Square Enix Confirmed for E3 Attendance

The Electronic Entertainment Expo website (E3) recently published the full exhibitor list, with Square Enix being confirmed as attending.

Timberland2K96291d ago

I have a strange feeling that there is a strong reason why SE is giving microsoft all those exclusive games and it doesn't involve money.

Agree or disagree I think FFXIII is still PS3 exclusive due to technique issues.

Didn't Someone say that it had 120 hours of gameplay. Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc.

IrishAssa6291d ago

multiple dvds and compression techniques

Lucreto6291d ago

I think SE want to level the field so to speak so they can go muliplatform. All the JRPG's will build a base for the 360 so I see that SO$ will hopefully be the last SE exclusive.

- Ghost of Sparta -6291d ago

Too bad this game fell off my radar like a year ago lol. Too many other PS3 games I want right now, just can't seem to get myself to care about another RPG from Square-Enix.

BRACHATTACK6291d ago

As much as i'd like for it to be exclusive, SE wouldn't have announced it to be multiplatform if they weren't 100% sure it would work on the 360.

But as long as it remains exclusive in Japan, Sony aren't worried.

Eiffel6290d ago (Edited 6290d ago )

Why would you want it to remain exclusive?

Don't want other people to enjoy a game just because its not on your console only, eh?

Kind of selfish holmes.

Even as a 360 owner I don't want this trash to be honest.

Le Idiotce6290d ago

and therefore screwed.

I cant possibly see any justification in the game going multi platform.

It increases waiting time, fanboy ignorance and arrogance, quality of the game and more.

hay6290d ago (Edited 6290d ago )

Now Squeenix will shock gaming world again. They'll announce that Xbox360 getting FFXIII was a joke! /jk just kidding, FF13 is shaping quite nicely and all FF fans deserve to play it. Although I still prefer exlusives quality.

" Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc.
"
120 hours of gameplay without the "gfx" and "sound" and "physics" It would be just a wall of text with Booleans/Ints/Numbers(floats)/ Strings/functions and many other datatypes.(meaning you could actually put more than 120 of hours of gameplay, but without the gfx its pretty much pointless unless its a text bases RPG XD)

Do you even know what you are talking about?

Also the longer the Gameplay doesn't always mean it needs more texture packages, new character models or whatever.
If im not mistaken you could also get 100 hours out of Tales of symphonia, yet GCN-discs were small in size.

But sure im going for 2 discs maybe 3 =).

GameGambits6290d ago

I really hope SE finally unleashes their new FF mmo that's being developed by the same guys who did FFXI MMO.

Lifendz6290d ago

Square Enix could be forced to delay FFXIII indefinitely (in the U.S. at least) and MS would still make it a profitable endeavor for them. Anything to counter Sony is the MS motto. So FF fans that don't speak Japanese you can forget about FFXIII for the foreseeable future. It sucks but that's business.

For Sony to get Square to release FFXIII in the U.S. when it's ready and before the 360 version comes out, they'd not only have to give them whatever MS did but they'd also have to pay the inevitable legal fees SE would incur from the lawsuit MS would bring.

odisho686290d ago

...Kingdom Hearts 3...PS3 Exclusive???...that will give me something to be excited about

Arnon6290d ago

"Didn't Someone say that it had 120 hours of gameplay. Tell me how that would fit on a dvd without minus graphics sound physics etc."

Oblivion AND Fallout 3 have over 100 hours of gameplay AND they most likely have more detail. They both fit on a DVD-9, and Fallout 3 actually performed better.

Is compression just non-existent on this site? Or is it because no one has found a logical use of the blu-ray format for gaming?

Bubbles, that just made my fuzzy causing me to laugh.

1) FFvXIII going multi.
2) FFXIII returns as PS3 exclusive because of tech issues as well as disc cost.
3) The FFVII remake is 360-only.
4) Old FFVII~FFIX to be re-released on PSN (Sony's $40 games ?)

Le Idiotce6290d ago (Edited 6290d ago )

as much as you becoming a famous moviestar or a billionaire.

You have a higher chance of seeing the moon turn green than to see FF7 on 360.

SpoonyRedMage6290d ago

I don't think they own the IP though like Square don't own the IP for Infinite Undiscovery even though they published it.

If anything I can see SE working their way through the FFs up to IX on the DS, they would all be possible I think.

hay6290d ago

Squeenix has dropped one bomb. All their other attendants on any expos and conferences were quite boring. Why awaiting another bomb? Statistically there's higher chance that they'll arrive, fart on their chairs and go back where they came from.
But honestly, I would love to see they announce FF5 and 6(next gen please) remakes or fully blown CT sequel.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi6290d ago

*wipes forehead*

was worried they weren't gonna show /sarcasm

Sir Ken_Kutaragi6290d ago

DON'T TELL Micro$oft!!! ;-D
Wonder what they are going to STEAL next???

queerbearandchicken6290d ago

that they are xbox's sluts

and will proceed to take it in the bum by every M$ employee

LeonSKennedy4Life6290d ago

They're going to be next to Microsoft. That can only mean one thing: Final Fantasy XIII footage.

Oh wait...that's extremely boring.

SAiOSiN6290d ago (Edited 6290d ago )

funny how they'll showcase the footage on the ps3 version. unless they change the buttons from x to A, o to B, [] to x, and /\ to Y on screen to make it appear like it's on 360...

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg21d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree21d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai21d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
