Pessimism like this is so lame lmao. There is literally zero indicating this, and if anything we have more than an abundance of evidence well see it this month. Relax
FFXV was a salvage job and ultimately still bad. Yoshida sets dates and hits them or let's you know when he can't.
Some folks seriously believe there will not be any news about FFXVI or Forspoken? You bet Square will show them, it's their most important projects since FFVIIR. If you don't see them at Square showcase, then they will be at Sony show considering the high focus on the FF brand from the console maker. And I think (purely guessing here) they might announce something this week, like dropping the date after SGF Kick Off Live and doing the event next week.
Anyway I'm really interested by this FF collection, hope they put decent work in.

Mostly Navtra. lol I doubt I know as much!
I'm sticking with Origin and Collection on Sunday, XVI at next State of Play. Sony really wants to push XVI on its own terms I'm guessing.
What you see here is what you get. I think the last time they did that, it was exactly what was announced, no suprised announcements in reserve. I would strongly suggest to temper your expectations, folks.
Back in Spring, they showed Forspoken as a final surprise despite not teasing any potential "hidden" game in the site description (granted, it didn't get much, but a title announcement and some gameplay snippets is nice).
This time around, unlike the Spring event, they even said this:
That said, I don't particularly expect a whole lot, but there's definitely more.
I put XVI at 50/50 for tomorrow. People should stop giving Sony so much credit lol
No it isn't and no it wasn't. Last time they advertised one game and showed thirteen, one of which was Forspoken. And this game E3 or any sort of big event.

still expecting Forspoken here, they didn't tell us it would be in the last Square Enix Presents either
Yeah, with the usual "World Premiers". They almost did FFXVI last year, but it got pushed so he does talk to SE.
They didn't specify, but they said "more in June" after the May SoP that reintroduced FF VII Remake. Given that S-E had a conference, well, it was as good an announcement as you can get. And iirc they even said that the extended version of the orchestra trailer would play the next day.
But I agree that they're weird, oversecretive at times even when they shouldn't.
Yeah. He'll attempt to break free from gamer prison live, should be a spectacle.
Wait, did they? Or do you mean the first PS5 in June? (I don't know if that was part of SGF).
In any case, yeah, he's had S-E stuff on his shows, like that Cloud-centred trailer during TGA 2019.
Okay, fair enough, but don't forget that this direct is presented by Eidos-Montreal, which is the occidental part of development from Square-Enix. We'll see a lot of western development updates, not so sure about Japan related ones. Still keeping expectations in check...
Ha yeah, sorry, misread. It would be the new IP from Eidos montreL, which is a world premiere.
The SOP from September. XVI was in that, but it was meant to be in a SGF stream before that and then SE pulled it.
Oh, really?
All I know was Navtra and Kagari iirc saying that XVI was supposed to be at the first PS5 event.
Oh, really?? Maybe that's what it was then. I feel like I specifically remember hearing about SGF, but no matter. Geoff's done stuff with them before and SE is Sunday either way. I don't really believe it wouldn't be there regardless of anything else, but I've gone over that enough.
Edit: Both Sony and SE are SGF partners fwiw
