Generally I don't post threads because I suck at using the search feature (I searched for S-E E3, etc. and found nothing). Lock if old please!

Anyway the lineup:

DavidDayton · (07-09-2007, 02:25 PM)

Only 2/3 of squareENIX's lineup are on Nintendo systems?

Blablurn · (07-09-2007, 02:25 PM)

No Remake hype this year? ._.

Sho_Nuff82 · (07-09-2007, 02:26 PM)

You mean, Final Fantasy's E3 lineup right?

antiloop · (07-09-2007, 02:27 PM)

Oh well.. TGS it is for FFXIII.

Tobor · (07-09-2007, 02:27 PM)

No DQIX?

jj984jj · (07-09-2007, 02:27 PM)

Wow, I know there are three ports on the list, but it isn't a bad line-up. Though people always think these line-ups are all that are going to be shown for some reason.

Visualante · (07-09-2007, 02:28 PM)

Crystal Bearers should be there. Canned?

Vic · (07-09-2007, 02:28 PM)

Where is DQIX and FFIV?

John Harker · (07-09-2007, 02:28 PM)

Spring 2008 for FFCC:ROF?
Man, that's a looong dev cycle for a handheld.

Oldschoolgamer · (07-09-2007, 02:28 PM)

No "Its a Wonderful World"... ;_;

NintendoGal · (07-09-2007, 02:29 PM)

I'm wondering if some of their bigger titles will be shown at suites instead of in the hangar.

Defuser · (07-09-2007, 02:29 PM)

No FFXIII,No FF7:CC,No Dissidia...
E3 officially sucks now.

S-E isn't going to blow their load for those games yet. That's for TGS.

It has to come out in Japan first, so it's not too surprising.

Dascu · (07-09-2007, 02:30 PM)

FF:CC DS only for Spring 2008? When's it out in Japan? It looked fairly finished in the gameplay videos.

DeaconKnowledge · (07-09-2007, 02:33 PM)

Front Mission! YES!

FFCC: TCB is annoyingly not on the list, but i'm still impressed.

No video of Last Remnant?

cw_sasuke · (07-09-2007, 02:34 PM)

TGS can`t come soon enough........

rhino4evr · (07-09-2007, 02:35 PM)

so they will only have portable games playable? E3 downsized 100%

djtiesto · (07-09-2007, 02:36 PM)

Nice, Front Mission DS... only game I'm interested in on that list :)

titiklabingapat · (07-09-2007, 02:38 PM)

Looks like next-gen really did **** up SE's plans

Stupid Wii.

That's true, but home consoles damage the Playstation brand more than handhelds.

FFXIII would have been at the center stage at E3, ready for release by the end of the year if Nintendo wasn't such a revengeful bitch.

Shard · (07-09-2007, 02:45 PM)

Yea, it looks like Square Enix has already shown off all of its brand new cards, but hey, Front Mission DS.

Diablos · (07-09-2007, 02:45 PM)

Yawn. Wake me up when FFT PSP is actually released, because a few vids of an old game with new cutscenes aren't going to do much for me until it's actually in my hands.

Everything else is too far off to get excited about.

Kid Marin · (07-09-2007, 02:54 PM)

Hurrah for Front Mission !

Mar_ · (07-09-2007, 02:58 PM)

Final Fantasy Crystal Turbo EX Special Edition 2: XI/2.

I've lost all hope for SE. Well, not all. They show they can still do fantastic games. But the FF theme is wearing thin.

Saoh · (07-09-2007, 03:00 PM)

where the ****! is FFCCWii???

huuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh??? >:/

*anger rising*

Nolan. · (07-09-2007, 03:00 PM)

Why even bother. I really hope they at least have something at TGS pertaining to the next FF thats not a 3 second add on to somethng we've already seen.

jjasper · (07-09-2007, 03:01 PM)

What a shitty line up. Where is Crisis Core?

At least Front Mission is coming to the US.

Diablos · (07-09-2007, 03:02 PM)

I'm starting to as well. I really hope their model of milking out every single game that they don't have to seriously backfires and they learn their lesson. They should've just focused on a FF7 remake, and that's it.

Segata Sanshiro · (07-09-2007, 03:04 PM)

By the sounds of the description, it doesn't look like the FFXI expansion will have any new jobs. Too bad.

Diablos · (07-09-2007, 03:04 PM)

FFXI is a borefest anyway.

solarplexus · (07-09-2007, 03:08 PM)

Man, SE needs to gain some goddamn speed releasing games...and this isn't even taking Europe into account.

Tim the Wiz · (07-09-2007, 03:18 PM)

Is this it for E3 or is there still an upcoming conference for Square Enix?
