Good morning everyone! For those who don't know, I've been an onsite reporter at PAX East this weekend! This post will be a quick preview of much, much more to come! So hold onto your hats and let's get going!

Even I couldn't get lost looking for PAX with a sign like that!

At PAX got some time with some hands on and hands off demos. These include the newly rebooted Tomb Raider, the just announced Deus Ex: Directors Cut, Square Enix's new MMO-FPS-Strategy Hybrid Heroes and Generals, and who could forget Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX! My time with Tomb Raider was limited it mainly consisted of me sneaking up on some unsuspecting Deer with my bow. For more information on that game I recommend continuing to read Locky's various reviews (http://home.eyesonff.com/general-square-enix/149086-tomb-raider-first-impressions.html). However with the rest of the lineup I did get some quality time with each of the games and I will have respective articles on my time with each!

The hype was on

At all times Square Enix had trailers running in their section. Lightning Returns, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX, Final Fantasy X and X-2: HD, and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trailers played on repeat. The Final Fantasy X and X-2 Trailer marked the official announcement that it would be packaged with Final Fantasy X!

Square Enix did live streams of all their panels that can be still viewed! So if you want to see what they had to say about Final Fantasy XI Seekers of Adoulin or Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn you still can! (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/30222921) You can also check out the panel they had on Tomb Raider (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/30218497) which included a talk from the lead writer from the game and ended in a fun Q&A session. Unfortunately I don't think the Chocobo plushies from the Final Fantasy panel can be transmitted over the internet. Sorry all.

It also wasn't hard to locate the Square-Enix Section

Stay tuned for details soon!

I'm curious what the "Exclusive Content to the Audience" from 45:17 to 46:30 in that stream was. An FFXHD trailer? The trivia segment was a lot of fun. I found it funny how you could hear some guy keep saying "ask an FFXII question!" and naturally they asked questions about every other FF but XII. :p

Quick response, yes that section was a trailer for FFX and X-2 HD.
