Hell no
You'll want to keep it in working order to trade in for the PS5 launch bundle with this game

likely the day after
I think they may have hinted this. They said something along the lines of "We'll learn what the contents are, including the game itself..."
Getting early access/preview to new FFXIV expansion sounds more realistic.

I didn't expect for the March event to be this big of a thing. Also,Greg and Tim are a weird choice. The last thing that comes to mind is Greg Miller when I hear Final Fantasy.

Repost in other thread when people asking why they choose Greg Miller
... and in 2008, we had no more ideas. Then in 2009, it got boring, so we started new projects. But then in 2010, a few new ideas were implemented. Development became somewhat stale again in 2011. In 2012 everyone was burnt out. Come 2013, we just said fuck it, let's finish this mess of a game! And so we finished it three years later!

Cool, may as well go then..even though im a pc gamer and still waiting for the "announcement"
I think we are talking different things. I say their versus --> XV announcement was 1 year too early at least. Then they stretched out meaningless content updates until recently, and seemingly distanced themselves from versus in everything but Noctis. Had they delayed the announcement, they may have seen that linking XV to Versus would come with certain expectations (that they had been working on it for years, that people would expect what they knew about versus to be part of XV etc.)
The could have conceivably continued business as usual with versus being absent for a while longer without impacting their marketing plan.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
So excited for this 😃

I still think Kagari not hosting is a crime but nevertheless excited.
SE doesn't care for community sites these days, sadly.
No. As I said, people were getting really resentful over FFVsXIII missing a lot of big events by E3 2013 and as I also pointed out, Square Enix said they felt they needed to announce FFXV (and Kingdom Hearts III) at E3 2013 because they knew the console situation in Japan was/is dire and they felt announcing two big hitters like FFXV & KHIII would perhaps make it at least a little bit better. That also applies to the worldwide market. Creating excitement for PS4Bone is important for the success of SQEX as well, which is what FFXV & KHIII unveils at E3 2013 certainly did, no matter whatever small missteps they have taken since then, occasionally.
I personally prefer FFXV & KHIII being in the open, even if some of the showings have been a bit underwhelming/boring. I've been excited by a lot of the stuff they've shown, not all of it has been total shit.

I guess it makes sense Colin isn't in on this. Greg is a great host, and Tim is too (it only helps he apparent loves Final Fantasy). Colin on the other hand is the kind of guy who will say Final Fantasy, Square, and other companies like Nintendo are dissapointing without playing their games. And I love Colin despite this. But he has no place at a FFXV event.

It's been a long time since I saw this overused meme. Back to Skyrim days this meme was annoyed as fuck

Colin shouldn't be host for this event. But what he definitely needs is an interview with Tabata so that he can clear away his preconceptions of FFXV.

Even the meme got annoyed by its overuse?

Love him or hate him Greg is a pro. Tbh I can't really think of any gaming "personalities" that I think of as final fantasy super fans anyways.

At least for me. Don't know if people fell the same.

Maybe they'll also have playable kiosks at the event? Or some other stuff for fans other than just 'Final Fantasy XV will be released in September 5th 2016, see ya.'

I am pretty sure they will release the second demo pretty soony after the event, maybe it's a download now thing.

Colin is a super fan I believe but he's not the type to host an event like this. He's more for the low key interviews and the more nuanced discussion this is more info dump and marketing. Greg is much better suited due to his personality and ability to engage an audience on a different level.

I'd have exclusive hands-on with the demo at the event and release it on the same day too. That way those that are there can try it out and others at home can download it.

Ha-ha, for real.😭
They don't? Haven't they given tons of interview opportunities to fan sites in the last few years? Sites like KHInsider getting to interview Nomura and such.
Colin is a super fan of old Final Fantasy (FF1-VII? Maybe FFVIII and IX but I've never heard him speak of them) but he loathes all FF's from FFX and onwards so even if he was more outgoing/appropriate to host he wouldn't be a good choice.
Crap time for Europe, which is probably for the best. Will wake up to release date on 31st.
"We didn't learn our mistakes from the last time we announced multiple Final Fantasy games together. Please be excited for twenty years of the same FFXVII footage."

They aren't. The event is called "Uncovered: FFXV", not "FFXV release date show".
It's the beginning of their marketing cycle: live show, big trailer, introduction of the game to the casual gamers, CE pricing and more.
Continually baffled by how drawn out the release of this game is. I've played every FF game and want to play it, but man this long preview and release process is really draining. I thought the FFXIII release marathon was bad, but it's got nothing on this game.
This game has a LOT to live up to, I hope they did the players right this time.

Why would someone go to this?

The thing is that Versus XIII didn't even enter full development until a few years after its initial reveal. Then the development was completely rebooted in 2012 when it was turned into FFXV. Lastly there was a soft reboot in 2014 when Tabata took over.
Turns out making a hugely ambitious PS4-level open-world-ish JRPG takes time, who knew?

Do you honestly think, they're only reveal the release date and everybody goes home after that?
Because maybe there's more there than just a release date reveal? Maybe a chance to meet some of the creators, perhaps interesting presentations by said creators, maybe live music & other stuff that has been in SQEX events in recent years. It's not just a "hey dudes & gurlz, the game B out on XX.XX.2016, peace ya'll, hope you had fun coming here, that's all"
Any news they announce or footage they show will either be on the internet at the exact same time or very shortly after.
Maybe they plan on giving stuff away I guess?

Maybe, but that also applies to every event ever.
