If there really isn't anything more that's substantial I'm going to laugh.

SE and Tabata have been very upfront about there not being a PC port/release at this moment.

They stated they want the game to be out first and shit like that, unless there was a new one the thing that hinted at a steam release this year was left over shit from tomb raider. The Verge article is the only article I've seen that mentions PC and the fact that the Gamespot video said nothing about PC makes me think the Verge thing about PC is bull.

There will be a PC port not a simultaneous release or even this year, I expect probably year late port or something.

So is there any point in watching the thing tonight then? One of my friends was reallllly hyped about this. Don't know whether to text this to her.

It's coming to PC. It just won't be there on console day 1.

Leaks or not there's still more to show...dunno how any of this would be considered "unfortunate" or would be a loss of hype for anyone.

Fairly sure you'll get more than a 30 second blip and an animated wall scroll.

There will be more. you don't fill a 1-2 event with the announcement of a demo and the release date. This will also be an update on the game. Probably showing parts of the world and various things in a near complete state. CE info, Maybe cast info and other things.

Considering this was hailed as being an information blowout, I doubt it was just to give the date and info regarding the next demo. Demo was something people just GUESSED might be talked about, and the date was something tossed around as being "Oh yeah, and at the event, we are also going give the actual release date!". They made it seem like this was going to be about WAY more than just that. They said the reason they skipped a lot of new info/trailers in past game shows was because of this March event.

But yeah, if people are jumping the gun(wouldn't be the first time for Final Fantasy fans to do so), and think this is it and the event's a bust, well, don't watch it. Skip it! Go ahead, I DARE YA!

P.S. Also don't complain tomorrow when you are proven to be wrong!

wow what do you guys think was square's plan? stand up there say "ok so the game comes out September 30th and here's a teaser for a demo you can play right now! have a good night ya'll be excited" walk off the stage and thats it?

Clearly not. its a 1-2 hour show! they will be having discussions about gameplay details, systems, probably more story synopsis, showing off how far the game has come, announcing stuff, showing stuff... just because we know the release date how does that make the event not worth watching?

Right. There's definitely more...people are so panicky.

There's definitely a few more videos at least.

The last time someone at Squareenix said "Please Be excited" was a total fail.

Pretty sure they're also in on the joke

If she doesn't know about the leaks, then definitely don't tell her.
There will be more, if your friend doesn't know don't ruin the surprise for her.

I don't honestly believe there'll be much more, but I'm not gonna do that to her. I just hope someone else doesn't at this point. Others may not have so much tact.
 
Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great, Please let the demo be great.

I really hope this game and The Last Guardian succeed despite going through development issues for 10 years.

They worked really hard to get this event almost like if it was the Oscars and it's sad that so many people will not watch it anymore now that they know the release date :( I will watch it and I will be excited af!

I'm going to sleep now, I'll wake up by 3:50, see you all of you then. I'm so hyped I'll probably dream about getting the game or something.

Still wondering if a possible X-3 or XVI announcement could be here. Probably not.

I just want a PC day and date port. I really don't want a cinematic 26fps PS4 experience.

Well, that's ws all the info I needed from this event. Glad I was saved the time of having to watch through the thing for a release date.

Hopefully the demo shows the improvements over the significant faults of Duscae.

Serious question: Why would you even watch it if you only wanted the release date?
I know it's called "Final Fantasy Uncovered", but is there a chance there will be other SE games mentioned or announced, to take advantage of the event?
It's called Final Fantasy XV Uncovered, so there probably won't even be other Final Fantasy games there.

Yeah they've been talking about this for so long I imagine they must be pretty bummed. I hope they've got a nice trailer to still make this something worth watching.
