What a terrible show. Practically every announcement was shortchanged by some major downside that killed any excitement you might have for the game. Guardians? Who cares, it's from the same studio that made Avengers. Hitman? You don't even play Agent 47. A New Platinum game, yay! ...it's a live service title. Boo!

@Barighm: the developer seems strong, but I’m not sure avengers is anything I care about. I get the impression it’s less a real game, and more another multiplayer free to play thing that you pay for.

I bought it on sale so we’ll see…

I didn't know Team Ninja was still a thing. One of gaming's greatest tragedies was seeing Itagaki leave there. Ninja Gaiden on Xbox is still one of the best games I ever played.

FF XVI, DQ XII, and Forspoken are the only games I'm interested in from SE right now. Didn't see any of them!

@walbo: yeah, I’ll buy ff7 when it hits Xbox. Maybe Sony’s paying until they finish it or something.

@wolfpup7: yea its seems that way. Its the only game on PlayStation im jelly about lol. Original final fantasy 7 through ten litterly saved my life as a kid with there world keeping me indoors and away from temptation. Hopefully gamepass will get the complete edition eventually, in the meantime gamepass will keep me occupied its crazy i haven't had to buy a game since Christmas 2019 because of its existence haha.

Dunno if I'm in the minority here, but that Final Fantasy Origins game looks like crap. Really crappy crap at that.

It looked like a high effort high school CS project.

@dancingcactus: You're definitely not in the minority. It looks like the bastard child of FF15 and Dynasty Warriors.

@Barighm: The MC looks like an OC/build your own character that someone was too lazy to finish. The writers forgot language extends beyond the name 'Chaos', and the overall graphical style looks like genuine garbage.

It is good to know that for once my opinions aren't considered entirely wrong by the rest of the world.

For the final showcase of their presentation SE sure did their best to see just how much they could destroy not only their reputation, but that of Final Fantasy as well.

WTH was that? Nothing for FF7 remake PC release or anything on the next chapter at this rate everyone that actually played the original is gonna die of old age before the remake is done...Then nothing for Project Triangle Strategy and nothing for FF16. They keep trying to resurrect that awful Avengers game, which already broke my heart since I love Marvel. I just hope the GotG one isn't trash too.

@Chupert: More to come at Tokyo Game Show at the end of September no doubt. But yeah this was lackluster for them overall.

@Kesmai: Yeah, Japan centric devs prefer the Tokyo show these days for their bigger announcements.
