The biggest thing they'll do for 15 I think is to show how different it is from 13. Expect some fable like talk. "In 13 we know fans didnt like towns being taken out well we made up for that".

Given the Final Fantasy Agito trademark, maybe they'll be calling it Final Fantasy Versus.

changes as in it has changed platforms from PS3 to PS4
that itself will bring a lot of changes to the ambition of the project XD

The Japanese version of Fuse. 4 player co-op campaign! "We're trying to expand our audience".
I'd certainly be fine with a PS4 only Versus. Although I imagine it may annoy quite a few people who aren't planning on switching consoles right away. Still they'll get Lightning Returns and an MMO.changes as in it has changed platforms from PS3 to PS4

I understand people's pessimism on IF Versus will be shown, not on WHAT will be shown. They showed a 7-minute trailer almost 2,5 years ago. Whatever they will show from Versus next, no matter WHEN they'll show it, it will be a grand reveal, not a 30 second prerendered CGI trailer with a new logo. It will have tons of gameplay (more finished version of it this time with finalized UIs and all), a bit more detailed a look at the story side (maybe give characters other than Noctis & Stella the spotlight for a bit) and quite likely some surprises when it comes to the game's features (airships for realz? coop multiplayer?).

yea it will probably be released by fall 2014 anyway....
Realistically I guess a name change may not be in the cards, I expect their next big next-gen game will be FFXV but we'll see.
I'd like a 2-3 minute trailer with gameplay and a release date. I think Square Enix owes us that much after all this time, even if it's like 'summer 2014'.
This is how I see it. FFXIII will have a trilogy by the time Versus it out, yet if you put together all of the FFXIIIs you'd probably still have a less ambitious game. I think the name change would be great because to me it looks like 'here is a proper entry into the franchise' while some more casual gamers might just skip it as being another XIII spin-off, and that would be unfortunate it. Even renaming it just FF Versus doesn't solve the problem really.
They already did that for FFXIII-2, they just half-assed all the parts that fans 'didn't like'.

Ugh. When will people get over this preconceived notion that Hashimoto said "NEW Final Fantasy". He NEVER uttered those words. Go ahead and rewatched his section. I'll wait.
He said, "We are preparing developments for A Final Fantasy title."
So no it wouldn't be "trolling" if they announced Versus as XV.

It has to show up. No mention of the game and I think we can safely assume it has been cancelled.
Realistic:
PS3/PS4 cross gen title. If it has been renamed to FFXV there is no way they will release it on the PS4 when the user base is still minimal, especially in Japan. It will come to both consoles I reckon. I would prefer PS4 only though.

I guess we are committed to hyping this up now. All aboard!!!
I don't know what to make of this but I hope it's the meltdowns of the good kind. :/
Lol, yup. I have always felt the game has gone out of its way to show how different it is from XIII and XIII's game design and systems. Even the CTO said the game was extremely ambitious. I have a lot of faith Nomura and team Versus.

I know i'm the only one here but versus never did anything to me, it looks like a sort of crisis core with ffxiii engine to me, i loved crisis core and the graphics of ffxiii was amazing but imo agito/type 0 is way more spectacular(relatively to the platform) and original, maybe the fact that agito/type 0 is a real game while versus is still vaporware counts too lol.

A substantial trailer with both gameplay and story and a simultaneous worldwide release date at the end of it.

This.
For a game I know little-to-nothing about, frankly I'm sick of hearing about it. I want to buy it, I want to play it, and I want to move on.
Nomura's wet-dream Final Fantasy, be it his fault or upper management's fault, has been a running joke for 6 years now.
Yes, I hope they've renamed it FFXV and reworked the hell out of it. I hope it's the largest, most detailed (both graphics-wise and gameplay-wise) FF ever made.
Square-Enix has been so batshit crazy for pretty much the past decade that I honestly don't know what to expect. My 'realistic' expectations actually cover the entire spectrum: from absolutely nothing changing, the game still having the stupidly confusing Final Fantasy Versus XIII title, still being on PS3, and still releasing sometime in 2014; to the game changing to FFXV, a complete retooling of the gameplay, massive stylistic changes, PS4 exclusive, and also a next-gen FFXVI already in development and only two years away.
Anything can happen at E3 and I legitimately would not be surprised.
The way I see it, S-E is in a position where they can turn things around and reacquire goodwill from their fanbase by producing exciting, quality products in reasonable time-frames, or they can keep their heads in the sand, continue to make foolish, questionable decisions, and keep on the path of fucking up one of the most important franchises in the industry. Either direction is realistic to me right now.

Agree with every word, although seeing that it exists at all, and has made actual progress, will surprise me no matter the general expectation.

I just need a release window, and possibly a new trailer.
I'll be most likely going into media blackout after E3 though.
I watched that 2011 trailer far too many times.

I'm hoping that the game is still on PS3, even if on PS4 but Cross Gen.
Part of the reason I even bought my PS3 was for this game and other games that were promised exclusive to the platform that ended up in development limbo. Now the majority of the time I use my PS3 as a Netflix/Hulu box in the bedroom.

The game always looked interesting, but I won't be able to get it anyways unless it comes to Nintendo, which is where Final Fantasy has always been home for me.
If SE pulls this again I hope the fans don't eat it up even if the CG trailer looks excellent. Without a release date they might as well not show a trailer.

If it's not an action RPG anymore than SE can go F themselves.
What I'd want:
- Cross-gen
- Q1/2 2014 release
- 2-5 minute trailer
- More of what we've seen so far
What I expect:
- PS4 exclusive
- 2014 release
- 2-5 minute trailer
Worst case scenario:
- A complete gameplay overhaul, back to the classic ATB system
- 2015 release
- Just a title change screen
- Cross-gen

What I hope for:
The flight through the city on that flying thingy in the 2011 trailer looks like a super-awesome setpiece, as do the city portions in general (the fight against the behemoth looks intense, hopefully it's challenging). Other than that, what we saw in the 2011 trailer was 1) somewhat early from a development POV and 2) probably very early in the game in general, so you're not going to see the epicest shit of the game during that point in the game (from a gameplay POV, the game obviously has a somewhat explosive beginning with the invasion & all).

So many people think cross-gen. Not only would it be stupid for a mainline FF and devalue the game, it also implies that they kept working on the ps3 the last two years. When everything indicates they hit roadblocks on that platform and finally said "fuck it, let's move it to next gen".
As if putting the game on two platforms would devalue the franchise more than something like FFXIII has done? Please.
Not really. Last year they said the game was being complex to realize due to its ambition, but the team was still working hard on it. This is unlike The Last Guardian, which has been said to have some technical difficulties.
i really want an amazing live-demo, and for square to redeem themselves and impress everyone with the world exploration and quality of the arpg gameplay.
i think we'll just get a ps4 exclusive and ffxv redbranding confirmation and a new, largely story based, trailer. that will still be great though given its absence.

If there's a new trailer I will scream and shout and celebrate. And I bet my friends will record me doing this. ;P
DemonNite is now required to make a Versus countdown gif everyday now. He has no choice.*
*He has a choice but it would be legendary and amazing if he did do it.
Edit:
Also I made a teaser video for Versus re-reveal at E3. It's not the best but its mine and I did it
