I've been reading most of the reports, and i haven't really heard anything from Square, other than FFXI coming to US. Have they even got a booth? Any mention of GC/GBA games? *whimper*

Bolischoy Tavieda!

I think they're busy dealing with the disastrous FFXI launch...

I've read somewhere on Gameforms.com (letters column perhaps?) that they don't have a booth this year, they're just showing FFXI at Sony's booth, and Kingdom Hearts at Disney's.

Update: I hear FFXI is running at a mere 20 FPS(and not because it's online).

This thing's just headed for disaster...

Things seem to be running smoothly now, those were the result of them overestimating their servers' ability to handle the launch day.

No, it's because its online, and besides, it has some of the biggest locations in any game with hundreds of other players all around you, I think 20 FPS is just fine, if it really runs at that speed all the time.

No, it's because of all the graphics effects it's doing, like the fog, multiple chars., etc., since I hear it runs like that even offline.

And if you think 20 FPS is "just fine" nowadays, then you truly are spoony. The new systems should be well beyond that by now.

A friend played it at E3. I'll ask him about the frame rate.

I have seen videos of the game in action and the frame rate doesn't seem to run that slow, though.

He wrote his impressions of the game (in spanish and does not mention anything about the frame rate..) here:

P.D.: Me vengaré aunque sea lo ultimo que haga. ¡Lo último que haga!

Ok, he said that he wasn't really payng attention to the framerate, howeever, he said the game had ocasionally a bit of lag (given that it's online)but nothing really serious.

He did mention that the game was not as fluid as MGS2 or FFX.
