He does have a point though. All of Enix's side of games is pretty much gone (which consisted mostly of Tri-Ace and Cavia stuff).

Still, the company structure of Square Enix is much more similar to former Enix than former Square, considering Enix was the surviving company of the original merger. Still, Enix only had the Dragon Quest series to rely on in terms of multi-million game products, while Square had a few other series besides the Final Fantasy series.

Enix had been a big publisher for a long time, not just video games but comic books and other products as well. It even published some of the PSX Tomb Raider video games in Japan. Square Enix is simply following that structure, by becoming a big publisher of a variety of products in the West as well as its homeland.

Spoiler

If anything, it's more appropriate to rename SE as Enix than anything else.

Demon's Score first ever footage? (iOS game in UE3)

So it's a music game that is sometimes a shooter?

 

[RPGCrazied]

So, looks like that rumor for that HD Kingdom Hearts Remix or whatever is false. :/

 

[VertPin]

So...when is Square Enix's e3 showing? link?

 

[Reveirg]

So...when is Square Enix's e3 showing? link?

I don't think they have one... lol.

They've been almost completely absent from the big conferences (Tomb Raider was the only game I think). Square-Enix Japan showed NOTHING, they're completely irrelevant this E3. I didn't think they could fall lower than last year, but they did...

 

[Bukana]

No Vita & FF-Type 0 announcements make me sad

 

[Perfect Blue]

Biggest disappointment for me was no Thief 4.

 

[Bladenic]

SE continuing to be flops. Still no Type-0? What in God's name could possibly keep them from telling us something? Waste.

Any footage of Dimensions? That's what I'm most interested in from them since it's coming out soon and should be a good old style FF adventure. Though if they charge 15 dollars they can fuck right off.

Agreed.

Although, depending how large of a game Dimensions is, I'd be willing to reconsider.

From their "closed doors" meeting:

 

[Yamauchi]

What a crap list.

It doesn't even seem like it was that long ago--12 years now I guess--when Square and Enix both made games I was somewhat interested in.

How the mighty have fallen.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

A picture from their "closed doors" meeting:

goin all out with the stage i see :lol

edit: what's the tech demo for?
I want it.. it looks pretty

 

[jiggle]

oooo pretty
should make a new thread for that?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Final Fantasy XV tech demo?

It might well be. Luminous engine is their 'next gen' engine!

 

[raven777]

From their "closed doors" meeting:

Ok if thats real-time than it looks great. I love the art style as well.

Hope we get this as a game.

 

[Bukana]

Oh shit, Kingdom Hearts 10th & Final Fantasy 25h Anniversary:

 

[BlazingDarkness]

WHATS HAPPENING

Could it be...? O:

 

[B.K.]

They should have remade the Final Fantasy VII opening again for that tech demo.

 

[Nakazato]

They should have remade the Final Fantasy VII opening again for that tech demo.

oh god

 

[Goli]

They should have remade the Final Fantasy VII opening again for that tech demo.

No, they should have FFIX's opening ;-;.

 

[Bladenic]

People getting excited for nothing already. When will you all learn? SE are masters of the fake hype over nothing though.

 

[Busaiku]

I want that cake.

 

[B.K.]

oh god

Imagine the meltdowns from the VII fanboys and girls. It would have been hilarious.

 

[fushi]

Any place I can get a nice visual list of all the Squeenix titles at E3? Along the lines of e3.nintendo.com, perhaps.

I'm also assuming that closed doors presentation wasn't filmed?

Just unfucking-believable.

Could it be...? O:

So they don't show any of the titles that fans have been clamoring for, and instead have some insular, closed doors show where they show off an impressive-looking, yet confusing tech demo? I mean, is this just a tech demo for the sake of making a tech demo or is it a game that's gonna come out? If so, for what system? (I don't need to ask 'when', I know it'll be about 15 years away.)

Oh shit, Kingdom Hearts 10th & Final Fantasy 25h Anniversary:

So...does this entail releasing any sort of a special collection/game for each series, or do the anniversary celebrations only consist of a logo and a herp-derpy cake?

