Octopath Traveler is one of the reaches that sold me on Switch, so I am very excited for it.

Okay, a Nier 1 remaster by Platinum would be amazing. Give me Papa Nier though.
Yeah
A Theatrhythm sequel that included music from XV, World of FF, etc. would have been something at least.NinjaCoachZ

It's funny, Dissidia Arcade, World of FF, and FFXV all together could have easily been a pretty kickin' trilogy of 30th anniversary games, but they all came out way ahead of time. And then NT is missing the 30th anniversary year, but it's really only a month off so I guess that can slide. (Closer than the original Dissidia was anyway.)
I wish there were some more collections or remasters or ports. XII is great so I'm thankful for that, but it would've been the perfect opportunity to bring things like the PC ports of VIII/IX/XIII trilogy to PS4 for example.

Hype. Nomura has also expressed that he prefers his projects be announced formally and not through leaks.
You're not wrong. I'm not too bothered because I've been shafted by Square-Enix for over half my life. I expect it at this point.
Hype means shit if we all have to start planning our Hoveround purchases before the first game in a series of titles drops.
This is at least a decades long project, and you can take that as timely releases or untimely ones...

Huh, surprised KHIII wouldn't be showing. It seems like almost time to kick off big time promotion of the title. Maybe it's a surprise, or planned to be shown elsewhere?
VII, if it shows its face again this year (big if) will be at PSX I think? That makes the most sense.

Honestly I wouldn't mind they don't change the gameplay but i do love to let us change between papa Nier and brother NieR.
I also LOVE see Remaster for Drakengard 3. honestly the game had very solid combat but it had piss poor performance.
If it's at TGS, couldn't it be part of Sony's showing? To help cook up hype for a game that, well, isn't having an Xbox One release in Japan as far as I know.
Just updated the OP with Gematsu's full translation of the stage schedule events.
Seems to be a holdover from the PS2 era where they could more easily get away with announcing a game within a year (and a few months) of starting production. It just doesn't work at all for modern AAA development yet they still do it...
Like I said in the OP it could be a similar situation to FFXV at TGS 2014, it wasn't announced beforehand as being part of their lineup but still got a trailer right before/as the event started. Or it could appear Sony's conference on Sep 19.
Didn't FFVIIR just enter full production this year, too?
And they had the nerve to show the game two years ago.

This is also a distinct possibility. I'd be really surprised to see VIIR, but KHIII doesn't seem too crazy!

No way kh3 or ff7 are there. Kh3's next appearance is in February and 7 will probably be exclusive to sony events for the time being.
Id be okay if they announce an xv expansion and world of ff 2 tho

From what I can tell it was in full production with CyberConnect2 doing the majority of development (I would guess they were 60-70% of the project's staff with the rest being Square Enix Business Division 1 and other outside studios since they said there were/are others besides CyberConnect2) since mid-2014. And that's why they stuck to their tradition of announcing it after a year of production at E3 2015.Didn't FFVIIR just enter full production this year, too?
And they had the nerve to show the game two years ago.
But it has likely been set back a lot after them deciding working with mostly external staff was not ideal/they weren't happy with how they were implementing their game design ideas I'm guessing in March/April of this year, based on the fact they released screenshots in February 2017 then the shift to mostly internal development was announced in May 2017. I would guess maybe the game design implementation parts are now at an early stage (maybe around the stage they would be at at the start of production) but assets, cutscenes, voice recording and other stuff is quite advanced based on Nomura saying in July cutscenes and other areas for FFVIIR are further along than they are for KH3 and Kitase saying voice acting was nearly finished in February. Just my speculation though, I could be completely wrong and it turns out it's accurate to say they are at the start of production again/"started production" this year.

If you mean PSX 2018, then sure why not.

So after CC2 being removed from the project and there being nothing to show for the game in 2017, I'm guessing the development of FFVII is going smoothly.
Probably the plan was to have 7R launch this year but we know how that went lol. Anyway I wonder if that FF 30th anniversary project that will be announced at the end is even a game.
Yeah at best it will be a cross gen PS4/PS5 title.
I do think KH3 will be at Jump Festa.. Nomura loves that event too much to just completely skip it. Maybe nothing major, but some rehashed trailer. They will probably reveal Frozen world in D23 Japan in Feb.

Yep they got a 45 minute presentation!
I hope it releases in the first half of 2018.

I anticipate a name change similar to FF Verses 13 to FF15. Bravely Default: Octopath Traveler perhaps. They have the same font afterall.

Square is partnering for Evil Within 2?
Yeah I'm interested to find out Octopath's final name.
Nah, they are just lending booth space to Bethesda for it.

They should release a trailer of FF7R, it's been ages since we got something new.
Please SE, give me Celes and Noctis for Dissidia!

I'm probably the only guy here looking forward to Itadaki/Fortune Street, though I don't see how much "new" content they could reveal.
Definitely interested in Octopath Traveler too.

I am pretty sure that KH3 will be at TGS 2018.

No FF7 makes me worried about that project
No way was that ever the plan.
I wouldn't be too surprised if they showed a small teaser (logo, concept art etc.) of FFXVI this year. Which would be exciting, but also kinda silly because for once I want them not to announce a FF so early and instead just come out with a bang a year or so before release and surprise us.
What is Octopath? Never even heard of it.
It's been obvious that thing is so far off, just put it out of your mind. They fucked up as usual, saying it was even a thing that long ago.

I would murder the pope to get a remake of FFVI that looked like this.

Octohype has me excited. Glad we are getting more on it.
Not this year. Try again in 2020 after they're spent on all the FFXV stuff they put out.
