And I thought Final Fantasy VII was announced too early. Wonder when Square is going to learn better timing to announce things.
If they're just going to wait until TGS to show anything about the game, why did they bother announcing it at E3?
Every year it' s the same song, they split their info and distribute the pieces among each show as evenly as they can : E3, TGS, whatever fancy word Squenix picked for its own show etc ... While it can (and often does) look like they' re spreading themselves too thin it keeps the buzzing alive for a couple months. Personally I was glad to hear about Project Setsuna' s existence. Yosuke Matsuda had already mentioned in interviews that the unexpected success of Bravely Default made them realize there still is a market for old-school RPGs. Yet all of their big titles have looked like KH clones lately (can' t help fearing even the FF VII remake won' t be turn-based anymore). At least now I know his words will be backed by actual games, one "there you go" is worth more than two "I swear you' ll have it someday".
Well, that certainly brought back my childhood right there. Made me think of all the older RPGs I'd played to this point. And the fact that that's what they were aiming for is all the better. Now there just to be no voice acting, or very little to none at least
