They start dropping more often after Mushroom Rock (the next area), it's just that the Kilika-Mi'ihen stretch is pretty sparse on them for whatever reason.

Kingtheninja posted:When can I start finding ability spheres in FFX on a regular basis? I'm on the Mi'hen road and one rare creature drops them, but I have tons of abilities my characters are sitting on waiting to unlock. If you're playing PAL/International/HD (read: any English version except the vanilla US PS2 release) there are some abilities early on the sphere grid called "Extract ____". Wakka, for example, gets Extract Ability. (I think it's near Yuna and Kimahri on the expert grid?) Smack an enemy with that and if it would've dropped 7 Blahblahs normally, it'll instead drop 7 Ability Spheres. If you're playing vanilla PS2, you're SOL except for encountering the right sort of enemy that drops them. Much much later, you can buy "____ Distiller" items which are consumables which do the same thing (convert drops into the same quantity of the appropriate type of the four basic activation spheres), but by the time those are buyable, you're generally not going to have issues with sphere supply for casual playthrough. (They'll be useful if you get into endgame sphere grid stat-maxing though. Not that I particularly recommend doing that in the first place.)

I get the feeling that someone was forced to write an article about video games (I mean it's something that moves billions of dollars) despite considering the whole business a waste of space so that was their way of getting the last word.

They are intended for VR platforms as well as consoles and smart devices (and cloud services?) - Much of Asia has become a mature market. They're looking to make China a key region through strategic partnerships with local companies - Launching FFXIV in East Asian countries - Targeting untapped markets in Russia, South Asia, and South America. Partnerships with local companies will be normal when entering unfamiliar markets - Will launch more HD titles next year but smart devices will continue to be the major revenue contributor - FFXV scheduled for release in 2016 for PS4 and XB1 - DQXI release date not confirmed yet - Rise of the Tomb Raider's release schedule: Xbox One and Xbox 360 editions: November 10, 2015/PC edition: early 2016/PlayStation 4 edition: 2016 year-end holiday season http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/pdf/ar_2015en.pdf

Considering how huge deliberately low-res games and indie titles have been lately I'm surprised Square-Enix isn't trying to go for more of that. Worked for Capcom when they released Resident Evil Revelations 2 as a budget title with budget graphics. C'mon, Square, make FF16 a sprite game! You know you wanna!

Einhander re-release and sequel. I'm pretty sure anyone who worked on it either doesn't work at SE or is dead but still DO ITTT Also we need a new Bushido Blade game even though 3D arena fighting games are totally out of style just because
