Let's Talk about The Square Enix E3 2018 Showcase

[SnowPint7Fourths 432]

Hello Everyone! Here are my thoughts for the Square Enix E3 showcase.

 

Kingdom Hearts III will definitely be shown and will close the conference to make the best impact! I feel it will now be shown at the showcase rather than the orchestra a few days prior, here are my predictions for KH3:

-A new Disney world reveal (Frozen) 

-Debut of Big Hero 6 cutscenes and gameplay

-A deeper look at Tangled particularly the town area

-More Monsters Inc gameplay

-Tower of Terror Attraction Flow Ride

-Judy Hops summon with Zootopia world announcement for KHUX

-English voice acting

- A second trailer that reveals the full KH3 theme song and shows Kairi 

-November or December (can't decide) release date with no specific day revealed just yet

 

Details on the Final Fantasy VII Remake have been sparse since it's reveal with no official trailer released since December 2015. I predict that the remake will be shown but at the Sony conference instead. With Square Enix dropping external companies from the project I believe it has been delayed internally but they will still show a trailer to the same standard that we got for KH3 at E3 2015. We know that Shadow of the Tomb Raider has confirmed a release date on 14th September but we have not received any gameplay footage yet. E3 2018 seems the perfect time to show fans some real time gameplay and start the games marketing push! Dragon Quest XI is scheduled to release in the west on September 4th! Square Enix may showcase the game since the last in the franchise to be localised was Dragon Quest VIII. What's more Dragon Quest Builders 2 is scheduled for 2018! After the great success of the first game another release date seems imminent!

 

At the Tokyo Game Show last year Square Enix announced they we're working on a new shooter Left Alive, scheduled to release this year. A release date with more gameplay and information seems a certainty. Speaking of first-person shooters Square Enix are working on the multiplayer shooter Battalion 1944! The game is set in World War II and is marching towards another 2018 release! Square Enix are developing two games exclusively for the Nintendo Switch including The World Ends With You: Final Remix and Octopath Traveller scheduled to release July 13th this year! It would be worth showing off gameplay for Octopath Traveller and it's fair to assume we will be getting a release date for The World Ends With You!

 

That's eight huge Square Enix games that are going to be released in the second half of 2018!

 

We also know that they are working on a sequel to Life is Strange which will feature a whole new cast of characters, so they may give us our first look at the new setting! Last year Square Enix published a teaser trailer that announced their partnership with Marvel to create The Avengers Project (tentative title). Jumping off the hype of Infinity War now may be the time to show us the first glimpse of what they have been working on! Also in 2017 Square Enix announced a new RPG, Project Prelude Rune (tentative title) that is being developed by their newly established Studio Istolia. The showcase would help to promote more niche projects like this. In addition Square Enix are publishing an unannounced title through the team who co-developed Fortnite although it may be too early to announce anything at the moment. 

 

Finally after the financial success of Final Fantasy XV Hajime Tabata has opened his own studio, 'Luminous Studios' within Square Enix! It may be too early to announce his new project but could Final Fantasy XVI possibly be in early development? We know that Final Fantasy XV will have four additional story DLC's releasing in 2019 so maybe we will receive some minor information on the first DLC release. Furthermore they will also have the opportunity to announce any further partnerships or items coming to the game. 

 

So that's all my thoughts on Square Enix's showcase! I don't think everything will be shown but when you break it down it's great to see the wide variety of games Square has to offer. Square Enix have been quite busy haven't they?

Seems about right. I really like your KH3 predictions.

I'm going to put my nuggets on the table and say Final Fantasy 16 will be there, but it will just say that it's "Now in Development". It's been a year and a half since 15 released, now is the time to announce it. I'm sure it's been in development for longer than their letting on, but that's just going to lead me to conspiracy talk lol

Look, i'm not asking much. I just want a Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer with the same length as the Dream Drop Distance Special trailer.

Yeah i have to Agree with your Opinion

[ExperienceTheDivine 21]

I’d love to have a longer trailer like the dream drop distance trailer that shows up to 3 new worlds off. I realize they like to reveal one world at a time, but the fact of the matter is the game is coming out this year’s and there’s plenty more to reveal. I’d love for Frozen, Wreck-It-Ralph and The Jungle Book to be revealed with story elements for Tangled being shown off, especially with Mother Gothel. As for the summon reveal, my guess is that it will either be Adult Bambi, Dumbo or Pongo.

Dang man, I'm loving your predictions! Odds are that we're going to get quite the lengthy trailer, maybe capping off at 6 to 7 minutes, showing off gameplay and cutscenes and a world reveal or two! It would be awesome if we finally got to see some footage of San Fransokyo in action! That'd be something to see, and I'd also love it if we finally got our first look at how Xehanort would look like in KHIII, along with a line or two to hear how his voice sounds so we can all get to speculating on who's the new voice actor/actors for the English and Japanese versions! I'm hoping that the trailer this time around is in English!

 

As for a world reveal, since this is E3 and this might be the biggest KHIII trailer yet, it'd be awesome if Roy Conli came out to announce that Treasure Planet would be a world in Kingdom Hearts III! Dang, that'd make me go berserk with fanboy happiness!

 

I'm so excited, we're exactly a month away from the Showcase! The hype is real! :')

[John Horton 111]

Okay so here's what I want

 

Before E3 2018: Kingdom Hearts Orchestra Event

 

New Trailer (With a Rumored Jungle Book World being in it)

 

Then a Message telling us Stay Tune for a Brand New Trailer and World Announcements (At least 2 or three of them)

 

E3 2018

New Trailer 

 

Kairi and Lea Footage

 

Master Xehanort and the 13 Darknesses

 

San Fransokyo Footage (If we don't see any footage then most likely for TGS 2018)

 

English Dub

 

New Worlds: Frozen, Treasure Planet (If Roy Conli does it Please Roy Conli please let there be a Treasure Planet World for Kingdom Hearts III) and Wreck-it-Ralph.
