This whole 15 thing is becoming pathetic.

eh, they had new footage 2 months at some Asian convention/conference. I'm not too concerned this time around. I do get your concerns though. It was also misleading because their latest E3 video did say Final Fantasy news...but I guess it's all going to be about FFXIV updates (new classes I guess)

Seems logical. E3 is an American convention TGS is when most Japanese guys are gonna roll out their stuff and prioritize their own market.

That footage amounted to a little new animation and a different camera angle in the same scenes we've already shown you.

And new footage for a game that has been in (some kind of) development for 8 years. I sure hope there would be some footage. Sorry, that's pathetic.

They re-announce the game with a promise that there will be steady info. It's bad enough when you have to re-introduce a game and even worse when you are unable to keep up the momentum. There hasn't been a steady amount of info and thus it is hard to believe them when they say "oh sure development is fine"

"yeah development is fine for this 8 year old game that we've hardly been able to show anything for".

Did'nt Hashimoto say they wanted to show the game at the best time for the fans? Well gee wouldn't E3 be the best time? The time people are excited for new game info. You're game is already a joke and instead of showing people that it basically actually exists you have empty words of "it's coming" and "please be excited". Nothing to show for it though.

No, E3 is a gaming convention. Not too long ago Japanese developers pretty much owned the thing. Besides the fact is FF is a international franchisee.

Also you know what games were announced at E3?:

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy AGITO
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Final Fantasy XV

Clearly they've never had a problem announcing things at E3.

Worry not, we'll get some info after E3 apparently.

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/05/something-related-to-final-fantasys-lighting-to-appear-on-famitsu-after-e3/

Specifically more Lightning, which I'm looking forward to.

Already this sounds like BS. We got a small preview for KHIII at the end of the trailer for 2.5 HD Remix, and if I recall, they said that there wouldn't be anything about FFXV last year either (well, they said 'Versus XIII' because they weren't calling it that anymore).

Lighting!?!? Really is there more Lightning? I'm a fan of the 13 trilogy and even I think she's had her day.

You can never have too much Lightning.

I hope she becomes like Cid and Biggs/Wedge and is in every future FF game from now on.

No I think everyone has had too much Lighting. Those XIII games continually declined in sales everywhere. Another game would do even more poorly compared to the already poor LR.

Don't even attempt to bring up that XIII and XIII-2 are the best selling PS3 games in Japan. That says more about the brand and consoles in Japan, not the XIII series.

There is what a 50% drop in sales from XIII to XIII-2? I think an even higher drop in sales from XIII-2 to LR. No, this is not the norm for FF sequels.

We don't need anymore XIII games.

You are correct, FFXIII-2 was actually above norm in it's carry over percentage

X: 6.6 Million
X-2: 4 Million

40% drop

Tactics: 2.4 Million
Tactics Advanced: 1 Million

60% drop

XII: 5.2 Million
XII Revenant Wings: 1.04 Million

80% drop

VII: 10 Million
VII Crisis Core: 1.5 Million

85% drop

Pretty impressive to hit 2nd place. I suppose that is the staying power of the game, or perhaps Lightning's given she was considered the most popular Final Fantasy female. A nice accomplishment!
