Btw PracticalBrush12 the person who literally leaked titles of E3 games some of which have now been revealed also said the FF 1-6 collection is happening. They said they will be pixel remasters.

Same here. The Nioh head that I am, it'll be good to know I won't have to wait TOO long to get my next hit of Team Ninja style masocore.

Oh shit! The only and biggest I worry I have is if they're going to be using that mobile style for 5 and 6.
"Pixel" remasters also insiders have said it's not the mobile version.
Just give me a Tomb Raider: Anniversary - Remastered on all platforms. O want a Switch version damnit! A TR2: Anniversary game would be great too.
Also the original "PlayStation" games would be nice on all platforms, with a 4K texture pack.
That and FF VI remake using HD-2D. So long as it didn't have extreme DOF effects and kept the original colour pallet.

I was going to make a thread at some point specifically about Square Enix Remasters/Remakes/Reimaginings (which I am generally a bigger fan of than most), but I guess I may as well wait until after the conference at this point. The partial list:
Games released in or before 2000 that have some availability on modern platforms (PS4/5, XBox, Switch, Mobile)"
So there's a solid core of about 30 old games with updated versions widely available now. DQ and FF are kind of in an elevated status where they get the most consistent attention, and a bunch of the FFs are "due" for a more substantial update. I'm worried about what I call "The Stranded", games that have been remade but have not been spread to modern systems:
Tactics Ogre PSP and Star Ocean 2... must be coming, right? It sounds like old FF is getting some love, and I am all in for that.
(Newer FF and Kingdom Hearts get most of what I'd call updated ports, so the list can easily expand to about 40 core classics out now).
I doubt a new SaGa would premiere at E3.

it's not Octopath style. Not sure why people have this expectation for the collection. its just going to be clean versions of the pixel style ( my guess).
That means we will never get ff6 in HD2D, they not going to release 2 different versions
maybe 4-6 are HD2D and 1-3 are just cleaned up
I mean, you're just making up games in your head now and piling assumptions on top of that lol. Quite a dangerous road to be on.
I didn't make them up was just going by rumors of the collection, and if it's true that means no ff6 HD2D
Never say never. Final Fantasy is an elevated status among Square Enix classics, and they are totally willing to do a variety of styles. There's quite a few games with multiple remakes (Mana 1, FF4, DQ3).
SE, as a company, understands the value of its greater library in a way no other RPG publisher does.
im more excited by the possibility of a FF7R PC release or a teaser for FF7R pt2 Z (and even Forspoken) than FFXVI unfortunately, I hope this conference can make me more hype for FFXVI.
Which is again, a weird assumption. Also a HD-2D FFVI is the game you made up that I was referring to, if it ever does happen it will be a big project and I'm not sure why a collection would have any affect on it.
Dragon Quest 3 has a normal port on Switch and it's getting an HD2D version.
Any word how long the presentation will be?
The thing I've always hated about Square acquiring Western studios like Eidos is that I always have to temper my expectations with these presentations, where I am only interested in new FF and Japanese-developed announcements.
At least with Nintendo Directs they'll usually let you know if they're solely focusing on a specific property like Smash Bros or Pokemon. With Square it's a roll of the dice on what gets covered or not.
So as much as I want this show to focus on FFXVI, Origin, FFVII-R and KH, I have to set myself up for disappointment when they decide to show stuff like Tomb Raider or Avengers instead.
Just please please PLEASE give me the Xenogears Remake/Remaster, that's all I ask.

Star Ocean 2 already has a remaster - it's ps4/vita only and stuck in Japan.
That's still so odd to me... surely it would've sold better than SO1.
Oh good catch! SE is better than most, but there's still a bunch of weird JP only stuff like that. I... don't get it.

I don't think he actually knows about the FF 1-6 Collection. He probably just heard what's been going around publicly. Otherwise he'd have given a name to it.
That would be awesome!! I hope they revamped the gameplay a little tho. It didn't look too hot IMO
God I would LOVEEEE this. Too bad I don't think it'll ever happen. I just have to probably play CC on my PSP to avoid having the game look like an eyesore
Then we must build God with our own hands and sacrifice all humanity to awaken Him.
(imagine all the memes that would come from a modern Xenogears revival).
I'm 80% leaning towards "no XVI" and the reason behind the "mystery" being that they know many fans will tune in on account of it maybe showing up.
If that's the case, it's somewhat annoying that they wouldn't say "no XVI just yet, guys!", but I get it as a strategic move. And at the end of the day, those dissapointed people would stop being so whenever the game shows up later in the year.

SE is weird when it comes to their ports/remakes. Every SO game is available on PS4. Yet only 2 is stuck in Japan. They remastered VP but it's mobile only. Same goes for FF WOTL. Chrono Trigger was also mobile only until they decided to port it to Steam...and nothing else since.
FF IV the complete collection style >>>>>> DS 3D remake style all day but just my opinion.
