Special Final Fantasy Press Event at E3, runs at the same time as Nintendo's event

It's gonna be an hour of Yoshihisa Hashimoto detailing how awesome Noctis' hair is in the Luminous Engine. "Nomura personally signed off on the rendering of every single strand of hair. We went through over 200,000 rejects before we finally got it right!"

I would love to explore every single hairling on Versus characters.
 
Oh, this is a closed doors thing for press?


I guess they'll just be having first-look previews for the new stuff they reveal at Sony's conference ;)
 
The event is from 9 - 10 a.m. in the vicinity of E3, which means it overlaps with Nintendo's scheduling for its press event.

I guess if one hustles, one could get over to Nintendo's just in the nick of time.

...

I guess I should wear comfortable shoes that day.

Seriously... Making this event private is the worst thing they could do. What happened to "being more open with the fans"?

What're the chances they'll reveal this information to the public after the event?

Someone better leak this info! I'm serious!

If we relive the history of Square Enix announcements at E3... say, 2008 and 20009 in specific... there is typically something that happens not long after.

Please do not let me serve on a jury. I am actually a crazy person.
Please don't tell me there's still people excited about square enix.

Why else would there be five different first-page threads about Square-Enix?
Hope never dies.
Even if Square-Enix literally makes a character named Hope and (doesn't) kill him.

That's what we have Kagari for.
 
OP needs to add that this isn't a livestream, so it won't affect GAF's plans for ND.

All of the info from the SE thing will probably be posted later.

Can't wait to see what broswer games they've got up their sleeve.

Maybe if we're really lucky it will be a sequel to All the Bravest.

It'll be exclusive first looks for press and whatnot.

Loads of developers will do the same thing.
 
Square still holding a grudge on Nintendo for Yamauchi's comments, confirmed.

OP should add this is most likely the Nintendo Software Showcase which starts at 10:30AM PDT and not the Nintendo Direct which starts at 7AM PDT. An event most likely won't take place at 7AM PDT and Chris seems to refer to Nintendo's event as one you would go to, which you don't go to a Nintendo Direct lol.

No it's not. That's just how these things work.
 

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.
Isn't Nintendo Direct a livestream only thing whereas this is an event without a stream at all?

Private does not mean "everything we say is a secret." Media will be reporting what's said - that's what they're there for.
 
I almost wish E3 wasn't a thing so news can be spread out throughout the year, instead of an explosion in a couple of days.

My mind can't be taking Smash Bros, new 3D Mario and FF15 at the same time.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Final Fantasy VII Remake during Nintendo's conference to remind Nintendo of the 90s for the TROLLOLs.

iOS isn't juicy

Seriously, it's funny if they tease something on a website because most of the time, it's a browser/mobile game, but they're not going to hold an event at E3 just to show people iOS games. Though I think there are a few that'll be on the show floor though since they have that Guardian-whatever one on the Japanese E3 page.

Not a good move by Square

I... don't know if this was their choice exactly since sometimes scheduling during events like these just so happen to overlap and you're screwed out of something because of a weirdass schedule.

If its versus related everyone will be pissed :v Its been years of no shows and when they finally decide to show it...its a secret ?

Exactly. Isn't CDPR doing exactly the same thing for Witcher 3?

All this does is confirm that SE are revealing new games, tbh.

But this is different...Witcher 3 hasn't been announced Seven years ago and doesn't have enraged fans waiting for it >: ( I hope they show stuff on their Square Enix presents channel.

Oh come now, you'll get the info via the internet and SE will have some nice screenshots and the trailer uploaded on the new website by then.

It's fine.

As long as they share this info then that's fine.

I'm bitter from knowing their history. Remember those 3 screenshots we were supposed to get highlighting luminous in Versus? Did we ever get those?

I guess unless you're invited to the event, you can watch the Nintendo Direct somewhere in E3 where they're showing it without missing the FF event.

Oh and I predict:

FFX|X-2
FFXIV
LR:FFXIII
FFXV
FFXVI
Agito

The last 2 are improbable though.

You'll get them next week.

They did say "later".
:p

You'll see. Just wait a few more days, seriously.

It's not a 'secret', they'll probably be doing demos for the press, which will then be reported on straight afterwards. They've probably not got a demo for the show floor for the public and having a livestream for a demo is a bit pointless.
