Yeah but the way the game is progressing now, I think we will get something interesting. Yoshi is such a proud dad and FFXIV is his baby girl now so he can't wait to show her off XD
Take away Eidos and what do you have left? 2 3DS games and 2 games that aren't very popular anyways.
I just think it's a terrible E3 lineup when Eidos has to carry them.
Once again, these are internal studios at this stage. SE finances them, hell they have the split the resources between these studios and their japanese studios (their first fruits of this buy-out are only coming out now as the games from Eidos are releasing). It only makes sense that SE wants to market the shit out of them.
As I've said, it's a great line-up, just not what you'd expect when you think Square-Enix.
No FF XIV, no FF Vs XIII.. Will the Japanese branch of SE even have anything for home consoles this E3?
Perhaps more dlc for XIII-2?

XIII-2 DLC is completed.
So far you are the only one I've seen saying it's a good lineup. That's fine for you but for me it's a terrible one and I'm not really excited about any of it since I don't have a 3DS. Tomb Raider is the only thing that I'll be interested in.
Unless they pull out a big surprise or something I'll consider this a bad E3 for SE.
Perhaps more dlc for XIII-2?
FF13-3
believe!
The PS3 version is never releasing, sorry. Feel bad if people were holding out hope that since Square's E3 press release omitted FF 14, they must be keeping several other unannounced games close to the chest.

That's certainly a possibility since SE loves giving people what no one asked for or wanted.

I want it. I want them to finish this XIII trilogy
But at the moment, I am not holding out much hope
And just to be the ultimate troll SE announces that they're doing a remake of FF 5, FF 6 and FF 8
It's unquestionably a great line-up but we're in a thread about a Final Fantasy. Of course the fans of FF won't necessarily overlap with fans of Hitman or Tomb Raider or Sleeping Dogs (i.e. open world GTA-styled games). Simply two different demographics for those games.
I'm sorry, but there's very little about that line-up that screams great. As a long time SE fan, this is as bad a lineup as I've seen them put out in many years.
I think Valiant Saga: Final Fantasy will be there is rumors are true.

Erm... that was a blatant fake.

What was this fake? First time hearing anything with that name (though it's a fake so it's not like it matters then)
They'll sell you XIII-3 as DLC chapters.
There will be no lube.
Enjoy.
HD version of Dirge of Cerberus incoming.

edit:
This means it is not going to muck up vanafest too thank god. This is good news. New expansion for XI LET'S GO!!
haha the only remake that has 'FFVII' in its name that SE will ever release.
Btw, their best bet would be to release it as a XIII-2 expansion actually. We'll never get the sales figures so no 'bomba' threads and thus more damage to FF brand and 'SE ruined FF' talk. It satisfies the fans of XIII-2 and won't take away too many resources. But that makes too much sense

I actually bought the Crystal Edition of FF XIII-2, so I'm part of the problem :lol I haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but I really liked the demo. Not a huge fan of the nickel and diming DLC approach SE has taken towards XIII-2 though, even if it makes financial sense for them (I guess they need something to offset the losses incurred by FF XIV bombing and Vs XIII never coming out).

I'm still hoping for a HD version of FF XII, but since that's something people are actually asking for, SE will offer a Windows Mobile port of FF 8 instead.
Please Sony, never again use any Square Enix games in the future for your press conference announcements. Either they go multiplat after years of development (FF XIII), or they are vaporware (versus XIII, FF XIV PS3). Really pathetic.
I bought the Crystal Edition version myself... and I regret nothing (though I might regret it if they don't do a follow-up and give closure to it >_< )
However if they announced a port of FF8 for Windows Mobile, I'd rage (I like FF8 but porting it to windows mobile is just not needed >_< )
I wonder if there's any remote chance of an XV announcement in some (very early!) form.
I can think of dozens of good reasons *not* to do one, of course - Versus is still somewhere in a bizarre limbo, XIV needs to find its feet again, the FFX remake is due at some point (and that might be something they show off this E3 from the Japanese side of things and 'new') - but at the moment there's nothing really brewing in terms of 'normal' FF development, and a part of me thinks they'd like to at least acknowledge that XV will exist.
Further musings: Which department did the My Life As A... games, and what have they been working on lately?
