looks like ass and has a crappy development team. Star Ocean is too early to tell but if it's anything like that crap known as SO3 I give that a massive DO NOT WANT.

Infinite Undiscovery does look mildly interesting but as I don't own a 360 I will need to research that game more to see if it's worth investing in. I can see me just renting a 360, playing it, taking it back unless it's awesome enough for me to want to keep it. At which point I will buy a 360 but it will need to be Valkyrie Profile franchise standard for me to do that.

Chrono trigger sold 2.6 million WW. That is pretty big. While not as big as FF or DQ still considerabely large.

How many of those 2.6mil where Japan sales?

2 million, but why does that matter? Its still very popular. And sold around 600k in the use which was excellent sales back then. Chrono Trigger is thought as the best Jrpg by many(including myself). So no matter how you put it Chrono Trigger is big, and even if it is just an enchanced port people are hyped for it because that means the series is still alive. So you may not be interested, but there are many who are.

Cause Japan doesn't count? What's the difference? Pretty much every good JRPG gets most of it's sales in Japan.

The only series that doesn't turn based RPG wise is Final Fantasy, and well... we all know how the past few final fantasy games have been. (not to great.)