EDIT:

Just wanted to ad that at the Agnis Philsophy page there's a link for a survey with a comments section. I figure it's as good a place as any to let them know that a lot of us are still waiting for FFVIIremake, FFVersusXIII and KHIII.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I can't believe Type-0 really isn't coming over. Is the Final Fantasy brand this dead?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I can't believe Type-0 really isn't coming over. Is the Final Fantasy brand this dead?

You have your priorities totally whacked out man. Type-0 isn't a cell phone game, social browser game, an MMORPG, a DLC-infested-unwated-sequel, or some vague tech-demo that may or may not lead to anything 15 years from now. Ergo, Type-0 is not important.

 

[Eusis]

I half expect they'll announce a Type-0 updated port to 3DS and/or Vita at TGS or in Jump, THEN they'll say we're getting that version. Though given how we have yet to get the game it'd seem like we should be the priority here.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I can't believe Type-0 really isn't coming over. Is the Final Fantasy brand this dead?

No, but Sony's handheld line is. Expect an announcement of a 3DS port and localisation at tomorrow's 3DS showcase.

Spoiler

Don't actually expect it.

 

[creid]

They're hawking the Luminous Engine already? After all the time they spent on the White Engine, did they make more than 2 games with it?

 

[Pooya]

They made XIII, XIII-2 and XIV with it, they are redoing XIV in a new engine.
The engine is probably the root of most of their production problems actually, they needed a new one. The whole Square Enix and Eidos will use the new engine, they hired people from places like DICE (Frostbite 2) to work on this, nobody will miss Crystal Tools

 

[creid]

What a disaster. Glad they seem to be moving forward.

 

[Derrick01]

I want Sleeping Dogs so badly.

Same. That and Hitman had pretty good showings and even Tomb Raider didn't look that bad. Square-Eidos has some great games in the pipeline.

I'll echo the disappointment from Thief not showing AT ALL. How goddamned long are they going to work on it before even showing a CG trailer let alone actual gameplay?

 

[Mzo]

I can't believe Type-0 really isn't coming over. Is the Final Fantasy brand this dead?

What happened to this?

They sunk a hell of a lot of money into developing that beastly 2 UMD game. This needs to come over in one way or another. Do a fat, stupid CE for people like me and put it on PSN for Vita owners.

=[ =[ =[

 

[kruis]

I can't believe Type-0 really isn't coming over. Is the Final Fantasy brand this dead?

I was absolutely convinced SE would give us updates on both FF Type 0 and the HD remake of FF X (for Vita!). And they've got nothing. What a great way to celebrate FF's 25th anniversary ...

 

[ctrayne]

[Glass Rebel]

Thief might show up at Gamescom or next year's GDC like DX:HR's second teaser. Might be better venues for Thief tbh.

 

[Kagari]

Nomura couldn't even be bothered to come out this year, it's hilarious.

 

[Mario007]

Nomura couldn't even be bothered to come out this year, it's hilarious.

Isn't it that he rarely comes out? I know there was a big deal made out of him coming the 2010 E3, so I assume he rarely comes to E3.

 

[Cornbread78]

Seriously. Come on guys.

Yeah seriously, this is SE, why bother asking, it could be another 5 years.....

 

[Derrick01]

Nah Eidos is actually run pretty well and consistent like most successful western studios. They probably just wanted to focus on their next 3 games for now.

so....KH3D for KH10th, TRFF (and FF Dimensions) for FF25th....that's it?

Don't forget the cake for Kingdom Hearts. Maybe they are waiting until the 3DS game is out before saying anything about an HD collection... but that rumor a few days ago got to me, I really was hyped for that. Never again though. Rumors can suck it. So, what does SE Japan have to show? All I can think of is Eidos stuff. I'm quite surprised we didn't see an XIII-3 or more DLC for XIII-2. Maybe SE Japan is on vacation.

Still better than what Metroid got.

And I think Megaman, too.
