Kinda sorta interested in Quantum Conundrum. Tomb Raider to a lesser extent.
If FF Dimensions was on WP7 I'd probably check that out. But nothing is on WP7.

I'm pretty much going to call them Square-Eidos from now on. It's a better fit for their name. Does Enix even provide anything of value anymore other than the occasional Dragon Quest game? They're not worthy of being in the company name anymore with Eidos bringing the heat.

I would bank on Thief being there. It would be bad if it doesn't show up at all.

The World Ends With You Too is obviously missing because it's going to be a surprise announcement at Nintendo's conference as a Wii U launch title.

It better be. I could see them waiting for Gamescom though.
Well, they're hiring like madmen at Eidos Montreal so maybe one day.

The list is just PR stuff for things that's already revealed, it's not going to list stuff that's not been announced yet

How fucked would SE be without Eidos?

To me the below quote is exactly my personnal problem with their direction:
They took two of the best and most accomplished jRPG companies on the planet, put them together and no longer make jRPGs. Everything they have been doing this gen is to appeal to a Western audiance IMO. Seriously, I used to buy almost every jRPG they made, just because it was made by Square or Enix... now it's a joke... Even their niche' games like Radiata Stories were great plays. It's really sad to see when people still want jRPGs, even in a "ADD" society..
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It's sad because SE will forever be branded as a JRPG company in people's eyes (even if they did acquire Eidos, people usually see Eidos as a separate entity). Square Enix' attempts of non-JRPGs were mostly failures and/or had little-to-no fans (Mindjack, Front Mission: Evolved, the cancelled Gunloco). Dunno if Dissidia counts though.

I reckon this list may be not complete after all.
For a start Dragon quest X is missing, and I know Wii's version is likely not to come out of Japan, still I would expect at least a short trailer, since it's due to release in a few months iirc.

Is dimensions pretty much those final fantasy mobile games of the past year or so that kinda looks like ff4-5?
At this E3? If anything they're going to show the Wii U version at E3, and that sure as hell isn't going to be this year. That would mute out any hype there is for the Wii version right now, for Japan at least.

No, it's a smartphone/tablet game.

You wish. They can't even get FF X HD out. It's been over a year since they announced it.

Versus is vaporware.
Still enough to get me over. More Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider can't be a bad thing, and hopefully we get a Hitman stage demo.

Touch, because I'm usually out & about if I'm playing 'em.
I am picking up an iCade though as I've found myself playing my iPad more and more at home.

I think it's blatantly obvious now that SE still makes JRPGs, they simply lack the talent, resources, or management to successfully make a string of HD console RPGs.
Their 2D and handheld stuff uses SNES to PS2 level resources, and by and large those games are still very good.
If Nintendo's DQ distribution deal is still in place then any DQ-related stuff will be part of Nintendo's announcements.

Pls do them an interview and mention how come Square Enix is distancing from JRPGs when they're almost purely known for that.

They did the old 'let's announce it after drawing some cool designs for it and actually we've got shit all else to show for it' like they did with XIII/Versus XIII and their CG trailers back when most of us were still in full time education
Instead of being sane and revealing it X months before release like everyone else
To be fair, I was expecting Sleeping Dogs to be the sort of title which was left off to be a surprise at an E3 show. Thief strikes me as a little low-key for E3, wonderful though the series is.
Very curious about the lack of FFXHD, although that might be left off due to intending to show it off at Sony's show; I thought it'd be the figurehead of the next wave of Vita content.

Can it not also be said that Edios would be fucked without S-E? Were they not going under before the buy out?
Over a year ? They announced it last fall.

Alright, Eidos. Gotcha.
Someone said something about Square Enix's list?

i'm hoping the iCade Mobile turns out nice, i'm planning on picking one up whenever it finally releases.

September of last year, ok, not over a year, but damn near a year. Not even a remake. Shouldn't take that long.
After milking FF to death over the years with annual spin-offs, I think they need a break. They would only be digging a bigger grave for their franchises.
Sleeping Dogs is due for release in like two months, there's no surprise to be had.

With each planet inhabited by all manner of enemies and hazards, the player must navigate Wiz and Waz across a number of ill-positioned obstacles including rocks, slime, bombs and trampolines.
Sleeping Dogs just got a 5 minute in depth gameplay trailer and it's been previewed a bit already. There's not much of a surprise left there. We still haven't seen anything tangible of Thief yet and it could be set up well in a demo.
I'm just worried they'll go the Absolution route with it. It's terrifying to think of the possibility.

My thoughts exactly, besides they couldn't put in that list anything under NDAs.
Xbox360Achievements posted achievements for "Final Fantasy" for WP7. Probably just the FF1 game going around, but it's a start. With achievements!
