Square Enix CEO teases 'surprise' new console JRPG, 'charged' for E3

I love how no one can get hyped over a Square tease anymore. Hype train for Square announcements this E3 is gonna look like this:

As much as I want FFXII HD, this better be something wholly original. You don't tease a remaster announcement three months out.

Then again, you also don't announce a no-frills PC port like it's some big thing. This fucking company.

You don't show off a game before rebranding it like 5 years later and then still not having it out for another few years after that.
 
It depends on the scale of the game. If it's meant to be a smaller scale digital title, it could be out by the end of this year. If it's something more substantial, then it could be announced this year and released next year. A two year dev cycle for a full console game which is well staffed and well managed would be normal. Of course we're talking about Square Enix here, so who knows. :p

Ah okay cool, that sounds good, but yeah the bolded is the scary part

I wanna say Dragon Quest XI but after the FFVII troll (and many others from Square-Enix) i'm going to keep my expectations in check.

A JRPG "Announced at E3" and released at the end of the 2015 fiscal year? it has to be an HD remake. My money is on Final Fantasy 12.

Matsuda didn't say if it'll be announced at E3, which means it probably won't. I imagine they'd want to just focus on FFXIV, FFXV and KH3 at this upcoming E3.

Thread title can be a little misleading.
 
Please stop announcing games so early and just get the projects you've spent years upon years delaying out already.

It's going to be Type-1, game just came out stateside today, what better time to tease a sequel we already know thats coming?

Hoping for: Dragon Quest or Type-1.

Not getting my hopes too high though. FFVII troll made me distrustful of S-E's announcements.

The wording of his statement is that there will be news about the mystery game in 2015, not that it will be released in 2015 fiscal year.

FF7: Lightening edition. Cloud replaced by Lightening, though she's wearing his outfit. She'll be the only graphical upgrade the game gets.

Sad thing is, people would actually buy it.
