No New Final Fantasy XV Info at E3 2014

Good. Let all of the Final Fantasy XIV events take center stage at E3. Its their most successful FF in ages and the only thing positive about the franchise right now.

I never expected anything from FFXV this year. 2014 was always said to be XIV's year.

Well that's good.

Still, back to XV, just thinking how Witcher 3, helmed by a much smaller development team and budget than Square Enix, still managed to complete the game in this time...and with much better graphics!

XV was announced nearly a year and a half before Witcher 1 came out.

Man they are doing a bang up job turning that boat around at SE.

Not getting a PS4 till 2016 confirmed. That's fine, I got a PS Plus backlog and Persona 5 coming, im good.

The problem most long time SE fans have is the looooooooooooooong development cycle SE takes. People weren't really expecting FFXV this year (except maybe that Famassu guy) but when SE doesn't show anything new for a game that pretty much cancels out the following year. My prediction now is Japan, maybe holiday 2015 IF they show FFXV running fully at TGS this year. US release for spring 2016. If they show nothing new at TGS this year including a demo then I would temper my expectations even further.
 
Could you imagine the "Making of FFXV"? Jesus. I swear, I expected this to happen but Im still disappointed.

Well... here's hoping that FFXIV news will be great. I want to see some new zones, new classes, new expansion, the Golden Saucer etc.

Here's also hoping that Triad Wars gets shown off along with the rumored FFXII HD. I'd be totally happy with all 3 of these.
 
I won't be surprised if Kingdom Hearts 3 releases first even though it hasn't even been in development for that long. The Osaka team knows how to make quality games at a decent rate.

How is Kawazu "castrated"? He's selling dishes just fine on top of having success with Emperor's Saga. It's not even close to Ito. Maybe he even announces Romancing SaGa 4 this year!

What's Ito doing? washing those dishes?

Wait what?
 
Two things:

I don't believe anyone posting about how little they care about the game now. I'll bet most of you will be swooning again once more footage or a release window drops.

Also, that this has had an even worse development cycle than XIII frightens me deeply.

Didn't BbS take like five years? It's a fantastic game, but that's still obscene for a handheld title.
 
Isn't Deus Ex rumored to make an appearance at this E3?

I omitted the only, probably, good Eidos game. There's also that TPS F2P Soul Reaver game that I'm still trying to forget.

Remember the Metal Gear Rising Doc, about Kojima's pupils saying they failed at life and how they had to be rescued by an actually good development studio?

Basically the same but without being saved.

So a game announced in 2006, and re-debuted in 2013 has nothing to show in 2014?

Give them a break. They are busily busting their humps trying to incorporate the scrapped assets from The Last Guardian into a new(ish) Esper animation. This kind of thing takes time.

I wasn't terribly impressed by last year's footage, so I doubt it. I don't know how anybody can still stay super-hyped for a game that's been in development hell for nearly a decade now.
 
This game was announced during the fucking launch for the PS3. A fucking launch for the PS3. A launch for the PS3. A launch title for the PS3... DAMN YOU LIGHTNING!!

I still care, its just I was a hardcore Square fan from NES/SNES days. This new SE is a different beast then the Square I used to love. I actually liked FFXIII but the fact we only got one FF main title, and a not so great one at that and not much else out of SE this gen (yes I liked Bravely Default) put into perspective with their past output i've gone lukewarm on what they are offering up. I can't stay hyped up for 8 years for a game with only a couple trailers to show. That's totally absurd.

If you're asking for mainline FF, I think it's unlikely. FF spinoff? Who knows. Right now even for FF14 I'd say 50/50 on the chance of expansion announcement and reveal.

Any spin off will do. Personally I'd love a FFX-3 announcement or a Dissidia 3 if for next-gen consoles (or crossgen). But a FFTA3 or HD remasters are welcomed too.

The newest generation of Pokemon available back when this game was first announced was Gen 3 (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald). Remakes of these games are coming out later this year and XV still isn't even ready for consistent E3 releases. Somebody needs to write a tell all book about the development of this game, I bet it'll be a fantastic read.

This is amazing.

Was anyone honestly even expecting kingdom hearts 3 stuff? The reveal last year openly stated that they just started working on it. They revealed it far to soon. I say this as a long time kingdom hearts fan who has been waiting for 3 for years.

The info regarding fungal fantasy 15 is so infuriating. They said that they would show the game more after last e3 did they not? It will be a year now without seeing again.

That would come out before the game as well xD
 
Such a terriblly run company, really has no clue.
Last year they pulled their asses out of the fire with KH3 and FF15 reveals and then 1 year later won't show shit from them?

For all Nintendo's faults, they know how to reveal and release games.
Trailer. Interviews. Release it within a year.
Bing. Bang. Boom.

These years of hype that Squeenix, Konami and Co. are pulling isn't good for anyone.
