True innovators at SE, first paid demo of FF13, then holding a press conference to release the release date, now holding big event to review work-in-progress of FF15...

What?
Final Fantasy ones in particular. Most of the interviews I've gotten come from regular news work through the main network I work for the past couple years.

What paid demo? It was included in Advent Children blu-ray thats not a "paid demo" its an extra.
and holding a big event for a game release or to kick off a media campaign is nothing new. FFXV is among the most anticipated games of 2016 and relatively little is known about it.

Cool
At first read I thought Kinda Funny was the one announcing it...I was like that's kinda weird.

Yeah, August to maybe October will be the window.
They need a puzzle emoji just for you.

This is the trolling age of SquareEnix. They're going to get up on stage on March 30th to announce an April 1st release date, just in time for the Amazon shipping notices. I bet they've known about that date for a very long time, but people would've thought they were trolling by saying it's coming April 1st 2016 way back in 2015.
I mean, why else do they need all the fanfare? If it's coming out after E3, then that would have been the perfect venue for announcing the date (ala Fallout 4).
I didn't watch the ATR nor have I kept up with XVs development so this is an outside opinion.

Yeah getting there is easy so I'll probably go. A friend convinced me to last night.

Excellent. I reckon it will release shortly after E3, around July, hence the blow out in March to give enough time to build the excitement.

Polishing, tweaking, optimization and debugging.
Behind the scenes they seem quite competent now, so I think this will all be done in time.

My bet is for 12/09 (12/September).
What's yours gaf?
What's yours gaf?
~50% of the game was already said to be polished to final quality some time ago. Polishing the rest shouldn't be something that takes over 12 months, unless they run into some seriously game breaking shit late in the development.
No, just the "progress report vol. 2" stuff.

progress report footage was work in progress from sep-oct. The "stealth" gameplay is more recent, maybe this year.
Lol. Man that was embarrassing.Imagine if Kagari just got herself into this.

Seems odd to have a announcement for a release date. Guessing the demo will come out right after the show. Will admit though while not possible, the game coming out the next day would be crazy.
I would laugh a lot (and then die, resurrect and run to the closest retail store) if Tabata channeled both Oprah and Beyonce and released XV on March 30th, handing out a LE to everyone at the Shrine Auditorium

Well it was said they are still optimizing assets for PS4, right? Seems quite...ah it feels a bit late in the day to be doing that but I guess it's not like they're not just starting. It at least bodes well for the quality of a PC version, not so much the port, if content is being authored well above PS4/Xbox One, which it usually always is bbut...you know what i mean
Yea. A lot of the WIP stuff was from August/September. What we see in March will be final or damn close
Not odd at all. We've known about the March event for months. It was always going to be a big blowout. It's been speculated and implied that the release date would be announced here as well. So not really a shock

there is joy in sucking dick
So 2016 release likely? NOW I can buy a PS4
I thought you were a man also context on why is suda surrounded by women?
Suda? His name is Akio Ofuji. See:
From the FFXIII launch party hosted by Maxim.
Troy Baker was there, too
EDIT: Here's the video from that party with Toriyama raising a toast:

Man, this whole party looks so awkward. Who had the idea to launch a JRPG at a Maxim party. You could maaaybe do that with FFXV, not with FFXIII.
EDIT2: Haha, look who I found in that video:
It's Square Enix PR dude Akio Ofuji, the host of the Active Time Reports with Tabata & Co. Seems like a cool cat, I like him^^
Not likely, confirmed for a while. I mean, something would have to go terribly wrong for the game not to make it out this year
I doubt Sony is THAT involved with this particular event, I'm sure they'll have a marketing agreement but this seems very square.
Then again, I imagine they'll announce a special edition PS4 here, so maybe the are
Sony have thrown a lot of bones Kinda Funny's way but I don't think they had anything to do with this. This would have just been decided by Square Enix. Though maybe if Sony are going to heavily market FFXV/align it with PS4 (which seems likely) then they could have helped them get the gig.
Yes, it focuses mostly on tech, but I think Tabata also said combat will be in it.
