NeoForte Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Alright. Time has come for SE's countdown to their biggest announcements of the year. So whats in store? New Final Final Fantasies (Remakes, Spinoffs and Original), new trailers and info for current projects, Kingdom Hearts updates and much more. So far they have announced: The Last Remnant (360 and/or Ps3): A new IP shown exclusively on the new Game Informer. It sounds awesome and should be interesting seeing them develop the game with both japanese and US audiences in mind. Also their first Unreal Engine 3 project (so its 360 and/or Ps3) http://www.siliconera.com/index.php/2007/05/07/new-square-enix-rpg-the-last-remnant/ Screen1 Screen2 Screen3 screens from xboxyde and game life Final Fantasy: Dissidia (PSP): - Final Fantasy series characters battle on a 3D field.

Well more announcements are expected and as they come I shall update this page with links and maybe pics. Right now I am excited more so to see new trailers for pojects I want to come out already (FFT: A2, FFCC: Rings of Fate, FFXIII, DQIX, DQ Swords, Its a Wonderful World and all the others). Supposively the future of KH will be discussed and rumors of Star Ocean announcements are bound. PSP according to EGM is suppose to get much more SE love with remakes and spin offs. I wanna see more Wii games from them. According to Square they said Wii fans will be very satisfied this coming Saturday. So discuss, speculate and lets have fun (and lots of flames )! . .. ... .... ..... I'm now being told to retract the flame statement and say lets have a nice civilized discussion heh.

atmuh Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 enix should just wake the heck up and make a new soul blazer well maybe not since all attempts to resurrect great old stuff ends in garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have lost faith in Square-Enix a while ago...yet I still play their games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citan Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yeah, I don't have much faith in SE anymore, either. All they really seem to care about anymore is making as many games as possible, usually of poor quality. The spin-offs are probably the worst... Dirge of Cerberus was horrible, I couldn't believe Square released something so terrible. I miss the days of Squaresoft. The only thing I'm keeping an eye out for from SE is a port of FFVII. They've already ported the first 6 games, so we should be hearing about a FFVII port soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coop Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Until S-E makes Einhander II, they're just a one trick pony to me. As much as I'm enjoying FF XII, I'm actually getting sick of seeing the franchise popping up as they constantly whore it out with spin-offs, sequels and re-ports. They've got a good number of non-RPG games waiting for a well deserved sequel. Maybe someone should remind them that there are other genres besides RPGs in the gaming world.

The Legendary Zoltan Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I agree that Einhander is cool. I don't really see anything wrong with sticking to just one series. There's a lot of good that can come out of concentrating on just one thing for a long time. Just look at Armored Core Hahaha. However, Square-Enix, being the huge company that it is definitely has more than enough human resources to allocate some to other projects. I really wanted to go to that party but I live in Niigata and the party is in Tokyo. Curse Square-Enix forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Anyone remember Ehrgiez or Tobal No. 1? Sure they weren't that great but I wouldn't sneeze at a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yeah Ehrgeiz sequels for all! Seriously though, S-E is doing to much at a time, they should concentrate on some major game.. something good.. something like.. Einhänder II! Edit: They can only make Einhänder II if they have Kenichiro Fukui as the composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say make Final Fantasy XIII tie up every previous FF game into one incohensive plot hole that makes Resident Evil plot holes seem like small cracks in the floor. Then they can FINALLY give it a rest, and work on other things. Like Kingdom Hearts: The Mushroom Kingdoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I agree, I am getting tired of all these freakin spin offs that are mediocre to bad. I am getting tired of them remaking FFI and II heh. I'm ok with them sticking to RPGs since everything else they try to do ends up in failure (Dirge of Cerberus, Musashi the new one, etc.) I do wish they would branch out and take some risks. At least they are doing a new IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I say they should make a new Rad Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zup Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Kingdom Hearts: The Mushroom Kingdoms. I would play that. I would play the heck out of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I would play that. I would play the heck out of that. Yea too bad that was a April Fools joke (though you never know these days...) Anyway according ot this blog ( http://ff13vids.jugem.jp/ and thanks to a translation on Neo GAF) - Final Fantasy series characters battle on a 3D field. The genre is fighting competition action (?). - The gods Cosmos and Chaos called on the heroes of light and dark - Warrior of light from FF1, Zidane from FF9 will participate - Garland and Kuja are also confirmed - Character designs by Nomura. This sounds interesting...kinda heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoForte Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Alright new rumors (not confirmation because it is still from a blog of the leaked information of the party). Its been "comfirmed" they are working on a ???IV DS. It is very highly probably it is FFIV DS remake in the vain of FFIII. The blog that broke the news: http://ff13vids.jugem.jp/ Stated it was FFIV DS 3d remake. But on Neo GAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154405 It was said that those initials were a mistake by a mod. And so people speculated on DQIV but it seems in the end it is FFIV. No other news. Also FFXII International (but who isn't surprised at this announcement). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCD1 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 FF4?!?! Loved it, if the remake was done well I would be extremely excited about picking it up...and a DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ab56 v2 aka Ash Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 They only need to do ONE sequel and that's Chrono. Other than they, they ought to make new stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Roboto Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Upon further thought.. FFIV in 3D would be pretty cool. I mean,I wonder what the scene where Cid jumps off of the airship will look like?Or the part where the Bomb Ring activates? Yeah,Yeah,its a remake...at least its a promising remake..instead of that god awful FFIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It'd be kinda cool if they re-released/remade the stuff that was only for Sattelaview (or however you spell it). It'd be interesting to see Radical Dreamers released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_NutS Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 holy shit... a FFIV remake in 3d.. that just confirms to me that V and VI will be on our way eventually. Damn, and I thought I'd never get a DS. I guess now it's the time to grab one. Cecil, here we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntguy Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 How about a 3D remake of Chrono Trigger? *Crosses Fingers* *100 years later...* ...How about a 3D remake of Chrono Trigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 As I posted in the respective Wii and DS threads, Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate news, Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers "news", and new Chocobo's Dungeon coming to Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
