Square-Pheonix rebrand?

Please be excited.
 
We already know there's no online requirement. And current talk says used games passes or DRM or whatever is up to developers - possibly been dropped.

Hopefully the twitter campaign has pushed them towards definitely dropping it.
 
Final Fantasy XV AND Kingdom Hearts 3? I dunno bro....I am only expecting FFXV

It's bit extreme to expect something about KH3 when the dev team can't release Versus aka FFXV or whatever.
Imo we'll get something like this: new trailer for Lightning Returns (and people will boo) coming out this year, trailer for FFXIV with PS4 version announcement (maybe launch title? It will be based on the PC version afterall).
Then we'll finally know about Versus XIII. Probably now it's FFXV, cross gen and exclusive to PS3-PS4. Coming out 2014.
And that's it =)
 
Any idea about how long the Sony and MS conferences are going to be? I thought I read earlier in thread that Sony was about 2 hours. Can't imagine MS would be as long but would like theirs to be lengthy as well. Hoping for really good showings all around.
 
I don't see how it could be a brand new FF. They've had all their teams working on Lightning Returns, FFXIV A Realm Reborn and Versus XIII.

I think people are underestimating SE when saying this. But anyway, Lightning Returns doesn't seem that high budget and Versus is being made by the KH team who don't normally work on FF. Both LR and ARR will release this year. I doubt they'd have much work done on a next gen FF anyway, going by what Yoshihisa Hashimoto said last November:

All we have seen of Luminous Studio so far, though, is Agni’s Philosophy. Surely Square Enix has at least one game in the works? “Yes, I think I can tell you that we’ve already entered that phase,” Hashimoto says. “However, the engine itself is not yet fully finished, so we’re not working on anything full-time. Right now arrangements are being made as we prepare to work using the real thing.” An engine, of course, is only half the battle, and Square Enix’s Japanese studio will need to produce games of a higher quality than the likes of Final Fantasy XIII to justify what is surely a considerable R&D investment.
 
I'm starting to get convinced that Versus will be there, and with a name change, but I don't necessarily think it's been called XV or moved to PS4, and I'm 100% sure that the FF Hashimoto teased is brand new and made specifically for next gen with the Luminous Engine. Versus and another FF isn't a bad deal, no?

Yes, I agree with this. His exact quote was:

Hashimoto said:
we are preparing for development of a Final Fantasy title, please be excited for e3 this year.


So they might simply tease a new Final Fantasy title for PS4/Xbone at e3 (Similar to the Final Fantasy XIII showing during e3 2006)
 
Tretton seems like a decent guy but he's not a great presenter, he's always really nervous which makes uncomfortable viewing.
I'd rather just have Cerny the whole time, that guy is just chill.

I've always felt that Tretton came off as the most genuine. Sure Cerny is easily the best speaker Sony have had on a stage in recent years, but I don't think he'd make a great host.

Tretton always seems to be happy to present the conference too, Don and Reggie both come off too much like executives for me (strange thing to say, I know).

I don't think they'll announce a game that's only 2% complete, but it is Square-Enix so that's actually something they love to do.

I just want Versus :(

Im just going to be catiously optimistic about it, I feel like it wont happen but I don't want to get too excited.

I just hope Versus is a launch title so I can justify buying the thing at launch.

Oh and what do you guys think the price is going to be? Im thinking two models, one at 399 and one at 499.
 
Imagine.... that Versus XIII is not FF15, but prequel to FF7 that describes original arrival of JENOVA to the civilized planet that would soon become almost destroyed and renamed to Midgard...

How complete was FF13 when they showed it at e3 2006? :P They will probably tease a new next gen Final Fantasy, release Agito and give full details of Versus15 (current gen now on PS360 and maybe Wii U and PC)

I have lowered my expectation in regards to Square, they keep releasing the most insane news of supporting cellphones and all..

Agreed. I hope we get Tretton as the lead presenter at this years conference. He always seems very genuine and that makes things pleasant to watch. He doesn't feel like a regular 'suit' on stage.

I'm almost certain that Square is going to have a partnership for 1 or 2 PS4 exclusives this E3. There has been little bits of gossip here and there to that affect. Sony is going to get the Japanese centric developers on board the easiest in terms of exclusives, mainly because so much of the marketshare worldwide in terms of Final Fantasy sales is found on Playstation platforms.

How about we just go with Versus being renamed to XV and now a PS4 game? That was a far better scenario.

Please?

I don't see that happening under the "new" Square.

My new predictions:
*Final Fantasy Versus 13 renamed to Final Fantasy XV -> Now coming to PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and PC
*Final Fantasy Agito -> HD now coming to Vita, Wii U, PS360
*Teasing new Final Fantasy title running on Luminous engine for PS4, Xbox 1 and PC
*Final Fantasy 14 now on PS4
that's about it

*Final Fantasy 14 now on PS4 (still also on PS3/PC)
that's about it

This is far more likely.
 
I hope The Last Guardian hasn't been Fuse-ified. What if it doesn't bear a close resemblance to what was first unveiled, and has since undergone a drastically different metamorphosis that'll make Team ICO fans the world over rage? Now the kid is a cigar-chomping, foul-mouthed mercenary with a penchant for heavy artillery, the griffin is his wisecracking Call of Duty dog Colin, and their valiant quest is to curb-stomp some rampaging Colossus ass in downtown Detroit.

I'm getting paranoid here; it's been years since we last saw anything from it. It best still be looking like that glorious '09 trailer, but with next-gen hairballs.
 
don't worry. if FF/KH doesn't get announced at Sony's Event we can use the wait for Square's E3 Event.

two games from square will be announced

If Versus is current gen I still expect it to remain PS3 exclusive. SE doesn't care for Wii U or PC for FF.

Square will announce the versus kick starter campaign at E3.

Released in another 5 years. Maybe.
