What Square Enix Games Will You See At TGS This Year?

Guess what’s just a few weeks away? Yep. It’s almost that time of the year again. And Square Enix are preparing in earnest for their booth at at the event. Since he’s involved with a lot of Square’s major releases, Tetsuya Nomura tweeted about the company’s plans on his 3rd Birthday account.

 

Games with trailers on the show floor with include Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded and The 3rd Birthday. Meanwhile, those of you looking forward to Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Agito XIII — try not to get your hopes too high. Nomura reveals that the two games are being combined into a single, brief last-minute showing together.

 

Nomura also mentions another unannounced project of his that will be shown at the event. At this point, it’s a little unclear as to just how the footage for the two Fabula Nova Crystallis games will be shown off. Square Enix tend to run closed theatre showings for some of their titles, so we’re unsure as to whether those two titles will be open to the public.

    He needs to stop focusing on unannounced games that are not what people want and focus on what people are wanting here and now, IE Kingdom Hearts 3 (on PS3), and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. I thought Versus was going to come a year after FFXIII and meet a Fall 2010 release date in Japan?! Surely they couldnt have run into any hitches in that plan.

    Damn you Nomura. May you be wrapped up in belts and zippers and sent to hell.

    Only joking, sort of.

    Cue Nomura bashing and forgetting the fact that he’s not the one making all of the decisions at SE. He’s just a public face of the company. All of these articles always degenerate into this nonsense, just like the Bamco articles turn into Tales of whining.

    I know it’s not happening, but I’d like a new Chrono game. Remember when they were meeting with Hori a few weeks back?! If they could work with Nintendo, they could get the Monolith team (Read: TT)!
    Or, even better, a Xenogears remake.

    I know, not happening. But we can all dream, right?

    What is this trend with Xeno fans always causing themselves pain and suffering? :/

  • Anonymous

    I don’t really think it’s that, I think it’s just that we want the game, but understand that there’s no chance at all it’s going to happen. So we hope for it, but only half-heartedly. Maybe once every few months we hope for it, but not giving it more than a passing glance because it is a long dead dream.

    I think we’re the “glass is half-empty”-type people who are always expecting the worst out of a situation so that we can be pleasantly surprised in the end when something does come out of it. That’s why I’m always so happy about anything related to the Third Birthday, because I believed it would never happen in the first place. At least, myself and all of the Xeno fans I know are.

    Though I suppose that might be considered causing myself pain and suffering. I think Shadow Hearts fans are like this, too.

    No lie, I *am* looking forward to seeing a little more Agito XIII, even if it’s just a little. It looks like the most intriguing of the various XIII projects, assuming they don’t mess it up somehow.

    Some gameplay video/demo of Versus XIII would be a nice start.

    There would be 5 more KHs on the 3DS before KH3 on the PS3 :)

    I agree. While I am interesting in the “Fallout 3-ish” feel the Versus screens have shown so far, everything else I’ve seen about Agito seems more interesting to me.

    Every time Shadow Hearts is brought up, I feel immense pain in my chest. Furthermore, Nautilus is now defunct :|

  • Anonymous

    Exactly. I want it, but I don’t expect it to ever happen.

    Much love for Shadow Hearts.

    I think he has mentioned that those unannounced game might even come out before the FFXIII games. The current SE plan, according to him, is to reveal info for games in the order that they’re going to get released in.

    At this rate, Versus XIII will be a PS4 launch title.

  • Anonymous

    I sort of agree with you. I’m just looking forward to details about agito and the 3rd birthday. Though if by any chance one of those unannounced titles turns out to be a new Chrono title it would be really awesome.

    It better not be closed theater!! *shakes fist*

    BandaiNamco pisses me off waaaaay more than S-E

  • Aoshi00

    Every time a new Yakuza game is announced, I feel the pain of no Shenmue :(…

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1472407455 Charles Lupula

    Sega have released a whole lot of quality titles in the last year. It’s just that they have no idea how to market them. The censoring of Yakuza 3 was bad and the Bayonetta PS3 port was just lazy (that port could’ve easily been equal to the 360 version if they had just let someone besides the janitor program it).

    Bamco’s refusal to release the Tales titles in the West is ridiculous, but that’s more a problem with the Western branches, not the company in general.

    With Squeenix, these problems effects the company, as a whole.

