I met Arnie Roth at Distant Worlds!
...at least I was in the front row that time...
he said "depending on what you consider big", FFXVI is the main title, there would be no point in saying that.
It's probably FF Origins, since Khan said it was part of the conference

SE loses the source code for FFVIII and other PS1 classics but doesn't lose this design
...interesting.
Again, I just wanna see if someone's been able to do something that Wonderswan version of FF3 that never saw the light of day!
I think at this point we can agree it's highly unlikely whatever they're doing is anywhere near E3. That would've been announced already. There were some having suspicions of them being quiet until September, so I'm still being hopeful.
Yeah. FF XVI should be the biggest FF game right now along with VII Remake Part 2 (which isn't gonna be announced until 2022, I bet).
I totally expect Origin at the stream. And I mean, there was never reason to worry: it's getting an alpha this Summer, after all.
As for XVI, at Sony's. Which we sadly don't know if such an event even exists for this month.
Glad to hear, cheers. Hopefully they do the games justice.
The two nightmare scenarios for me are mobile ports of 1-6 or straight Rom dumps of the FC/SFC originals.
I think what most people want is something like the PSP versions…but I just don't trust SE to give us something of that quality.
In the end, I'd happily take rom dumps, if it meant someone like M2 is on board.
M2 are the type that would probably find a way to patch the best of the later releases' content in to the original versions. There's at least a healthy bit of precedence there.
0 chance. Unless you meant a year since the reveal.
Read their followup summary post. They said big stuff will be there just not everything.
If the collection of FF games is there then that'll 100% be on the switch.
Not in a ROM dump. They'd have to add new bosses and dungeons. That'd jsut be a straight ROM Hack. Which seems like more effort than SE would afford a FF port.
Even so, I could see "ROM hacks" being possible if they really wanted to make this collection a bit more palatable. Or at the least, much more worth the asking price of $59.99-69.99+ MSRP.
Unless someone states flatly and definitively: "XVI is not in SEs show", I don't think there's a good reason to buy into that idea.
People are acting like Sony doesn't let partners discuss the games they're the ones making to begin with, which is nonsense without precedent. Marketing deals aren't that severe (publishing deals are) and it wouldn't make sense for one to be now, since the point of promotion... is promotion. It's not like when they did this with CoD; The game is already exclusive, so why try to gag Square? They should want SE to be talking about Final Fantasy XVI, exclusively on the PlayStation 5™️ at every given opportunity.

I just think with the extra content and translations, it's more trouble than it's worth to back port to the SNES editions. I'm quietly optimistic about PSP-esque editions. SE have fairly modern versions of 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 with all additional content, bug fixes and translations. Even the mobile versions of 5 and 6 would be a fair base to build something better off. It's really just the UI and sprites that are bad.
Assuming M2 are indeed the ones at work here, I think the thing is that they'd probably be more inclined to work with the original code (or close to it) as much as possible, and just add-on from there. Which could be interesting to see, if it meant that they'd be doing more work for all the games that stand to be in that pack.
At the very least, even if I don't get my desire for the legendary "Wonderswan version of FF3", it would be nice to finally get an official translation of the Famicom original. FF2, as well, for that matter.
This May coincide with the changes of the mobile versions...would be great
Yeah I don't think it's M2 personally. I know they did Mana and Saga but that's a different SE division, and there are plenty of other companies SE work with for this kind of stuff.
The portraits in the psp version of FF IV are really cool but maybe I'm just nostalgic for them (really weird to say)
Nah, that's easily the best version of that game. That collection is one of the best SEs done and was basically a must-own on PSP/Vita.
Yeah, it wouldnt make sense for Square to wait until Sony have an event to show more of FFXVI, they just showed a teaser for FFVIIR in a State of Play but that was before the big blowout of the game in E3 2019.
Its better for Square to have the game on their own stream, at least that is what i believe

Yeah, I think the thing is, an arrangement like this has no reason to be all or nothing. They could just as easily put in a really short tease and say "more soon" or even specifically mention Sony. To just not mention the game at all though? Doesn't make sense. And if you look at their social media stuff, it's mentioned in every reply. This is the thing people actually want to see.
That's why I believe FF XVI will be there. They know people will be all eyes on this event. In 2015 they announced VII Remake in Sony's press then they had their own press event the next day and showed a 3 minutes trailer of KH III which no one ws expecting. And this was a game still 3 years+ away from release.
I wouldn't mind getting rid of portraits on dialog boxes, but reserving them for the menu screens. And for the menu ones, I say axe the Amano-styled portraits (fine with FFVI, but look off in FFV) and get Nomura to custom design portraits for each of the playable characters (with a look that's more true to the sprites' design).
I think Square Enix would have shouted "FF16 will be here!" from the rooftops if FF16 were going to be here. They even confirmed the presence of the unannounced Eidos Montreal game whose identity is such a big mystery to us.
Yeah I agree with this, there's no reason for them not to be headlining the event with it. And im pretty sure people are expecting it to be there so if it was im not sure why they'd be trying to hide it as a surprise or something.
To be fair, if there's a company that could treat an announced game (that they even promised information of this year) as a surprise, that's S-E. But yeah, I think XVI won't be at the stream, for some reason.
Navtra and Kagari's comments in this page make me more confident about either:
- Sony having a SoP soonish with FF XVI in it.
- SGF's kick-off event showing FF XVI.
They said most of the lineup is under wraps and they have plenty of already announced things they also could've just mentioned, but didn't. Endwalker? TWEWY2? DQ3 remake? There's hype for these games. They just aren't talking about everything.
And the western stuff is what needs the help because there's much less hype for it and, as Avengers bore out, even just being tied to a big license isn't any sort of guarantee of success.
There was, and Athia/Forspoken made a surprise appearance witha new trailer and name reveal.
Square-Enix Japan has always had a strong presence in their E3 events.
Big name Square Enix Presents? No, they only revived that brand in the west this year.
Minor SE Presents? All the time in Japan:
