Googleshng - November 7 '02- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time
You know, I can only think of two Brians ever to work here. Both worked
media, and both had Chocobo related IRC nicks. Strange.
Brian: Yeah. Choco reporting for duty. I've been at RPGamer for almost two months now and none of you have ever heard of me! This is my first Q&A guest hosting session, so maybe I'll get a little bit of
publicity from this... or will I? Ahh, it doesn't matter. I crave Tootsie Rolls. I will get some after I'm replying to some of these questions.

You just noticed?

What's the deal about this new game, Final Fantasy 10-2?ÊÊThere is a
zequel to Final Fantasy 10?ÊÊWhen is it coming out, and for what? An
X-Box, PS2, what? Thanx 4 ur time
|
|
Brian:
It's an FFX sequel coming out for PS2. That pretty much sums it up. It seems more like a spin-off than a sequel, seeing how the gameplay will be
different, and Yuna will be dressed like a... uhh.. how can I put this nicely...nevermind. *cringes* No idea on a release date, but Square seems to be pushing
it out pretty fast.
Googleshng:
That seems to sum it up nicely. They're also thinking of making a sequel to FF7. So... this sequel will
be set in the afterlife or something I guess.

Is phantasy star online coming out for the PC or not.ÊÊIt says it is,
but I
cant find it and theres no news on it, is it out on PC yet, will it
ever?ÊÊ
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but its driving me crazy!
Also if PSO is coming out for the PC, will there be a charge like
there is on
the GC?
thanks :D

Brian:
Huh? What's this nonsense? No one ever told me about a PC release for PSO! I mean, the X-Box release isn't even ready yet, so how can they think about
a PC release? Urgh, my head hurts.
Googleshng:
PSO was released for the PC about a year ago, in Japan. There has never been any talk of a stateside
PC release.

Hi, The only info that
I've been able to get on Xenosaga coming to the states was the article
Xenosaga
Localization Confirmed 11/09/02 on RPGamer. Now that was a
year ago, and I was wondering if there has been any recent info on it
coming out here, or was it completly scraped.
Thanks, Jeremy

Brian:
From what I know, the game is still on it's way. You probably won't see too much about it until after Christmas, though I may be mistaken. The game is
currently set for a early 2003 release, so Namco probably has more important games to advertise for the holiday season than the game that will be coming out
after the season ends entirely. *cough* On a personal note, my fanboyish habits will probably renew themselves at the official mention of a release date.
Here's a preview: "WAI WAI!"
Googleshng:
Like I seem to recall saying recently. The only news you ever hear between a game being released in Japan
and it hitting the U.S. is delay announcements. If you aren't hearing any, that's a good thing.

Xtreme Sequels!

Hey there. Maybe this is a stupid question, but the title of
Squaresoft's
Final Fantasy X sequel: Is it pronounced "ten-two", or "Ex-two"? Both
of
them sound bad, but I just wondered. Come to think of it, the idea of
a
Final Fantasy sequel sounds bad, too.
Thanks,
Seth

Brian:
I think it depends. Saying "Final Fantasy Ten Two" would be correct and so would "eff eff ex two" in my opinion. And if you keep on thinking, you'll become
spiteful of the very mention of "Final Fantasy". Don't ask me if that's a good or a bad thing, I'm still debating with myself.
Googleshng:
It's Final Fantasy Ten, not Ex, therefore it would have to be Final Fantasy Ten Two, making it quite possibly
the stupidest and least creative name for a game ever.

A Chrono game that actually exists... sorta.
|
Just wondering something you might be able to answer, or at the very
least pass on. I read the column everyday, and I noticed that someone
posted details regarding possible Chrono Trigger Series additions
yesterday. I also have heard nothing regarding these and am sure you
guys would cover them if they existed.
However, why doesn't RPGamer cover any details on Radical Dreamers?
This game is an actual link between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross,
produced by Squaresoft, and although its more of a storybook RPG
(choose your own adventure) then a traditional RPG I think it should
be covered so more people know of its existence.
FYI - Was released as a series of games for the Super Famicom add-on,
Satellaview. The only two companies to make games for this add-on
where Squaresoft and Nintendo. I'll not place details on that here
though, you could find it easily enough on your own. If someone
responds to me, perhaps I'll post a little bit more on the game or
something, but I don't really want to turn this post into a spoiler. =

Brian:
All that's known on the new Chrono game(to my knowledge) is that it'll be named Chrono Break. The name "Chrono Break" was apparently copyrighted, and people
jumped all over it, saying it'd be a new Chrono game from Square. Chrono Break very well become a game, but I have seen no details released about the game.
This should explain why we don't cover it. It's true we could probably slap it under the "Unknown" section on the Upcoming Games page, but... We don't even
know if it's in production, unlike the "tri-Ace Mystery RPG" that we actually a tidbit or two of information on due to an official annoucment. If we get any
info on Chrono Break, I'm sure it'll be posted on RPGamer quickly. *gives the news team a quick and evil look*
Googleshng:
Excuse me while I channel the spirits of Q&A past and give Brian here a *THWAP*
for misreading your question. Anyway, the reason we don't have any coverage of Radical Dreamers, aside
from appearing via an extremely quirky add-on gimmick, is that it was a text adventure, not an RPG. It's
the same reason that while we cover the MMBN games, we have no screens of Mega Man 2, and no coverage
of Castlevania 3.

Brian:
Well, that's nice to hear. That'll make PS2 importing simpler, I guess.
Googleshng:
See? See? There's something I wasn't sure on, and couldn't verify, and I was right. More evidence that
the universe is against my ever doing fact checking... or something. Oh, and to clarify, that has no
impact whatsoever on the woes of importing. We're talking memory cards. Not games. Not save files.
