Square Enix’s lineup at E3 this year, for the most part, wasn’t Square. The major titles at this year’s showing included Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Hitman: Absolution — all properties of Eidos, which Square Enix owns. The only title from the firm’s Japanese roots was Final Fantasy XIII-2. According to Koji Taguchi, a senior executive officer at Square Enix Holdings, the lack of Japanese titles was “almost humiliating.”
“Because we merged with Eidos and had games like Tomb Raider, Deus and Hitman, as a company we were able to keep face,” said Taguchi on Twitter. “But the decline in Japanese titles was almost humiliating. This has been a week where I worried daily about how we can fix this.”
Square’s Japanese teams are currently busy developing Final Fantasy Versus XIII for PlayStation 3 and Final Fantasy Type-0 for PSP. The pair did not appear at E3.
