Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you expect FFVIIR and FFXVI at E3?

What do you think? Kingdom Hearts 3 is released, so the Show must go on...is SE ready to show FFVIIR and even a first trailer for FFXVI...?



Around the Network

No not really, FF7 is in development hell and FF16 probably just started development



I'm not really sure I want to see either one there. Square Enix has a tendency to announced their games way too early, which leads to these ridiculous waits for each new game. I guess it depends entirely on where either game's development is going at the moment.



E3 in what year?

Badum tshhh



No. You shouldn't expect anything from Square, it'll make your life easier.

I think it'd be cool if Square took a more retro approach with FF16. Now I think it's a stretch to imagine them reducing their flagship series which is known for flashy graphics and CG cutscenes back down to pixel art, but I'd be on board. Plus dev time would be drastically reduced.



VII will be there in a big way, I'd have thought. The first part *should* be launching either late this year or early next year. They've been working on it now for years.

XVI is pretty much nailed on for a teaser trailer. It's been 2 and a half years now since XV released, Kingdom Hearts 3 and Dragon Quest XI are both out of the way and Square Enix have been somewhat uncharacteristically quiet in terms of future announcements.

Outside of the Avengers game, they'll want to have a fairly big presence. The best way to do that is Final Fantasy XVI (at the Xbox event!)



                            

Don't think they will be this year without Sony. Even less probable for FF XVI that would be first trailer.

Logic would dictate that we should get something for FFVII:R but this is Squarenix we're talking about so I'm not getting my hopes up.



Signature goes here!

At this point, I am really taking a wait and see approach. Just bought the Switch FFVII remaster, so I am good as I replay the game for 100th and something time lol. I am not too happy about the game being split into chapters. But I am not even expecting the first one this year, I expect Square to show a teaser of the first chapter with the PS5 unveil at that point FFVIIR would be the first game in history to have been teased in 3 different gens!
