Square Enix announcing several games at E3

Can I just get my Lightning Returns PC port?

...Please?

...........Hello?

(I wouldn't mind a Nier or Drakengard 3 PC port either..)

I would be happy with Kingdom Hearts Ultimate Collection HD PS4, Final Fantasy XII HD Remastered, Hitman: Profession, and a small trailer for Final Fantasy XV.

I'd be happy if they localized just one of the 5 or so 3DS games that they realistically could

Even if it's DQ8 out of the bunch
 
I guess there can't be both Hitman and Just Cause, since only one of those unannounced games is on XBONE. Crossing my fingers that the PS4/PS3/Vita game is FFXII HD.

I think you are reading that image wrong, as I did. Those platforms aren't for unannounced games, but rather for those announced ones.

They can easily fit Hitman and Just Cause 3 in there, and they probably will.

People also expected Frozen in KH3 just because the poor guy said "Frozen is great and my kids loved it" or something to that effect.

Frozen is going to be in it because it's Frozen.

Like, SE didn't need to acknowledge it then, now, or ever. That world is a given.

Hitman kinda ought to show this year. They announced the game last year, and all we've seen is artwork. In fact, the last announcement we had about it was it wouldn't be at E3 2014.

I would love the kingdom hearts games on this current gen of consoles and a release for DQ8 in NA.

How about we get the remake of VII over the enhanced port of VIII? :p

Believes Dragon Quest is a franchise managed by Sony
Any idea why SO5 is crossgen? Seems awfully far into the new generation to still be announcing crossgen games.

I mean, it'd be one thing if it were coming out within the next few months, but by the time it drops I can't imagine ps3 still being all that relevant in Japan.

Things are so dire, it'll be a miracle if PS4 reaches half of PS3's current install base. You need PS3 in japan if your developing on a home console

I honestly think, that the new Hitman will surprise people. How it'll execute the gameplay of Hitman: Blood Money with beautiful level design and an updated engine.
 
Can KH3D even be ported well? I assumed a lot of the games features could only be done on the 3DS. The lack of dual screens makes a HD port seem unlikely.

PS4 camera check
Touchpad replacing touchscreen check

But if they are porting to Xbone the touchscreen stuff would be difficult to adapt

Maybe integrate with smartphone controller?

The only franchises I care for from SE are tomb raider, KH, and FFXV (and greater since it's my first FF).

One of the things on the top of my list to see is some KH3 gameplay. Show it off, square

Hmmm I have a feeling Square Enix might show something from United Front Games too. Jen Timms has hinted (along with the actual UFG site) they were looking for people. Based on what was mentioned, I don't think it was for Triad Wars either.
 
This makes me think. What was wrong with the PC ports of Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2? I haven't started them up on my PC yet.

FFXIII ran pretty poorly (was optimized eventually but it still has a very inconsistent framerate, although it doesn't drop below 30 as easily as it used to).

XIII-2 from what I know (still didn't start that game =X) is basically like FFXIII but never got patched.

Beyond that, people were mad at the lack of graphical options and stuff.

I want LR too, but I honesty don't know if they will finish the port. A positive view would be that they saw how they botched the last two ports and are doing more to fix LR, therefore they delayed it. But a more probable view is that their Dive-In stuff didn't really take off, so they could have cancelled the port/delayed infinitely...

Seems like I should just keep my PS3 version of FFXIII, and get the PS3 versions of the sequels..

They would likely need to adapt some of the mini games to work on console, but there's nothing especially complicated. They've also made it clear they aren't afraid to cut features(like multiplayer in BBS) if it would be too much work to port something. In other good news, much like BBS, the Osaka team made KH3D, so porting it should be no problem.

Actually, as far as people said, the PC versions are still the better versions compared to the PS3 (where XIII ran at 30, the PC was almost always above that. And XIII-2 ran below 30 on the PS3 and still runs above that on PC).

And LR will probably be better on PC even with the same performance, because it has some horrible slowdowns on console.
 
Although I'm just wondering if they would announce a Xbox 1 version or not since they never released the other HD remixes on the 360.

Plus I thought the sales of FF Type-0 HD were horrible for square? Would the even bother releasing a remaster on the Xbox. I understand that KH holds a lot of weight in the West but still. I could be wrong though.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Here's hoping Kingdom Heart 3 and SaGa2015 announced for all platforms.

Was getting caught part of your plan?
If any of them are Chrono related, I will die of a heart attack.

In regards to Chrono, here are my expectations:

What's going to happen: Nothing, it's a 2 (well, technically 3) entry franchise that's been nowhere for almost 2 decades apart from a DS re-release of CT. Not so much an investment in that case.

What I want: We get an actual Chrono sequel, for better or worse.

What I strangely want even more: Full-blown Chrono Cross remake/remaster with a more refined story and ending.

I hope not, but if they do cancel or delay at least it's nice knowing that there are rumors that Type-0 HD might be announced soon and Agito is coming to PC as well so

I know this is probably a pipe dream but I would love to see Square bring back the 2D JRPG. They could start making new Chrono, Mana, even Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games in old school 2D art style. The production costs would be less than Final Fantasy XV and so on. Sell them on XBL, PSN, and e-shop for $20 each. Imagine brand new, open world games that scream 90's.

This has been a wish from me for a while now.

Even better if it's the 3D fixed perspective with pre-rendered backgrounds.

Lot's of potential for that style in regards to our current gen.

A full Kingdom Hearts collection on PS4 would be great. And I mean a full collection, 1, 2, BBS, 3D, 358/2, and Chain of Memories.

But not Re:coded. Because fuck Re:coded.

Aside from a Just Cause 3 release date, thats all I want from SE this E3.

SaGa was already announced as a Vita game =P

I wonder if they intend to localize it.

Also interesting is how the game was announced to release at 2015 and yet we saw nothing but a character design.

I hope not, but if they do cancel or delay at least it's nice knowing that there are rumors that Type-0 HD might be announced soon and Agito is coming to PC as well so
I hope not too, but it's just a possibility, considering the first two games only happened in the first place thanks to Dive-In...
