In other words, wait till Sony conference for the rebranding of Versus XIII as Final Fantasy XV.
Will this event be streamed?

Its gotta be Versus, and its gonna disappoint people its not on the PS4 but current gen.
Ah ok, i guess this could be a reason lol.
The only thing that would excite me is ff type 0 on vita localized
At this point I'd be more surprised if it still comes to PS3 than Wii U...
I can exclusively reveal Wii U is getting Final Fantasy Versus Crystal!
It is actually also a 3DS eShop title, it will be the first PS4/Wii U crossplay title! You're tasked with the grandest of missions, to sweep the floor in Noctis' crystal room while PS4 players take on the traditional boring hero forty hour RPG crap!
$79 and it launches day and date with the PS4 game.
Please be excited.

Im dying over here hahaha
Sony Conf: Reveal
Private meeting: Demo
TGS: Public demo. Maybe.
I'm assuming it comes out next year.
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.
This is kinda like the closed mega theatre thing methinks.
So yeah, this won't bother the Nintendo Direct thing unless you're at E3.
I...iOS! Aha I knew it! FFvXIII iOS confirmed!

Then who cares if it runs the same time as the Nintendo one. Isn't that one streamed? So just watch the Nintendo one, and after I'm sure the news from the Final Fantasy stream will be out.
Such things shouldn't even be joked upon.
I can't help but wonder what the gaming side of the internet would look like the day after that gets announced.
I don't know man...Would you really be ok just reading about the game without actually seeing it ? What makes that so different from back when wada tweeted about how "the presentation of the city would know you off your feet"
If its something new we haven't seen before it would be fine...Just not versus please SE
Well put it in the OP, mod!

You'd think people would get the idea of private events for the press after years of dealing with closed Mega Theater stuff.

Can you update the thread title w/ this or OP?
SE would be stealing press from the Nintendo event.

Why people would debating about picking nintendo or square-enix. I thought Square-Enix is planning to host Final Fantasy event during Nintendo's Press Event, NOT Nintendo Direct. Am I right?

Honestly, if they did that... some members of the press could get hostile, lol.
You're right, but the Final Fantasy event has overlap with the Nintendo one. (it will be ending just as the Nintendo one starts or something)
I don't think this was planned to try to take away press from the Nintendo event at all... there are a lot of things like this during E3 and sometimes scheduling can get wonky.

With SE, it's always iOS until proven otherwise.

Well, I'm talking about people in this thread since they don't have any press invitions to the events. However it shouldn't be problem for huge websites like IGN, etc since they can send few people to few different events at same time. I know it would suck if you missed out something.

That's good, because the only other option is to not watch the Nintendo one.
Back when Square was relevant, this would have been a hard choice for some I imagine. Now, not really that hard. Mario Kart, Mario 3D, SSB trump FF.
well if the rumors are accurate they will play a big role in Sonys, so i guess between this and Sonys show they dont see a need.

Seems like they can send different people if they can... otherwise, they'll have to run from the Final Fantasy event to the Nintendo one.
They think it's a streamed event... this is a side-effect of Nintendo Directs. :|
The press have multiple journalists @ E3, not everyone needs to attend every press event.
Well, thats a shame. Not even a restrictive Nico Nico one that asks for money every 30 seconds?

So, do we know if this is actually during the Direct, or during Nintendo's press event?

All of this only affects the press. The time overlap is not with Nintendo direct. It's overlapping Nintendo's live hands-on press event.

Umm, what? Poor planning on Square-Enix's part. No matter how one might feel about Nintendo, the press knows good and well that their showing, good or bad, will generate far more website hits than news about the latest Lightning Versus XIII whatever game. I'm not trying to downplay the popularity of Final Fantasy in anyway, but a lot of eyes are on Nintendo right now because this is really their last chance to drum up any kind of excitement for the Wii U. If they succeed, it's interesting news. If they fail, it's interesting news. Either way, it's a better option to cover Nintendo during this time slot.

This is NOT NINTENDO DIRECT, but the other one people actually attend, obviously.
THERE IS NO LIVESTREAM
--------------
here, same time as Nintendo. this is leaked
So, nothing Square-related will be shown in that Nintendo Direct.

Well, since both Nintendo's press event and Square's press event aren't being streamed, it should be easy for gaming news outlets to send some of their staff to one event and some of their staff to the other event. Right?

No livestream? Thank God. Now I don't need to worry about missing something.

Nope, Nintendo Direct is for customers. Nintendo's Press Event is for press workers at E3, since they would provide the demos for them.
