Well, for me at least, this is going to be the best E3 of all time, mainly because S-E is going to show Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals (remake of my favourite game of all time, Lufia 2), and Parasite Eve: 3rd Birthday (Continuation of the Parasite Eve series, with the first PE being my second favourite game of all time ). 

Not only are they showing both of them, DQIX and KH:BBS are going to be there as well. Not sure about FFVXIII, I think that's reserved for TGS. 

I hope that we get to see more of Last Story and Xenoblade as well too

Yeah I loved the original parasite eve.  It was one of my favorite games on the original playstation so the the 3rd birthday is a day 1 buy for me.  I never played the second one though so I may have to play it first if the 3rd birthday picks up directly after the second game or at the very least wiki or youtube it to find out what happened.  I am also looking forward to hearing about square enix's unannounced games I hope the rumors about a new valkyrie profile and a breath of fire hd remake turn out to be true.

Parasite Eve: 3rd Birthday happens almost 8 years after the events of PE2. It takes a lot from the story from PE2, but it goes back to the original settting, manhattan  

If there's a new Eve...Ahhhh, can't wait for S-E showing

Didn't knew about about the Valkyrie Profile and BoF HD remake rumours. Although BoF II is my favorite, BoF was amazing as well. Same for Valkyrie Profile and Valkyrie Profile II

Well actually the rumor was that there would be a sequel to Valkyrie Profile so VP 3 and their would be a joint effort from capcom and square enix to make a breath of file compilation disk with hd remakes of 1 and 2 if my memory is correct.  But it came from some small video game website and you know some of those will write anything just for hits but I hope they are right in this instance.  There is a forum on this site dedicated to that particular rumor if you searched for it I'm sure you could find it.

Also did you ever play Parasite Eve 2 I heard it was different and wasn't as good as the original is that true in your opinion?

I'm going to search for it then, thanks for the heads-up If any of those rumours becomes true, then it would be amazing news in this E3

Yes, Parasite Eve 2 is extremely different from PE1.

First it plays like a Resident Evil game, with the same moving and attacking mechanics, with a few RPG mechanics attached, like weapon stats and Parasite Powers.

Second, the story breaks completely apart from the original game. I hope that PE:3rd Birthday brings back a logical flow to both stories, instead of neglecting the first again. 

In my opinion, PE2 was too many degrees inferior to PE1. It lost almost of it's originality in the process of trying to capture the RE/SH audience :/
