Getting people to watch the show lol.
Sure, many will be dissapointed, but I don't think it'll be enough that S-E will care about any backlash or whatever, especially since they didn't promise anything and things already looked a bit dire in the Japanese game department (beyond Babylon's Fall) since the original announcement a week ago. Also, people's memories are short, especially if they do show XVI in a couple of weeks.
Again, I'm very bummed out because we don't even know if a Sony event is happening and I'd been banking on S-E's E3 since September. But I get what they do, as annoying as it is.
I think most people agree that the PSP game looks way better, but the rebalance for the DS version puts it to the top tier of FF games. All of the tweaks really made it one of the GOAT RPGs in terms of boss fights, and that tendency is clear among the following Asano games. DQ3... is kind of weird for the team, as the original version of the game are totally devoid of significant boss fights.
They'll go with something not at all confusing, like "Chronicle of the the Crystals"
The full title will be "Final Fantasy: Chronicles of the Crystals (But Not Crystal Chronicles)". Rolls right off the tongue.
fwiw they announced world of final fantasy at the same event as ff7r, there's definitely precedent for it
doesn't mean it's going to happen (my guess is origin is today and we see an updated 16 trailer/more info at whenever the sony presentation is), but it's certainly not something that they wouldn't do
It's supposedly coming to PC, too...albeit later, like with the Nioh games.
I don't get this mentality. Surely you'd get more people to watch your show if you went "Hey this thing you're excited for will be in this show!'" instead of "Hey this thing you're excited for might be at this so tune in for the entire thing in case it maybe shows up!" More people would watch this show if they knew XVI was going to be there.
Origin being in SEs show was part of the Origin leak. I don't get why people are forgetting that.
HD2D games take years to make. How the hell are they supposed to pull 3 out of nowhere?
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Maybe at a SE presentation or a direct later in the year?
XVI was probably never going to launch in '21, but don't let that fool you into believing it's progressing poorly. (Not saying you are or anything; more of a reflexive preemptive strike against anybody who says "no way that game is out before 2025 roflmao.")
I'm hopeful that at least 6 has got that treatment. But I wouldn't say no to 5 getting it this year and 6 coming out next year (have them made by two teams or stagger production).
1 - 4 have various options, the 3DS version of 4 seemingly being the best version. Give it 4K textures and resolution, a slightly higher polygon count and better lighting and I'd be perfectly happy with that.
I'd go with "Final Fantasy Dawn"
While many of the earlier revolve around the traditional crystals, games like FFVI lake that tradition and its take on crystals are "Magicite" (just like FFX's take on "crystals" are the Spheres and FFVIII's take on the crystals is the crystal pillar). From my recollection, FFII's take on the crystals were also different than FFI, FFIII, FFIV and FFV's take.

Imran tweeting about Drakengard today of all days?...
I hope we see more Classics getting Remastered like Legend of Mana.
SE have treasures more than any other company IMO.

If the trailer really wasn't a vertical slice but in development footage, they're going along pretty smoothly, and they seemed to have time to iterate and prototype it since...post-Heavensward, so 2016 I think. There is a chance they have a lot of things under control and that they're trying another marketing strategy considering fan feedback.
That's the thing though, that FF XVI is probably not there and will instead be at Sony's after whatever agreement between the two. If they said "no FF XVI just yet, wait a little longer" I know I probably wouldn't be watching this live (I don't think I will today, actually, depends on when I get home).
Oh yeah I know it means it won't be there and that they won't say it's not there, but it just goes into what I was saying earlier in the thread about how SE would say XVI would be there if it was actually there. I don't get why you'd think they wouldn't mention if it was there.
I dunno. I've only played Drakengard 3, and I'm not sure Square has enough balls these days to release a game featuring a whore, a psycho, a masochist, a pervert and a dumb dragon. Especially the dumb dragon.
man I bet the guardians of the galaxy are gonna look like weird bootleg movie versions of the characters lol
Ah, sorry, I see what you mean.
Yeah. And especially with even unannounced games like GotG ring explicitly mentioned as being there.
Probably jinxing it, but considering this whole presentation supposedly leaked, impressed that it didn't get out there.
Yeah, there's always that chance but I really think they'd have mentioned it by now if they had it.
Oh... this makes me even more interested in the possibility of Babylon's Fall being involved with Nier/Yoko Taro. Could be nothing though.
As much as I'd love more FFXVI news, between FF Origin, probably the Endwalker trailer and a potential collection to show that is more than enough Final Fantasy for an E3 presentation. I would love to be wrong but my expectations are tempered.
Trust in YoshiP[/ispoiler]
To be fair, Square are apparently working on a Yoko Taro game that they are incredibly reluctant about him making lol, so very well could be a new Drakengard game.
