XSEED Games is ready to sell some loot and play games at the 2011 Anime Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center, July 1-4! On this most patriotic of holidays we will show our capitalist spirit and SELL, SELL, SELL! At our swag-bedecked booth we will have over 20 of our greatest titles for purchase along with Limited Edition collectables (Onii dolls!), and Tom*, the greatest Falcom fan that ever lived.



So... DO THE RIGHT THING: BE THERE. And let us shower you with RPG goodness**!





*Not for sale

**More info to come that will delight, surprise and probably raise a few eyebrows. Anticipate!

[PurpleDoom]

I live on the opposite coast. Insert great sadness here.

...at least I can revel in the glory of the bacon-pikkards.

[WoottWinds]

Dammit! I got really excited to see Tom for sale, I need someone to translate, narrate, and guide me through the entire LoH Gagharv trilogy while I play... Stupid disclaimers.... I was gonna have him do little character voices and everything...

Sad I won't be able to make it over to this though. Maybe next year XSEED!

[suashi]

Yay! I will so be there for showering and purchasing!

[Wyrdwad]

I'm negotiable... for the right bidder.

...Yeah, that was terrible! Sorry about that. ;) But I will be there, in all my awkward nerdiness! The current plan is that I'll be workin' the booth on Friday and Monday, and walkin' the floor on Saturday and Sunday (and I'll be at the Hatsune Miku concert on Saturday, for sure -- WOOOOO!!). So feel free to stop by and say hi... and BUY BUY BUY!! ;)

-Tom

[reyvard]

I won't be there because I can't during this period in it fact it would be funny to meet the forum member's and also BUY THE LIMITED EDITIONS of certain games
why it's at the same time that the japan expo in Paris ( exactly the same four days )

_it take place each year ?

[Dragon Heart]

And this what I get for living on the East coast. *Sigh* Well, in any event, I hope you guys have fun and remember, don't try to do anything stupid like selling Hero's box/face or bringing Wyrdwad ANYWHERE NEAR a cosplayer cosplaying as a Falcom character.

[Chaosblade]

You mean I have a reason to be interested in an Anime convention thing? Never thought I'd see the day.

Mishera? Mishera, where are yooooou...? ;)

Is this a hint for announcements of new games?

[Chaosblade]

That's what it sounds like to me. The stars seem to be lining up for something.

I'd really like to see the Hatsune Miku concert, but I'm on the wrong side of the country. I mean, sure, meeting the XSEED family would be great, too, but how can you compare that to meeting the predecessor of Sharon Apple?

A service I think XSEED should offer at its booth: bring any corrugated cardboard box, and if Jess is there, she'll customize it for you. She might refuse, though, if you say, "Wow, you sure look different with a human head!"

P.S. I got a Great on "Hatsune Miku no Shou失" (<- no BACON!) Hard mode.

Impressive! That song is insane. (:

-Tom

[SpaceDrake]

Damn and blast, I'd been planning on purchasing Tom for a basket of potatoes and a side of bacon so I could use him for... purposes.

Anyway, I'll be at AX too, and I'll be certain to stop by!

[Wyrdwad]

OH GOD, HIDE!

...I mean, we'll see you there. ;)

-Tom

[Boy_Tomo_Chan]

Onii dolls!? D: Why must I be so far away...I'd love one.

[SplatterTrigger]

Curse my Placement on the East Coast! Guess I'll be on eBay to snag up that exclusive swag! Grrrrrr

[conurebleu]

I live in a different country.... Come to Montreal! XD

[NorseFTX]

Wait, July 1-4th--? Darnit!
I live in the area normally, but it just so happens I'm out of the country from June 29th to July 22nd. Crap! I wanted to get a chance to meet you guys face to face and see all the wonky costumes people come up with. This makes me sad. ...I'm gonna go blow up some pikkards in Ys I.

[conurebleu]

Poor pikkards...

Even if you were to come to montreal's Otalkuthon, I would probably work that day Y_Y

Got An Idea! If any of them are left, send me one and I'll wear it! (cheap publicity? XD)

[onmode-ky]

Impressive! That song is insane. (:

-Tom
I was so jBACONBACONBACONed about it (really, even a respectable genre of music gets the baconization?) that I even took a picture (http://pnp-info.angelfire.com/highscores.html). ;D It was only possible for me by switching from holding the PSP normally for most of the song to holding it down on a table and stabbing away with my index finger, once the high speed section kicked in.

[Terro]

I won't be at Anime Expo, but I WILL be at PAX Prime. Will you guys be attending?

[Wyrdwad]

Don't think so. Sorry. :(

-Tom

[Chaosblade]

I'm guessing the game Ken mentioned to Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2011/06/09/xseed-teases-a-psp-project-that-weve-covered-before/) will be announced here? You guys don't have anything announced except SC which is probably still around a year away.

For me personally, I think almost every PSP game I'd be interested in would be out of reach, or is a Falcom game. I'd love to be wrong though.

[SpaceDrake]

I would imagine they're going to have a panel at AX with a lot of announcements and the like.

[Wyrdwad]

Noooo, no panel. Just a booth. AX isn't really our time to announce things -- just our time to meet and greet you guys, and sell you cool stuff. ;) We MIGHT have something to announce by then, but the majority of the games we're working on (and yes, we're working on quite a few right now!) are still in the video game equivalent of preproduction -- we've gotten the ball rolling, but only JUST, and have no real insight yet into when we can expect them to get released, how much they'll cost, what format they'll be on, or even (in some cases) IF they'll get released (since until a certain point in any localization process, there's always that risk of some other company sneaking in a higher bid and yanking the game away from us, or some catastrophic failure somewhere making it absolutely impossible for us to proceed on schedule).

That's why we haven't announced anything yet. But as soon as we pass that "sweet spot" in the localization process for at least one of these games -- that point where the license has been secured 100%, translation is well underway, programming is mostly done and everything seems to be running smoothly -- we'll shower you guys with lots of unexpected (but extremely welcome) game announcements.

Short version: Good things, they are a-comin'! ;)

-Tom

I'll be looking forward to whatever games you bring over. :) If Sega doesn't localize Valkyria Chronicles 3, could you guys do it? I also wish I could be there to meet you guys. I live on the opposite side of the country. :( I've never been to an anime convention. . .

[Wyrdwad]

You haven't? They're pretty fun! You should check to see if there are any anime conventions local to you, as there probably will be at least one (there are hundreds, possibly thousands of anime conventions held in the U.S. each year, in virtually every nook and cranny of the country!).

Only one's got us, but still... anime conventions are lots of fun, even if we cannot grace them with our presence. ;)

-Tom

[black box]

I was actually planing on canceling my tickets to AX, but given other engagements emerging there, and now XSEED, I might go a day or two.

Is XSEED planning on going to any cons focusing more on exhibition and publicity, with a large gaming presence, like Comicon?

[Wyrdwad]

Probably not... but you never know. We go where the winds call us. ;)

Can't wait! Hope the games come out sometime this year.

[Phoenix_Apollo]

Please let one of them be Corpse Party. Please.

[bolty28]

what is this bacon song you speak of? is it from some game you released?
