From their breifing held last month, they just released this info today:

https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/ir/library/pdf/24q1outline.pdf

Chrono please!!

 

[Ailike]

AAA Brave Fencer Musashi incoming.

 

[diffusionx]

Tobal No 3

AAA Brave Fencer Musashi incoming.

I hope so

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

NieR?

Automata sold 7.5mil at the last count in Nov 2022. It was kinda like a high budget AA maybe? (not a diss, I think its a masterpiece).

 

[Mutantchipmunk]

Vagrant Story or Parasite Eve please

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Einhander. Make it a huge space

 

[nowhat]

I know this will never happen (as a sequel was already in the works and was canned), but Sleeping Dogs. I need my pork bun fix dammit.

 

[TGO]

Parasite Eve

 

[0379AR]

Vagrant stoooooryyy please

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Translation: "What is one of our smaller IPs that we can shovel money into and fuck up irrevocably?"

Squeenix has an absolutely horrid track record

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Chrono Trigger and Xenogears is all he needs to know.

 

[lefty1117]

Did that PDF just get released today? What perfect timing ...

 

[TGO]

Seriously Parasite Eve with FFVIIREBIRTH graphics
Do it now SE

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

Vagrant stoooooryyy please

Has anyone who says this played the game in the last…. 20 years? I mean the gameplay is total garbage.

 

[GHG]

These guys are sitting on a goldmine of IP with that kind of potential.

 

[0379AR]

Has anyone who says this played the game in the last…. 20 years? I mean the gameplay is total garbage.

For some people i know, consider this game is masterpiece. I played again few years ago. Well, it might be preference

 

[RoboFu]

Parasite Eve

Yeah I think parasite eve would fit nicely into todays style of games.

I would also like to see someone try a new Rad Racer. There is a severe lack of GOOD arcade racers.

 

[Badlucktroll]

“Final Fantasy VIII”

 

[A.Romero]

It sounds like good news to me. Many if those IP would almost count as new as younger gamers haven't had a chance to experience them.

 

[Wastelander92]

This is an official release, not a leak.

 

[Punished Miku]

Unironically, Powerwash Simulator.

Can't wait to play that in 2031

 

[Perrott]

NieR should be their 4th pilar in terms of tentpole franchises, joining the likes of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Raven117]

Not Vagrant Story. That game was purely from Matsuno and he is no longer with square.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

Chrono Trigger, Parasite Eve, a new Re-Vamped Vagrant Story.

 

[tkscz]

AAA Brave Fencer Musashi incoming.

Was about to say this exact game.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

NieR should be their 4th pilar in terms of tentpole franchises, joining the likes of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts.

I agree. There's also a good chance that NieR was upgraded to AAA following the massive success of Automata. A new one must surely be in the works, but we've heard nothing yet.

So this may leave room for something else.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

It’ll be Nier but I also yearn for a Star Ocean with decent writing and a good budget again

 

[Belthazar]

It's so obviously Chrono... hopefully this will be the guy to finally decide on doing it. An AAA Chrono sequel with turn based combat would probably sell a shitload in the current climate

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

They really don’t get it, do they?

A game doesn’t turn out good just by throwing money at it.
Do a better job of promoting your AA stuff, which is good as it is. You portfolio is much more than two IPs dating back to the late 80s.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I’m looking forward to 8 years from now when [IP] AAA upgrade releases and everybody hates it and talks about how [IP] was so much better 25 years ago.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Octopath, DQ remakes, other final fantasy remakes, chrono trigger, and even possibly star ocean could all benefit to the move to AAA.

 

[Hudo]

Mana, Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono, Nier, a new fucking Ivalice game...

...hell, I bet you could make a good, new Star Ocean game for once if you really tried.

 

[GymWolf]

Stay the fuck away from parasite eve
Stay the fuck away from parasite eve
Stay the fuck away from parasite eve

 

[FoxMcChief]

Dumb idea. Not surprised it’s come from SE.

Seriously Parasite Eve with FFVIIREBIRTH graphics
Do it now SE

Ehhh 3rd Birthday was an attempt to bring Parasite Eve to fully 3D graphics on par with (at the time) Crisis Core. It was awful.

"Parasite Eve with great modern 3D graphics" only really works if they give the original game the remake treatment similar to Resident Evil 2. Most games don't really survive the move from pre-rendered 2D backgrounds to fully 3D environments. Also, for the love of god keep the turn based battle system, I don't want this to be an action game like the 3rd one was.

 

[Rentahamster]

Tobal No.1 Championship Edition

 

[RaZoR No1]

FF VII?

jokes aside
NieR but only with prime Platinum Games handling the gameplay.

With the fame NieR now has, they could easily release a new Drakengard or even remake/remaster the old ones

 

[Labadal]

Give Bravely Default 3 a decent development budget, and keep it turn-based, upping production values.

Actually I was thinking just the graphical quality of FFVIIREBIRTH
While a 3D camera can still work there was parts in FFVIIremake that was static camara angles.
I think they should do the same and have a similar time freeze/slow motion in battle along with a normal 3rd person attack like in RE

 

[GymWolf]

Can't wait for a 4 episode version of parasite eve with kingdom hearts level of fanfiction.

 

[TGO]

Edit

I caught that
We talking about a Remake not a sequel like FFVIIremake actually is

 

[Ainem Enamas]

It's very nice to see that they are thinking about gamers.

 

[GymWolf]

I edited because i though it was double.

I have no problem repeating that, fuck off with the parasite eve remake idea

I know what you want, but with modern square nothing is safe.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Pls no. NieR is one of the few IPs I like from them. Anything they make AAA they royally fuck up.

Square needs to stay in the AA space. Throwing more money at their problems is not going to fix their problems.

 

[mortal]

AAA Brave Fencer Musashi incoming.

AA or AAA I'd love a new Musashi game. One of my favorites growing up.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Sony: "Need some help?"

 

[Mister Wolf]

Make Xenogears 2 without any assistance from Monolith Soft. I would love to see that attempt. Put Nomura on it too as the writer.

I agree but don't at the same time.
But that's because I actually like FFVIIremake and think it's the closest they've been to the old Square
