By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - There isn't much to watch.
It's Monday, which is important since E3 Weeks 2018 extends past the weekend before E3. For this log, we're live-reacting to Square Enix's long-awaited presentation! They don't show up to E3 every year, you know, so they must have something really awesome in store for us!
We're joined by myself (of course), RawkHawk2010, and not-a-staff-member-but-in-our-Discord and Dragon Quest subject matter expert, Mariosun90! (Here as Ryu.)
Remember: You can be fully up-to-date on everything E3 2018 by bookmarking our excellent Schedule article.
[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay so like I said
[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: Don't care about Square
[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: I like Bravely Default music and might like Mana if I played it.
[12:55 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: What if Chrono Trigger gets a third sequel?
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...or second sequel.
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or a third game in the franchise is what I want to say.
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or the Final Fantasy remake comes to Switch and Cloud is confirmed to come back?
[12:56 PM] RawkHawk2010: Are you trying to kill Mitsuda?
[12:56 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay well
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: We somehow had Square Enix as the best conference of 2015, the last time they were around during E3.
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: If FFVII was brought to Switch, I'd obviously be a lot more okay with Cloud.
[12:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (That was the 30th anniversary of Mari0 E3)
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: btw I played Dragon Quest Builders demo.
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: Ehhh
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: Might've been alright.
[12:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well that's just a Minecraft cash-in.
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think you'd have to care about Dragon Quest anyway to care.
[12:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That obviously doesn't represent the capacity of Square!
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well people love it.
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: Including reviewers.
[12:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There are morons out there claiming Pokémon Quest is a great game.
[12:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So screw reviewers.
[12:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They're putting that garbage over Kirby Air Ride.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: Builders still didn't seem bad.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: It had goals.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: Spawning cubes was just the vehicle for achieving it.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: E3 2015 must've sucked.
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It did.
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: IT'S STARTING
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I have full confidence that Square Enix can get 2nd place.
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Square Innix
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: I always Eeenix
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (I have full confidence that Nintendo can't screw up first.)
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: So does this guy
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe not
[1:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This guy's voice sounds like Netanyahu.
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Japanese Netanyahu.
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Talking with the back of the throat, yeah
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Tomb Raider
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh I thought the Square Enix logo was stuck.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Maybe Square will acquire the other half of the industry that Microsoft hasn't.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...eh that'll probably be Sony.
[1:02 PM] Ryu: All I care is Dragon Quest
[1:02 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sony buys Playtonic.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: GUY FELL OFF THE PLANE
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: LARA CAN'T GET A SEATBELT ON
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THAT'S HER BIGGEST PRIORITY
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: That looked like a scenario where you keep the seatbelt off
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Lara trying to stop Mayan apocalypse.
I thought the Mayan apocalypse was FAKE NEWS.
[1:03 PM] Ryu: It's Tomb Raider. I can go back to what I was doing before this
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: They say if the windshield is already gone, forget the seatbelt
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: FLASHLIGHT
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: So that you can possibly be ejected upon impact
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Nevermind Lara is trying to kill the Flashlighters.
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And now they're killing each other.
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And she gets experience for it.
[1:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is there an experience metre just because it's a Square game?
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And where's the voice coming from?
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oh, dumb guards.
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Really dumb guards.
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Body here! Looks recent!"
[1:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: YOU WERE JUST TALKING TO THE GUY 30 SECONDS AGO
[1:06 PM] RawkHawk2010: Is this beating EA so far?
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Uh...
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No.
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Unravel 2 > this
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Of course, we have tombs. We have more of them... and they're deadlier...than ever before."
[1:08 PM] Ryu: I'm back and same trailer is playing
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You missed gameplay that makes the game look bad.
[1:08 PM] RawkHawk2010: Who dis
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: OKAY HERE'S SOME WEEB STUFF
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: LET'S GOO
[1:08 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Stormblood: Final Fantasy XIV Online
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: Hasn't Final Fantasy 14 been going on for ages?
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That's how game-as-a-service works, man.
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think @Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy may play this.
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: Could be wrong.
[1:09 PM] Ryu: MMO never dies
[1:09 PM] Ryu: FFXIV is still very active
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: She's playing Black Desert Online right now; would be nice if she changed it to Final Fantasy.
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Would be better if she was participating with us.
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Patch 4.3"
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: AHH
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: GOATS
[1:10 PM] Ryu: MH
[1:10 PM] Ryu: cool
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wait wtf
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This is supposed to be Square Enix.
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Fusion?
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wot's Monster Hunter doing here?
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Mario + Rabbids
[1:10 PM] Ryu: Oh, they're putting Rathalos in FF14
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Final Fantasy + Monster Hunter
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: lol that Mac symbol
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: We've seen a lot of things from Capcom at this E3 and still no Phoenix Wright.
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: NOT GOOD
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: See? Dontnod Entertainment.
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Not "Don't Do Entertainment"
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Here are the Life is Strangers.
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: One's named Koch
[1:12 PM] Ryu: Oh, it's a French company?
