As if I wasn't already mad enough to miss SDCC this year.

San Diego Comic Con is already rounding out its third day, and those of us who couldn't get tickets to the pop culture mecca are silently cursing the god-awful ticketing process. Well now we have one more reason to be mad, as Square Enix is demoing both Dragon Quest Heroes and the PC version of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD at the Con. Dragon Quest Heroes was recently playable on the E3 showroom floor but is now open to the "public" at SDCC. Meanwhile the PC version of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD sports improved graphics, better battle and camera controls, and Steam community features.
Finally, because it's Comic Con there will be several unique ways to part gaming attendees and their money, including:
