Anyone "covering" the PAX event?

Edit: Found the Official stream here: http://www.ustream.tv/squareenix






Just wondering if anyone knows of or is covering the special event at PAX today?

Tweets or anything of that nature?

Well SOMETHING is going to happen apparently.

Nice.

I do recall them saying the PAX event was supposed to be similar to the 25th anniversary event. 5PST/8EST so only time will tell!

I know GamerEscape's Fusionx will be there and will cover it. I'm sure he will write up a report upon returning from it but I am pretty sure there will be no stream or anything.

In terms of live coverage I'm afraid I can't help you there I don't know anybody doing that.

There was a Square Enix members stream on Ustream earlier, nothing special. They said they'd be back at 5PM PDT.

whoops my bad, i ment by not streaming.

I believe it's a technical difficulty, they don't have internet in their room, still that's no excuse, they had days to setup, they should have announced the livestream was canceled.

I hope they at least recorded it and post up in youtube right after.

Oh, well, yeah. Not having the stream working is terribly silly and unfortunate, no disagreement there. Hopefully it'll get posted soon.

Looks like the Ustream I linked isn't showing anything till 1 tomorrow.

http://gematsu.com/2012/08/final-fan...e-stream-links but isn't listed to start showing anything til 11 est, but better then 1am at least

That's just all the 25th anniversary stuff in Japan. The FFXIV stuff doesn't even show up till 4:30 AM EST.

4:30am... welp I guess I be getting no sleep tonight! :P

Guess I'm calling in sick work tomorrow , lol

I was there today and filmed it O_o

There was a new trailer they released that is an extended version of the limit break trailer that was shown at gamescon. Showed WS's and further showed the environment of the game. Otherwise it was pretty much the same presentation as gamescon.

There were a few other pieces of information that was released such as level syncing, which I read people know about already. :O I will skim through my videos to see if I can pick up on any new info.

post it up!

I will >_> my internet here sucks balls and I don't have good compression software on my laptop :( but I will post up what I have and prob repost it in a few days

Replaying the video right now picking out whatever was new:
-When the dragoon does the WS in the new gameplay footage that looks like "Dragonfire Dive", the dev called it "Firefall"
-The Dev talked about changing how combos work for Ranged classes such as archer and thm, they talk about how ranged classes will get status buffs and debuffs added to combos (its a little bit confusing, but he said it was different then it was before!)
-Talked about how they designed zones to be part of the overarching story.
-Mentions how they do not want people to level up through grinding on monsters, they really want people to level up via the story through quests to really experience a real final fantasy game.
-Talks about crafting, Dev did continue to say that players can level up every crafting skill so you can be "The expert crafter on the whole server"
-Adding level sync, sounds a lot like what they did in XI
-In the chocobo stables, they are going to add a new chocobo combat system which they were not yet ready to talk about, but the chocobos will be able to fight for you (we already knew that though I guess :O)
-Limit breaks are class dependent. The limit break video shows Level 3 meteor limit break by a black mage, but each job has their own unique limit break

-After that they show the limit break trailer. A lot of it shows players riding through Eorzea with chocobos. I did notice right outside Uldah is a LOT greener now.

We're working on uploading the video we have now. It didn't turn out *quite* as nice as our awesome video-guy had hoped. We think it's 'cause the image was a projection, and because it was kinda dark-ish.

Complete waste of my time. Had nothing about FFXIV in it.

Pax itself was separate from the FF 25th anniversary event for one, and for two the XIV presentation happened at 5pm...

http://na.square-enix.com/go/article...neup_announced

Oh, and notably: Yoshi P wasn't at the presentation! ; ; NO YOSHI! *cry*

*edit*

Oh right. cause he's probably at the Japan celebration. derp.

*second edit*

I have a handful of crappy pics on the twitter acct I made for PAX. It was intended for my LS mates so it's a little spammy. but feel free if you want to: https://twitter.com/FrisqueIsamidge

The reason there aren't any shots of the actual presentation are twofold: 1) cause my camera phone sucks and 2) cause I was actually, ya know, watching it :p

Video with trailer in it, its a about halfway through the video:

One more angle with more stability, but it looks like Ashiee's video is a higher quality :)

And another one, taken from a bit further away. TOTALLY DIGGING THE LIMIT BREAK GAMEPLAY TRAILER!!! The music in it sounds perfect. Way better than previous trailers and great use of camera's. Also the scenery looks gorgeous even through that crappy quality
