Square Enix teasing their E3 booth

Sorry but won't be excited unless I see one of these 3 things :
-Type 0 Vita announced for western markets and Versus XIII (or renamed as XV) announced for this year showing gameplay
-FFVII remake
-Chrono Trigger sequel with the people from the original game

Agni's Philosophy looks nice but also can be smoke like Versus XIII so won't count with it until I see gameplay and a close release date.

I think Agni's Philosophy is just a tech demo.

Yeah thats not going to happen any time soon.
 
Besides FFXV, what will excite me:

- Chrono Break
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- A brand new JRPG IP
 
-FFVII remake.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't someone at SE say that they would consider a FFVII remake the day that the technology allowed a VERY significant and special experience? I am still hoping for a remake for next gen, and that might be what makes me go next gen. Maybe the only thing.
 
Plenty of GAF must have played Type 0, is it any good? I thought the demo was quite cool.

It's a fantastic game.

Sad thing is it's the best game out of the entire FNC mythos to date. And I guess they kept it in Japan because of how it makes XIII series look like crap.
 
I'm assuming the Xbox event is western focused so SE could be there to show off Thief or Murdered: Soul Suspects.

If they're even there. Given the short amount of time and the low importance of titles like those to MS, I doubt they'll have them up there.
 
If it's not Kingdom Hearts 3 for ps4 and xbox8 I don't care.
If it's not final fantasy vs XIII/XV I don't care.


Give me those two with a clear release date and I'll be excited. Until then you'll still be irrelevant for me.

Or you could announce a new soul reaver and a new sleeping dogs. That can work too.
 
I doubt if Microsoft even cares for Square Enix after they failed in the Japanese market. The Xbox Conference will mostly focus on Western titles, i think.
 
Still unclear why people think Kingdom Hearts 3 is a thing. I mean it would be nice, but was it ever formally announced?

The staff have spoke openly about KH3 for some time now. This is from an interview I had with co-director Tai Yasue last year:

RPG Site: Nomura-san recently shared his desire to return the series to consoles. Could you comment on that?

Yasue: I really can’t, but what I can say is that Kingdom Hearts 3D is directly connected to Kingdom Hearts 3 so if you play it, you’ll get a rough idea of the future in the secret movie for example. A lot of the gameplay, as I mentioned earlier will be taken to those future games as well.

I am sure that the secret ending of DDD for 3DS hinted at Kingdom Hearts 3(Or perhaps another new KH game).

I haven't played DDD myself though.

That works. :)

I'd imagine they would hold off this time until they're ready to show the game in development, considering how funky the development for Versus has been.
 
The staff have spoke openly about KH3 for some time now. This is from an interview I had with co-director Tai Yasue last year:

Andriasang had something from a few years ago too talking about how it's time KH came back to consoles, and how KH 3D is directly setting up KH3, and how gameplay ideas in KH3D were tests for KH3's new gameplay. Then there's the HD re-releases which are the perfect thing to get people caught up for KH3. Julien Merceron let slip a while ago that KH is being worked on in Crystal Tools on some French FF site.

I don't have proof or anything, but they've made it sound like KH3 is absolutely being worked on. I wouldn't be surprised by a reveal for it at any time really. Seems like it would be next gen now that it's taken this long though, or PS3 / Wii U.

I'm kind of glad they've taken this long now though. They can stick in Star Wars since it's now a Disney property!
 
Besides FFXV, what will excite me:

- Chrono Break
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- A brand new JRPG IP

-The Chrono series is finished, dead, burried. Leave it where it is.
-Frankly, it makes me sad to see the KH series being so important to SE nowadays. I have never been grabbed it, i think its success is mainly due to Disney side of the games rather than the SE side.
-As for a new brand new IP, is SE capable of doing that nowdays? lol...

No the only thing of interest coming from this company is VersusXIII at least to me. That one is going to be very important for the future of the franchise, critically especially.
 
Twould be funny if SE turned up and showed the exact same Agni demo at the MS Event. If there trully was justice, they would get booed off stage.

I really want to know what the reaction was during the PS Meeting lol. Showing off a 8 month old tech demo... only Square Enix!
 
I just want to know what is going to be Final Fantasy 15. Will it be Versus, or will it turn into that Angie demo?

I'm sure the headliner for them at E3 will be Lightning Returns, which is sad. I hope they will at least show off Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD, but since its not even out in Japan yet, I'm guessing no.

I think somebody yawned, another person stroked their beard. One person apparently picked their nose and flicked at the stage. Oh, and Mark Cerny coughed politely behind the curtains.

and Andrew House was twiddling his thumbs off stage.

But seriously . despite the fact that it was 8 months old i think SE wanted to show on stage that what was shown truly could run on PS4 hardware and is not just a prerendered cgi scene .

I remember watching the event and just thinking.. "how on earth did they think they'd get away with this?" Regardless, the fact they showed up just to essentially tell us to wait further, implies that their E3 showing has to be something pretty substantial. /optimism-mode xD

Lmao when he walked back up there you could hear it is his voice like "Wtf really?"

Didn't Epic show their same old UE4 demo too? That was the opening of the whole Sony PS4 conference and no one cared.
 
I'm really looking forward to 2.5 ReMIX but a KH3 announcement some time soon would be nice as well.

Imagine if Sony's E3 conference ended with a "surprise! here's KH3 for PS4".

Yeah, that's too unrealistic.

Well Hashimoto is very excited about Versus, he's one of the few people who still is.

Probably because he's in a position where he gets all the info and media he wants.

Screw you Hashimoto.
 
I think Versus is going to do much damage to GAF than KH would. I don't get the feeling it's held in a high regard on GAF generally.
