To everyone complaining about the lack of Japanese output here, you realize if it were there, no journalists at E3 would actually report on it, right?

It might be indicative of a switch in total focus for SE or it might be that they know E3 is an American show and only the biggest Japanese titles will get any positive attention there.

[michaeltraps]

List looks good to me, looking forward to seeing more Tomb Raider and that FF iOS game seems interesting. Pleasantly surprised actually,

Spoiler

though I wasn't in the LEAST holding out for Versus or Type-0 release. I've learned to like SE much more now that I don't consider them a Dragon Quest/FF making machine, because they're not anymore.

 

[Goli]

Yay for Final Fantasy Dimensions. Sort of disappointed that Star Burial Dragnir and Kakusansei Million Arthur aren't there but oh well.

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

Final Fantasy Dimensions had not been revealed till now, unless I missed the announcement.

EDIT: I can't believe how little faith people have in FFD );, specially since like @MUWANdo said is probably the localized name for Final Fantasy Legends 光と闇の戦士 which looks totally sweet and awesome http://www.square-enix.co.jp/mobile/ff/ffl/
EDIT2: Oh so it IS. http://www.square-enix.co.jp/smart/ffdl/

 

[bubnbob]

They discussed Final Fantasy Dimensions, Demon's Score and others at TGS or some other event. I guess this is the first that it's coming across, but most if not all if their iOS outings have made the jump so I'm not surprised.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Final Fantasy Dimensions had not been revealed till now, unless I missed the announcement.

The name itself has definitely come out before, but I forget if it was associated with any game in particular.

Yes but those were in trademark findings right? SE never actually announced anything.

 

[djtiesto]

I never thought I'd see the day when the most interesting (to my tastes) game in a S-E lineup is a Tomb Raider game. I remember stopping by SE's booth in '06, and playing stuff like FF3 DS, FF12, Silmeria and Kingdom Hearts 2.

Hopefully they still have some surprise announcements in store for us, but I doubt it.

 

[Acquiescence]

I'll be happy to see more of Sleeping Dogs and Tomb Raider, but that's about it really.

 

[Acosta]

Funny how fast iOS/Android has become the dominant handheld platform for publishers. I haven't see so much products for a handheld in a E3 in many years.

Where is Type-0? SE wouldn't let such a game to not get localized, right?

That's not true.

 

[ShipTheCheese]

Don't worry Squeenix, you can always try again next year.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

This is the E3 that happens to be in the same year they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY...... and yet what do we get?

Oh SE, how the hell you are thinking?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I thought last year Square Enix was complaining about the lack of their JPN games at e3? They didnt remedy that this year?

I don't understand how they are ignoring the PS Vita platform as a third party, they ought to support it.

They did, with two launch titles.

They also have FFX in development for it, along with another unannounced PS3/Vita game from Japan.

This is the E3 that happens to be in the same year they are celebrating the 25th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY...... and yet what do we get?

Oh SE, how the hell you are thinking?

There's always TGS I suppose... but then, the 20th anniversary gave us what... a bunch of PSP ports?

 

[jiggle]

what amazing celebration for FF's 25th they got planned

September of last year, ok, not over a year, but damn near a year. Not even a remake. Shouldn't take that long.

needing nomura's approval on the movement of every single strand of hair takes time

 

[michaelius]

pathetic...
they better have some hidden annoucments

What a weird thing to say, I think the press would report on promising games that are there, regardless of origin country? That's what they've always done, that's what they'll keep doing.

And even if we were to accept that premise of bias against all but the biggest Japanese games (which I don't), Square-Enix used to make exactly these.

 

[Ponn]

FF games for iOS, thats what you get. Actually the way they are treating the FF 25th anniversary and KH 10th anniversary is a pretty good indicator of how they are treating their properties all together. Over half that list should be scrapped and they should be focused like a lens on their main properties.

 

[ULTROS!]

There's always TGS I suppose... but then, the 20th anniversary gave us what... a bunch of PSP ports?

Didn't they give us FFVII:CC?

So if they were to announce a Kingdom Hearts 3 (on PS3/XBox) and/or Dragon Quest 11 (on PS3/XBox) or even a Legand of Mana..... there would be no Western gaming interest in that? A new, fresh IP RPG would definately get interest as well....

 

[Combichristoffersen]

I guess I'm kinda interested in Tomb Raider, at least.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

At least they already gave us XIII-2 this year....

Spoiler

Where's X HD? I want to see some of that.

 

[Guri]

Why people aren't so interested in Quantum Conundrum?

 

[The Praiseworthy]

There's always TGS I suppose... but then, the 20th anniversary gave us what... a bunch of PSP ports?

