Why else would Sony update the hard drives to increase the partition size of FFXI for 9 gigs? That's a huge amount of space, especially for a game that's been essentially on auto-pilot.

There's a big something coming down the pipeline, and we'll see it at the end of the month.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get my hopes up about a Dissidia version of FFXI...

Why else would Sony update the hard drives to increase the partition size of FFXI for 9 gigs? That's a huge amount of space, especially for a game that's been essentially on auto-pilot.

Because, at this point in the PS2's lifespan, there's no reason not to. Even if there is to be a new PS2 game published, the odds of it using the HDD are essentially zero. Meanwhile, Sony has an idea of what HDD usage would look like in a worst-case scenario; I'm betting 21 GiB (40 GiB - FFXI) is just about enough to install all published HDD-using games on the same PS2.

There's a big something coming down the pipeline, and we'll see it at the end of the month.

And where, praytell, is "Super Big Awesome Game-Saving Surprise" slated on the Vana'fest schedule? Will it be during the cosplay contest, or the music concert?

(On a side note, if the devs mention XIV at the Vana'fest, and the context is anything but "We're sorry we've been forsaking you in favor of..." then I hope the attendees will have brought torches and pitchforks.)
