List of possible Square Enix games at their E3 press conference for 2015

[Sora96 17,256]

The following is a detailed list that contains every single announced and rumoured title that could appear at Square Enix's first major press conference since 2011's 1st Production Premiere Event which only focused on Square Enix Japan's first four business divisions. For reference, that conference featured the announcement of Final Fantasy XIII-2, and also covered Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII's re-announcement as Final Fantasy Type-0, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.

 

Firstly, let's focus on Square Enix Japan.

 

Motomu Toriyama's title.

 

The man who has directed more Final Fantasy games than anyone else ever confirmed on December 27, 2014 in a developer survey with 4Gamer.net that “My next title is in well underway in development. We’ll be able to announce it in 2015, so please look forward to it!” Recently, Square Enix president & CEO, Yosuke Matsuda confirmed a new JRPG for home consoles will be revealed at or around E3 2015, there is a strong chance this is the same title. What could the title be? Final Fantasy X-3 seems the most likely after Kazushige Nojima's infamous audio drama which is again included in the upcoming PlayStation 4 port of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD and novella.

 

Mobius Final Fantasy

 

A console-quality title for smartphones. It will likely launch in Japan shortly after E3 2015.

 

Final Fantasy VIII for PS4 port

 

After the Final Fantasy VII port it's likely the PC version of Final Fantasy VIII will be ported to PlayStation 4.

 

Lightning Saga for PlayStation 4 & Xbox One

 

1080p assets already exist for the trilogy after the recent PC ports.

 

Final Fantasy XV

 

Dare I say it, a release window could be announced.

 

Final Fantasy Agito/Final Fantasy Agito+

 

Sony's taking awhile to fix Agito+'s issue and the international version of Agito is yet to be shown.

 

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- & The 3rd Birthday HD remasters

 

Tabata made it clear he didn't want to remaster them but due to demand and the fact Crisis Core is unplayable on modern hardware I'll have them here.

 

Kingdom Hearts III

 

It'll be at D23 but they could still show a teaser at E3.

 

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX for PS4

 

They're likely to be ported at some point and Tai Yasue made that clear back in December.

 

Kingdom Hearts 3D HD Remaster

 

Tetsuya Nomura confirmed it's possible and I'd be surprised if it isn't ported to PS4 before KH3 is released.

 

SaGa (2015)

 

A brand new SaGa game is in development for the PlayStation Vita to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the SaGa series. News has been quiet since announcement and no international announcement yet.

 

Final Fantasy Explorers & Final Fantasy 3DS port

 

Trademarked in the U.S last year, still no announcement.

 

Final Fantasy II 3DS port

 

Since they ported the first game I'd be surprised if they didn't port the second.

 

Dissidia Final Fantasy

 

Currently in testing in Japan, Hazama made it very clear he wanted it exclusive to arcades for at least a year. I wouldn't expect any news outside of Japan until they are ready to port it to PS4.

 

Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts

 

Hazama has discussed doing this before and after the recent Dragon Quest version it's possible, but I'd say it's more likely for D23.

 

Rampage Land Rankers

 

From Mitsunori Takahashi, the director of Dissidia 012 and developed by HexaDrive. Unfortunately it's probably too small for an event like this.

 

Theatrhythm Dragon Quest

 

Localization wouldn't be too hard for this one, wouldn't be surprised if we get it localized.

 

Final Fantasy VII G-Bike

 

It's coming worldwide but we haven't seen it in English yet.

 

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward

 

Releases a week later and is at pretty much every event.

 

Final Fantasy XI: Rhapsodies of Vana’diel

 

I'd be very surprised if they showed this.

 

Final Fantasy Grandmasters

 

A mobile spin-off from FFXI is unlikely to get much attention at E3.

 

Final Fantasy XI Mobile

 

There just isn't room for it.

 

Dragon Quest Heroes

 

No information since announcement of international release, would be surprised if it's not there.

 

Bravely Second

 

After the first title's success it's a good chance to appear.

 

Dragon Quest XI

 

Would expect this at TGS to be honest.

 

Dragon Quest 3DS titles

 

​Four 3DS titles sitting exclusively in Japan, they know there is some demand so hopefully some of them are coming.

 

Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness

 

No international announcement yet, isn't big outside of Japan but could be a great chance to show off it in the western market.

 

School of Ragnarok

 

It's an arcade game but a console port appears possible.

 

Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster

 

Kitase said he wanted it, it's a mainline title and there's plenty of demand.

 

Final Fantasy Legends: Crystal of Space-Time

 

Tokita's last new game, Final Fantasy Dimensions appeared at E3 2012, this one could too.

 

A new Mana game

 

There's a new Mana game coming for the 25th anniversary, likely for handhelds.

 

Chaos Rings III & Chaos Rings III: Prequel Trilogy

 

No international announcement yet but is likely to get one at some stage.

 

Rise of Mana

 

No international announcement and appears unlikely to get one now.

 

Final Fantasy Portal App

 

It's been trademarked, it's coming, but unlikely to appear.

 

Holy Dungeon

 

Would expect this to be released worldwide, but I would be shocked if it was at E3.

 

Final Fantasy III PS4 port

 

Would be a waste of time at E3.

 

 

Now for the western titles

 

Rise of the Tomb Raider

 

Probably Square Enix's 2nd biggest title in development. While likely to feature at Microsoft's press conference the official Twitter accounts for Tomb Raider & Crystal Dynamics retweeted the conference.

 

Just Cause 3

 

Just Cause 2 was a smash hit and there is plenty of hype for this title.

 

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

 

Another title with plenty of hype.

 

Hitman 6

 

They pretty much confirmed it to appear at E3 2015 last year.

 

Triad Wars

 

Currently in beta, might want to promote the launch.

 

Nosgoth

 

Currently in beta, might want to promote the launch.

 

Life is Strange

 

Episodes 4 & 5 unlikely to be released at this point.

Dang that's a long list. Glad to see SE getting active towards their E3 conference.

"Nomura confirmed that KH3D remaster is possible"

 

Where'd he say that? The only times he talked about a KH3D HD were when he said that he didn't like it being the odd one out and when he said that he thought that having only one game on the disc unlike 1.5 and 2.5 wouldn't appeal that much to consumers.

"technological tests have proven that we are capable of making an HD version of the game"

Nomura: On one hand, technological tests have proven that we are capable of making an HD version of the game, but on the other hand, I also feel that it may not be as appealing (compared to Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX) if we release Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] on its own. We are still trying to determine what would be the best course of action. I just thought I should finish the quote for you.

We should really start to take the problems with KH3DHD more seriously, unless it's released with 1.5+2.5 or with a localized version of KHX I don't think it'll happen. I don't really want KH3DHD because there's no Final Mix version of the game, but I'd buy it if Square released KHX with it. I think that the most likely release for KH3DHD is after or at the same time as KH3's release date (assuming that it would be released along with KHX) not this year.

Yes, and I never denied that. I simply stated it is possible.
