Final Fantasy Dissidia NA trailer

Kotaku just posted this. It's the latest trailer for Final Fantasy Dissidia for the PSP that already came out in Japan and will be out in the summer here in the states and September in Europe. As usual, the trailer only shows one long CG cutscene and no actual gameplay footage. Typical Squeenix.

Some of my friends have already played the Japanese version and they've told me that the game was very text heavy so I decided to hold off downloading buying it until the English version came out.

Awkward moment(in scenario writing) in a beloved old school RPG

I always loved this certain scenario in Final Fantasy IV. Not because it showed the true power of Golbez and how outmatched Cecil and his crew were. And not because it showcased the powerful(and sexy) return of Rydia from the dead(complete with leather, thigh-high fuck-me boots). And it certainly wasn't because it demonstrated the dire circumstances our hero was in for. No. I loved it because a gigantic hand of Golbez appears and takes away the crystal VERY VERY VERY SLOWLY in front of our heroes and they do nothing about it(The hand even takes a ZIG-ZAGGY way towards it!! It didn't even take the shortest distance!). Talk about awkward writing.

Note: Fast forward to 4:10 in the video to watch in horror as Golbez's hand SLOWLY takes away the crystal.

SE launches FF Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers website. Wants to gauge YOUR interest.

Square-Enix launched the official website for their latest Wii game; FFCC:TCB. The site's pretty sparse on featues right now, but there are 2 grayed out options on the site called "It's gonna be a long night" and "Public Spectacle" respectably. From how it looks, it seems these are going to be unlocked based on how many clicks the site gets as evidenced by the "More visits, More movies" text flashing on top of them. So get to clickin' weeaboos!

I wasn't a big fan of FFCC on the gamecube, but I'm willing to give this one a try. Now, if only I can get over my arms tiring out whenever I play a Wii game for more than 10 minutes, I'll be good to go to play this with my friends when it comes out.