  • Aoshi00

    I agree w/ most of what you said, except the enjoying FFXIII part… and as great as Nier was, it wasn’t even made by S-E. The old Square’s gone, frankly, I’m just looking forward to Last Story by Christmas time instead of FF13 VS, whenever that comes out.. Some of my fav. games this gen was from the Gooch, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, ASH, I guess he took a little bit of the old square magic w/ him.

    I swear, if Square doesn’t at least show something competently this TGS, I’m done with them.

    They’ve become more concerned with profits than game quality. Market share than fanbase. On top of that are largely ignoring the PS3, the console everyone expected them to go to.

  • Anonymous

    You expect something sensible from them when they’re announcing twenty new projects while dangling something like KH3 in our faces?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1472407455 Charles Lupula

    That’s exactly my point. I remember a time when Square actually paid attention to their beloved franchises, while continuing to give their fans what they wanted, at the same time they occasionally experimented with stuff like “Bushido Blade.”

    Dude, or dudette, you’ve never played the original Xenogears, have you?

    Its all about pain and suffering – and giant robots of course…

  • http://www.siliconera.com Ishaan

    The Xeno, Chrono, Shadow Hearts and Suikoden fans all need to unite and do a silent march through Japan. If that doesn’t work, nothing will. :)

    I think SE should hire a American born Japanese to do their marketing research who are also a FF fan or SE fan… Seriously… They have been going to a direction so far away I can barely feel their existence anymore…. Interpreting thing all the wrong way as though they are amateurs..Where is the legendary Final fantasy we have been seeing for decades???? Where have their enthusiasm gone to?? Gosh!

  • http://twitter.com/Xuiz enorka miho

    I agree…. this truth is making me weep… Oh~God of Final fantasy please save the soul of SE staff…. Maybe they should drink some elixir themselves…

    Preach!!!

    I don’t particularly care that Square Enix is all about dat cash nowadays, since I never really saw them as a company that made video games for any other reason. Just like most every other developer out there.

    What does irritate me is that their inability to actually release video games in a timely manner. And now we hear news that there’s another unannounced game in development? Ugh.

  • Anonymous

    I agree. The only games I’ve bought from them in the last couple years have all been DS games. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any of their games for PS3/360…

  • Anonymous

    A new Chrono game is the only game in which I would buy any system for, no matter the cost or company, or anything. It’s the only game that I’d buy a system strictly for….and yet it’s never announced, year after year… u_u

  • Anonymous

    Amen, If I don’t get decent news for Versus and Agito I’ll be furious. We have heard nothing from them about it.

  • Anonymous

    They are combining the two most popular/anticipated titles into a short last minute showing? Are you bloody kidding me!! I have waited since whenever it was we got that last trailer for Versus to see something new (in motion). Missing E3 hurt the lack of any news hurt more and now this is a massive kick in the balls.

    Lord of Arcana? Mind Jack?? More KH spinoffs???! They took up time that could have been used on the big titles, I appreciate that they want to be diverse but if it aint broken don’t fix it! They should stop jumping on bandwagons and pointlessly remaking the first few FF titles again and again. I had endless respect for this company and even aspire to work for them so for them to let down fans like this is just plain shameful. Their first strike was putting XIII on the XBox, this is the second.

    Oh gosh, I was holding up pretty well even despite all the mentions of Xeno, but then you just had to go and mention Suikoden… *weeps*

    (Wryyyy Suikoden Tierkreis, WRYYYYYYY. :( Suikoden VI, how I pine for thee. i_i)

    I’m kind of eager to see what they might be doing on the 3DS – FF6 remake, anyone? – but I doubt we’ll see much of that at TGS, especially since Nintendo won’t be there.

  • Anonymous

    Amen, sister. (Or brother??)

    Only thing I have to question is: why have Tetsuya Takahashi work on a Chrono game? He never really had any major involvement with the series. I’d much rather see Yasuyuki Honne (and of course, Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda) attached to a new Chrono game. But I absolutely agree that I’d like to see SquEnix collaborate with Nintendo/Monolith to do it.

    In a perfect world: A couple years from now, Nintendo will announce their new console at E3; one of the premiere trailers is Chrono Break, a launch title, co-developed by Hiromichi Tanaka’s Square Enix team and Yasuyuki Honne’s Monolith Soft team. Masato Kato is on board writing the story, and Yasunori Mitsuda is composing the entirety of the soundtrack. The team’s all together again, and they’re finishing the story.
    Ah… a man can dream…