Thinking about it, they really ran out of classic 2D FINAL FANTASY to port....

Anyway I'm still hoping for at less a teaser announcement about the series with a big reveal at some big events they are going to throw at some time in this year.

Because they really need to give us something about FFXIV 2.0 PS3 and Type 0 and Versus and FFX HD and of course.... announce XIII-3.

 

[Kagari]

Didn't they give us FFVII:CC?

That didn't have the 20th anniversary branding on it.

These are the games that came out with it: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_20th_Anniversary

They're finally showing this. Nice. I hope it's good.

 

[zroid]

No Bravely Default?

FUCK

/wrists

 

[genjiZERO]

well at least they aren't whoring Final Fantasy again...

 

[Midou]

I love how they were like pretending for the 20th anniversary of various titles they were going to do an enhanced port, but they stopped at the title that has been remade 7 times already and didn't even do FFV which they've basically never done anything with, or FFVI which you know, they've done the same amount with, but it's one of the most popular. Dammit SE, very few actual good games developed this gen, and you even fail at remakes.

 

[FieryBalrog]

Squeenix's most exciting games by far are Hitman and Tomb Raider.

Let the irony sink in.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

E3.


Please look forward to it.

 

[ZenaxPure]

Squeenix's most exciting games by far are Hitman and Tomb Raider.

If by Hitman and Tomb Raider you mean KH 3D and Theatrhythm, then sure!

Anyhow, if Final Fantasy Dimensions is indeed that mobile game that has been around forever with the light/dark parties I am really looking forward to finally getting that. Just hope it is compatible with older iTouches.

 

[Kagari]

E3.


Please look forward to it.

;-;

 

[Takuan]

No Type-0 is a travesty.

 

[King Boo]

still no last remnant 2?

 

[zroid]

If by Hitman and Tomb Raider you mean KH 3D and Theatrhythm, then sure!

true, but they're already out in Japan and have US release dates this summer... that's not exactly what you consider an "E3 game"

 

[Anth0ny]

Awful list. Can't believe they aren't even showing XIV 2.0.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Awful list. Can't believe they aren't even showing XIV 2.0.

doesn't the US Beta for 2.0 start later this year? Seems like a great opportunity to get people to give a rats ass about FFXIV again.

Yeah... strange move, but then again... this is S-E we're talking about.

 

[Caelestis]

I find it hard to care anymore. There is not one thing that interests me in that line-up.

 

[nelsonroyale]

Squeenix reveals E3 lineup! ...not a single Squeenix console game!

exactly...bloody pathetic

 

[ULTROS!]

That didn't have the 20th anniversary branding on it.

These are the games that came out with it: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_20th_Anniversary

Must have mixed it with FFVII's 10th anniversary.

And yeah, that's the most FFs we ever got in a year for this gen.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

it's best for all S-E fans to just sit back, be patient, and wait for Wada to get his pink slip.


Oh... and enjoy Eidos in the meantime.

 

[Criminal Upper]

SE would be completely irrelevant if it weren't for Eidos.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

A disgusting amount of iOS games. A never ending downward spiral for Square-Enix.

 

[Alrix]

Quantum Conundrum, Tomb Raider, THEATRHYTHM Final Fantasy, Heroes of Ruin, Kingdom Hearts 3D. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. Always a chance we get some surprises, though, right? the amount of mobile games is scary, too.

crossing fingers for SE megatons.

 

[Lady Bird]

So, what are the japanese square dev teams up to? There's an unannounced action game using the unreal engine, an unannounced game for ps3/ vita, "a secret team working on a secret project" (said Nomura), FFvXIII, and possibly whatever title to conclude FFXIII's story mess, and...?

Is there any possibility for a big surprise?

 

[ZenaxPure]

true, but they're already out in Japan and have US release dates this summer... that's not exactly what you consider an "E3 game"

Hey, all he said was "exciting games", not their E3 presence! I'm super excited for those 2.

 

[Randy]

Sleeping Dogs is going to be sooo good. Mark my words.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Quantum Conundrum, Tomb Raider, THEATRHYTHM Final Fantasy, Heroes of Ruin, Kingdom Hearts 3D. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. Always a chance we get some surprises, though, right? the amount of mobile games is scary, too.

Honestly doesn't sound like it this time.

APZonerunner, who gets the hot insider news from time to time regarding all things S-E, said the other day that they really have nothing set aside in their schedule for 'surprises'.

The only exception would be a FFXIV-E3 2010 style reveal. Apparently that's one of the rare things they kept completely under-wraps. Even that info was leaked to those in-the-know a couple days prior to the show (correct me if I'm wrong, APZonerunner.)

Still, all signs point to "please don't look forward to it".
