Then it will suck. I am getting tired of all the Destiny focus in their conferences.I guarantee you Destiny will have a huge E3 blowout, and at the Sony conference no doubt as they have a marketing/exclusive content deal.
Praise be to Yevon.

I see you enjoy living life on the saber's edge.
Matsuda-san also admitted that Square Enix may have been too focused on globalizing its target, losing focus on who they were making games for. He brought Hitman Absolution as an example for 2013. The game was created with the idea of having a wider appeal and gain popularity with new users, however best part of the Hitman games is that they are very hardcore games, and many fans were frustrated when focus on that was lost, causing the Absolution to struggle with Sales.

I'm certainly hyped, and have been since the original announcement. Actually, probably moreso now that I have the PS4 and know how the system is capable of running. Have Bungie said if PS4 has been the lead platform for development?Sony are treating Destiny like an exclusive, and rightfully so - it's going to be huge.

Please be excited.
Really? Only now they realized this?Matsuda-san continued with a very interesting statement about the global appeal of JRPGs:
He mentioned that there are games like Bravely Default with solid JRPG elements made for the Japanese market that sold well worldwide. Although there are regional differences, and it wasnt very visible until recently, Japanese RPG fans are spread all over the world. When the latest information is released in Japan, fans everywhere in the world can receive it instantly (youre welcome, Matsuda-san). No matter if youre in North America, Europe or South America, theres no information gap.
According to Matsuda-san, if all those customers are summed up, they are a good number, and it looks less like a niche market. He believe that for games developed in the future, having powerful and rich stories that are very JRPG-like can create good results if theyre focused properly on the right target.
Can't rule out any of those titles but there should be a decent mix of other genres
What a discovery!Japanese RPG fans are spread all over the world
nbnt said:Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III News Coming at E3 #1
I almost read it as "could be possible" but not actually having it 100% confirmed.
This is how I read it in the original Nikkei article.

Why would he even mention E3 in the context of those games if it wasn't very, very likely they'd have some news to share, though?
In any case, this was a surprisingly good read. It's rare that I go through a Yosuke Matsuda article without cringing. He seemed to actually take a surprisingly long view with his statements.
It practically says "We're considering".
*sheHey if you waited as long as he did you too would lose confidence!

She bet you that it wouldn't show up at e3???It's a bet that was made with Kagari way earlier this year.
I'm sure you could drop Assassin's Creed 19 for a Final Fantasy.at this rate, if they do it will be a tight fit so hard to say

Well to be fair, this is the most level headed any of us has seen Matsuda. He normally is a by the numbers kind of guy, with interviews that seem incredibly out of touch with fans. This, however, seems like he woke up to one of the most obvious truths of the current JRPG landscape. It's a no brainer, yes, but it's good to see progress from a guy, who used to count money all day long.People told me he is worse than Wada and he's gonna make S-E even worse, so why is he saying all these reasonable things?
The "JRPGs are not actually such a niche market" and "we focused in the wrong direction with Hitman" isn't something you expect to hear from a CEO. It's actually pretty surprising and as a fan I'm happy to see they are getting it.
In before pessimistic Kagar... oh wait.
As Bravely Default has been doing so well, we have decided to turn FFXV back into a traditional JRPG with turn based combat....see you in 2017!
This news would make me very very sad
I'm an optimist. The time is right - it's been a year without substantial info so it makes perfect sense to showcase some more XV. KHIII I'm not even too concerned with at the moment, though. If it's there, great!
He doesn't explicitly say news is coming at E3, only that it's possible.
