Why the fuck did you bump this when there's no news?! >_<

it's a bit mean, but I forgot this was coming.

it's good though, I should have more information on final fantasy and dragon quest itadaki street special next week.

here's hoping they announce a release date, and in my dreams they confirm it for na.
 
Matsuno and Ito are directing FFXVI, confirmed. Numbering to be dropped for a new series reboot. Game will be unveiled as Final Fantasy: Arcadian Dreams. Main character is a 38 year old royal knight. Female. She's also a secret member of the assassin's guild, working to unravel the truth behind the murder of the previous king 8 years ago. Battle system uses ATB + Real Time w/ Pause. 25 party members available in the game, some optional, some hidden, some only available on certain routes. 5 main routes in the game based on key decisions during certain battles and story events. Yoshida is the character designer. Minagawa and Minaba are the art directors. Full orchrestra score by Kohei Tanaka. No FMVs. All realtime cutscenes with full motion capture. Cinematic Director: Jun Akiyama.

Coming Summer 2018.

How long have you been dreaming of this?
 
Hey since this is taking place at the same location where FFIX, X, XI were announced, who knows, they might announce FFXVI, FFXVII, FFXVIII. FFXVI by Ito, FFXVII by Toriyama, and FFXVIII by Mistwalker.

I don't even know if they will be able to get XVI out by 2020. Not holding my breath.

???????????

If you played Vagrant Story and FFXII you know why...

wtf the FFXII fmv intro is one of the best parts.
 
No hope for FFVIIR, if a trailer is shown I would be shocked if 'coming soon' was at the end of it let alone a date/year of any kind.

This is all about that sweet FFXII remaster. Maybe some more details on DLC and roadmap for XV.
 
So what are they likely to show at this event?

  • New Dissida Character Reveal
  • Dissidia Console version details/release date
  • FFXII HD release date
  • FFXV New DLC information
  • FFXIV Stormblood New Information and Trailer
  • World of Final Fantasy late port for Switch
  • New teaser for FFVII Remake

These are my guesses. Not really sure what else could possibly be shown without them breaking the boundaries of it being an anniversary event apart from further remasters of older titles.

I would be down for this .... instead we'll get a brand new episodic final fantasy game where each episode is a tiny open world with a realtime combat system, only 1-3 characters but there will be HD toilets ! :P

I am looking forward to whatever is showcased at this 30th anniversary event in all seriousness though. We won't find out anything to do with FFXVI though.

A brand new trailer for FF7R will be shown , possibility of a demo version being included with FFXII HD... which will get a final release date (I'm thinking May).

Dissidia will unveil a couple of characters as well as a console release date (for Japan)

FF8/9 will receive PS4 ports based up on the PC releases (fast forward, win buttons, etc)

FF3/4 (the DS versions) will also get PS4 ports

A trailer will be shown for all the FFXV DLC as well as announcing the major performance patch and a roadmap of what's coming in 2017 and when to expect it.

Possibly some new details on FFXIV stormblood shown off , PS4Pro patch, etc

Surprise game announcement - a full on remake of FF1 for the switch , available THIS year.

A switch port of WoFF makes too much sense. Lann and Reynn are color coordinated like the neon joycons!!!!

final fantasy and dragon quest in itadaki street special is a 30th anniversary project, so I imagine that would be shown too.
 
Square hasn't said anything about a livestream yet, but it will probably happen, considering the event's page has this little notice (Google Translated):
The state of the event (including the remarks / appearance of visitors) will be posted, recorded, broadcasted, ...
Time is 5pm JST (3am EST).

They won't show anything for Stormblood. Not with the last Fan Fest coming up so soon.

World of FF Switch port I could totally see happening and FFXV DLC info and FFXII HD release date. Not sure about Dissidia.

I'd place my bet on teaser for FFVII Remake along with a new Ivalice game (a man can dream! Hey! It's also Tactic's 20th during that event too so you never know!)
 
I'm not asking for much, but we should at least get Itou directing Final Fantasy XVI, an HD remake of Final Fantasy I overseen by Sakaguchi, Final Fantasy XIII-4, Tactics II directed by Matsuno (with confirmation that he's also going to be doing a new Ogre game once that finishes), and My Life as a King 2 for the Switch. I figure that's the minimum that Square would give us for this, right?

I said goddess not demon

Don't get upset just because your boy keeps taking Ls.

And now I hate you because that will never happen. :(
 
I remember how devastated i was when i opened up my Game Informer magazine as a kid and read that FFXI was an online PC game.

Couldn't be more devastating when FFXIV was revealed right after FFXIII's trailer only for it to be.... Online.

More devastating that 1.0 ended up being burning shit.
 
I'm really excited for this event! Feels like waiting for E3 for me. I've been in love with Final Fantasy since I was 6 years old, and no matter how bad or strange it gets, it has my undying support! Hope there are many entries to come.
 
No, she in something thats more thought out and better told than all 3 games combined.

But enough of Off-topic OP.

Any chance on that totally legit insider Verendus being right about FF6R?

Err... wasn't he pretty heavily debunked during the whole FF 15 review fiasco? I think Nomura said that it was a project he'd like to visit someday. At least I think it was him...
 
All I want is FFVIII and FFIX on PS4, pls
