It'll be for mobile.
They would want the fast money once they have to resort to that option.

No New Final Fantasy XV Info at E3 2014

Nah, the only scenes in "full HD" are the new scenes. The rest are upscaled DVD quality.

More like a chalkboard gag about Square Enix announcing a release date, and a bunch of yearly conferences scratched out.
yep
they could use the models and art assets from crisis core too, which wouldn't really fly on newgen consoles

Development hell has only added to the mystique surrounding The Last Guardian, if anything.
A few trailers? Maybe. But how do you know you'll still feel that way once we see a proper rollout with extensive previews and demoes?
I think what little they've shown looks really, really cool, but the fact is that the whole game still feels more like a proof of concept than a tangible product that's well on it's way. There isn't enough there there regardless of SE's empty declarations to the contrary. Thus I don't put much stock in people just throwing up their hands yet.
LOL xD
I mean, the dev team riding the fun slide at Tokyo Disneyland during work hours went smoothly. So technically he wasn't wrong.
So, at least in the past, there has been a sort of "agreement" between E3 and TGS that they'll split the Japanese announcements between the two shows so TGS isn't completely irrelevant.
So the "later in the year" comment could be indicative that they're saving it for TGS?

I have come up with three theories.
1.Square Enix has has lied about XV going into full production and has secretly had the XV team working on other projects like A Realm Reborn and Lightning Returns. (This is what i suspect has happened.)
2.Final Fantasy XV is having severe technical issues that they are having trouble correcting (which isn't a crazy prediction seeing as how badly messed up with their PS3 engine) or the project is to ambitious for the tools/hardware they are working with.
3.The XV team is just slow and/or doesn't have enough people on the team (In which case KH3 should have never started production).

All 3 are probably wrong.
It just seems like awful management and constant scrapping of ideas.

Browsing through the thread, saw this. I mean, dammit, can't you just go back to mocking us for our hope? This cut so much worse. ;; The pain...
This was really the biggest reason I was excited for E3, and having it taken away once more just reveals the bleak truths stated above. I can't even continue to hope against the odds that this game will come out great despite all the struggles. I'm truly heartbroken.

A no show is actually all the information on this game and company I need.
Forget about this game. Accept our lord and savior, Persona 5 into your heart.

FF7 HD.......NOW IN DEVELOPMENT LOLOLOLOLOL
Tell me about it. It says so much about this company. How they hell do they have LESS to show than last year.
The worst part is that they promised to stop withholding info about this game last E3.

This game is a joke on two generations already.

Isn't SE more focused on FFXIVARR at this point for 2014? It makes sense if they are since it has been successful. 2015 feels like the better reveal. As for a release date, maybe 2016. But seriously, FFXV is way low on the radar for me. There's so much more to look forward too. When the game comes, we'll see how it is.
As smoothly as this.
Smooth. Groovy.

I just seriously don't get it. Like, they have to have something there to show off, it's been in full speed development since 2011(when we got a 6 minute trailer). What is a more optimal time to show off new shit?

I have to think this signals the end of AAA development at Square. I can't imagine these projects are profitable anymore. Whether XV and KH3 ever release, I will be surprised if they announce another major title again. They have done nothing to indicate they can improve their rate of content development and that just doesn't fit with the new reality of game making. Sad really.

First I've heard of this but I suppose that would make sense.
But hasn't FFXV mostly been shown at E3 first in the past?
I don't think it would make much sense to break from this now.
But then again, SE has been so dysfunctional the past decade, they make Capcom look good.
Well a good thing from your future scenario would be no Kingdom Hearts 4. I love Kingdom Hearts, but the plot should be wrapped up in 3. Where are they going to find a better villain that the one they have now lol.

This and KHIII were both in my Top 3 reasons to get hyped for E3.
Star Wars: Battlefront better have a good showing.

They could, I don't know... hire competent managers?
Review their developping process?
Given how much more complex development process have been established (and are working) in other fields, I can't imagin that SE, with all the talents they still have, couldn't turn around and become much more effective.
But for that they should finally recognize their failure in the past 10+ years (which, from an outsider point of view, means Nomura and some others should get demoted, I'd say), and rethink the hole thing.
Someone, I think from Sony, told me about that arrangement a few years ago.
It could also be that there was a production delay, or Nomura is just endlessly pixelfucking the trailer and thus it "wasn't ready" in time for E3. His "attention to detail" is a big part of the reason why his games tend to take forever to develop, after all.
Then Square parlayed that into a reason to move it to TGS so they're contributing to that event.

So you want to start a Twitter campaign to tell SE to do what they are already doing.... The smart thing to do would be to make them aware of the importance of giving people frequent updates on XV and organizing development to be more efficient to speed it up otherwise they'll just ignore the campaign and rightly so. They already mentioned that they are focusing on FFXV or at least that development is going well so if someone is to start a campaign, be intelligent about it, please.
They are done with Lightning, the trilogy is officially over, they are not making anything Lightning centered anymore and if they ever do the trilogy collection thing it won't have impact on any of the main teams.... People talking about Lightning as if it's a permanent thing is getting really annoying. If you want it to die.. Shut up about it, the joke is getting old.. It's dead, done , over..
#FF15@E3 is probably a better tag.
Would people rather have nothing than FFXIII on PS4 ?
The game would look insanely beautiful...It would hardly stop FFXV from getting made.
FFXV's development is in deep , deep shit that's got nothing to do with an HD collection.
In addition, the HD collection isn't happening anyway.

Even if they had given us a trailer, there wouldn't be a release date on it which would result in the exact same complaints we have now. In least the false hope is crushed and people are saved from disappointment.

With this short an amount of time before E3, that would probably be best. If someone could throw together a well thought out write up as to why we deserve to see it at E3 and link it with the hash tag for everyone to tweet that would be about as much as anyone could do.
Unfortunately though, it's so damn close to E3 I'm not sure there's really any hope that they'd see the campaign and throw something together in time. I don't think they'd bother. Had they outright said it a month ago however, then there may have been a chance or if someone started a campaign when Kagari warned us then possibly, but at this point we might as well accept its absence.

A new trailer would have at least assured us that everything was ok. Now we know something is wrong.
Oh I get what you are saying now.
... I would play a Last Remnant 2 on PC/PS4/One.

The PS3 version did. So much so, that they quietly cancelled it and released the PC version instead.
I mean, look at this. This is hilarious.
