Yeah, even if I hear similarly I'm not saying a thing after that weirdness.
It seems like a lot is in flux with COVID anyway. Things just seem to slide around a lot more now since obviously developers had to adjust to a completely different way of making games.
That's why I'm asking. Can people just post anything unquestioned?
The Game Awards has a larger audience and is as good a place as any to show the game.
There's a precedent with FF VII Remake (short, pre-show trailer, but still). And what makes you think there won't be as many big games this year? Elden Ring could perfectly be there, for example.
In any case, there being fewer big games would actually be a positive: you get the spotlight and that massive audience.
I think Jump Festa or a S-E Presents in winter supports the kind of showcase Yoshida might want better, but I wouldn't discard TGA at all.
What a rollercoaster of emotions (the final one being dissapointment) June and July were :_

This or their own event / stream considering the success of fanfest and live letters for XIV. I want the latter but am expecting the former.
I'm not sure how to understand your post. I didn't mean that it wasn't a good place, but that it is a natural last resort event since it's the last one of the year if they want to stick to their 2021 info promise.
That's actually not a crazy expectation at all. Several single player Final Fantasy games have had playable demos in the last two decades, and some came out a while before release.
A demo would be cool but considering SE's track record with demos, I expect the ending of the game to leak if they released on. *tidus laugh*
(In fairness, the FFVIIR leak was on Sony.)
For some reason TGA feels odd for XVI to me.
Honestly I just want a dedicated 15 minute live stream.
Nothing else distracting. I don't know if a 2 minute trailer will feel satisfying after so long. Do a real presentation. I have like 100 questions I need answering. It's the next mainline FF, it doesn't feel treated that way yet.

Yeah and The Game Awards takes place in 2021. They can show it there and stick to their commitment to showing it in 2021.
Something like Endwalker reveal would be most ideal for sure.
say what you will. Company SE wants to market XVI differently this time. They made too many over confident gestures with FFXV. XV sold very well, but critical reception is equally important to company SE, particularly with mainline FF. They halfheart everything else marketing wise.
The game awards get more eyeballs and prestige every year and there will be a lot of pressure around this time from fans due to yoshi san promise. Just wait and see, nothing is ever written in stone but that is the move
Also keeping my mouth shut, there is no point in even teasing anything anymore if the developers themselves admitted uncertainty.
They did have FFVII:R at TGA 2019 though, they are not above anything.

I just need to know if there's a party, not even a trailer
I'm going to say that... if there isn't any party, imo this FF is DOA.
More than a TGA presentation I'm expecting a 20 minutes State of Play, similar to that of Deathloop earlier this summer. While it's true that FF7R had a trailer in 2019 at TGA, Square and Keighley didn't really have anything since then, not even a SGF short trailer (in fact, except for 2B in Fall Guys did they ever had anything from Square?). A FF XVI focused State of Play makes more sense also because Sony want the brand to be heavily tied to them.
This is literally all the info I needI just need to know if there's a party, not even a trailer
June 16th would mean the game releases right around when Forspoken is slated to do so. Just saying, lol.
Whether there's no party or a there's a non-playable one (like vanilla XV), I don't think it'd mean much for the game in the grand scheme of things. The former would be really dissapointing to me. The latter, I could live with as long as they are semi-permanent/permanent companions (and not just for a couple of missions).
I just don't want this to be like an Assassins' Creed game. We have way too many solo adventure AAA games from the West.
Luckily, there's reason to believe there's a guest member system in place already. Then again, they could be random characters or very momentary ones (the one in the trailer is a generic soldier):
That makes a lot more sense lol
I thought it was two easter eggs in one and that part was referencing the Marvel "616" Universe

It's a generic NPC... i meant proper party member.
I know. What I mean is that there's a system supporting non-Clive characters in battle along with him, so it stands to reason said characters could be more than just generic NPCs and include plot-critical ones.
Now, whether they'd be there for a couple of missions (like games such as AC, TW and many others do) or, hopefully, most of the game (in traditional FF fashion), we don't know.
I was about to post this but yeah June 16th sounds legit at this point.
Yep. Sure, I'd be bummed out if they're not playable, but I ultimately value the narrative opportunities party members give you more than their gameplay. For a FF, I want a journey where you feel part of an entourage, not something like TW3 or AC.
That's about the only thing I'd truly like leaked of this game lol.
What they've shown of the combat so far lends itself to Clive being the only playable character but we'll see, maybe they get a few different elements each
There is a Yoshida X Sakaguchi talk panel at TGS, announced at the FF14 live letter. There will be live translation. Finger crossed we get something FF16.
