Eorzea



Anyway, so as it's obvious, Square unveiled FFXIV at E3, a new MMO slated for next year. No real connection to FFXI other than the races (which are going to be a bit different too). Anyway, most of it was prerendered stuff, but there was a few scenes using the Crystal Tools ingame engine. The pic of the shield magic on the boat is ingame stuff. No idea what the actual gameplay is going to look or even be like, Square likes being tight-lipped about everything. But yeah, I just beat/quit FFXI like 3 weeks ago too. This isn't fair! T_T



As for the rest of E3, it was pretty good. Nintendo's show was kinda lame, although some of the new games (Zelda Wii next year!) and more focus on the Wii Motion Plus makes me excited for what's to come. Sony had an AMAZING freaking show and I need a PS3 and PSP like yesterday. Seriously. I might get PSP by the end of the year, though not the PSPGo, I think I'd prefer to have physical media. PS3's too expensive without any kind of income though >_> I'll have to wait until at the absolute least next summer, probably later. Also, Square's got a new action game called Nier coming soon. It looks intense. Check it out.



Something I've been noticing recently while I sit down to work on these things...mice suck. Alot. Like I try to draw a one inch horizontal line and end up with something that looks like a violent struggle took place across a hundred years of the barren wastes of Bradwen's forehead. Yeesh. I'd like to get a tablet, but there's that money thing again, such a pain. Maybe I'll see if I can get one as my Christmas present this year or something.

Sidenote: trying to regulate sleeping habits is pain in the arse.