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Was hoping they both were so they could be Koch Brothers
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Ubisoft doesn't have a monopoly on French devs.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (Ubisoft coming later today.)
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Zank you
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: That sounded German.
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well kinda.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's not a Life is Strange sequel, but a game in its universe.
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Not really.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: HADOUKEN
[1:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit "100% free"
[1:13 PM] Ryu: Dragon Quest
[1:13 PM] RawkHawk2010: Lol that sucked.
[1:13 PM] Ryu: 11
[1:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I like how "free" isn't enough, now it's "100% free"
[1:13 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dragon Quest
[1:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oooh nice sword.
[1:14 PM] Ryu: I was hoping they would change DQ theme a bit
[1:14 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think they're playing the wrong song.
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dragon Balls
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Affinity Orbs
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Stones*
[1:15 PM] Ryu: I bet they showed the ending there
[1:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No slimes??
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: I don't think I like DQ music btw.
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:16 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SLIME
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Slime.
[1:16 PM] Ryu: Am I supposed to get the collector edition?
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: ......
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay well that was that.
[1:16 PM] Ryu: whoa, slime went so fast. I missed it when typing here
[1:16 PM] Ryu: I should dual screen
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sorry Ludwig.
[1:16 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I screenshotted slime
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: but I'm not sure what the announcement was.
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Final Fantasy Brave Exvius"
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Final Fantasy x Dragon Quest something
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Sept. 2018 2nd Collaboration"
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Is this Bravely Third?
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Wait no
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It promo'd with a Slime and a Moogle.
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Probably Octopath Traveler
[1:17 PM] Ryu: Looks like it
[1:17 PM] Ryu: wait, it's too 3D
[1:17 PM] Ryu: it's that FF fighting game
[1:18 PM] Ryu: maybe
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dissids?
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Babylon's Fall"
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Babylon's Fall
[1:18 PM] Ryu: oh well
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Developed by PlatinumGames.
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wait wot
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: PlatinumGames.
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Platinum games. so it must be good
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Huh.
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sarcasm?
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Never
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Star Fox Zero tho.
[1:18 PM] Ryu: That was mostly Nintendo's
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a Final Fantasy mobile game.
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe only awful when Miyamoto's involved.
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So they're putting some slimes/Dragon Quest content into it.
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: In celebration of Dragon Quest XI.
[1:19 PM] RawkHawk2010: @Ryu Scalebound was so bad it got canceled btw.
[1:19 PM] Ryu: No Switch
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Here's some Switch.
[1:19 PM] RawkHawk2010: Octopath
[1:19 PM] Ryu: Never could tell if it was bad, since it got cancelled
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SWITCH SNAP
[1:19 PM] Ryu: there's Octopath
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Unlike DQ, music sounds good.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is the only way they're gonna tell us if there's a Switch game is if they choreograph it with the snap?
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yes
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Octopath Traveler available in one month.
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Better to know at the start than the end.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I never played the demo/beta despite having downloaded it.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I thought Just Cause 4 came out years ago.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is that the game with the evil Anderson Cooper?
[1:20 PM] Ryu: DQ's music is great. DQ's theme is just overused
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: Never heard a good DQ track, you'll have to link me later.
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Black Hand?
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: Didn't that start World War I?
[1:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They're from Jackie Chan Adventures.
[1:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And that, too.
[1:22 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Anyway, Just Cause 4 features bikes, cars, exotic vehicles, cranes, and more.
[1:22 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You should like that.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: And crashing.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yay.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: wtf
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: You can attach balloons to vehicles.
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: From Breath of the Wild?
[1:23 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yes
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Dancing Africans.
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or maybe Central Americans.
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I didn't pay attention to the setting.
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: New game, showing dude in a hoodie in a city.
[1:24 PM] RawkHawk2010: Kylo Ren?\
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Got some Spanish goon.
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Probably MS-13.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "The Quiet Man"
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: He beat up the MS-13-ers.
PS4 and Steam.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: hmmmmmmm
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: That reminded me of Hatred
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Anyway here's the main event.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: KINGDOM HEARTS III.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: Where it's just beating people's asses for no reason.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's a different trailer than yesterday's.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ....nevermind it's the same.
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm still not screenshotting Elsa.
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Exciting stuff.
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You said you forgot about the trailer during Microsoft's presentation, so here it is again!
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Do we like anything about Disney?
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Wait
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm not gonna say "no."
[1:27 PM] RawkHawk2010: Did we see Ratalllouie last time?
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I don't remember seeing him; felt like the first time just now.
[1:27 PM] RawkHawk2010: This is new yeah
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No it's not.
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Hercules scene in both.
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And Toy Story.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And you cursed Toy Story for some reason.
[1:28 PM] RawkHawk2010: There's no way all this is old.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And Mickey in the dark void.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It is! It's the same trailer.
[1:28 PM] RawkHawk2010: Also I liked WALL-E
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But now whatever they're showing is new.
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: And liked the turtles from Finding Nemo.
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: That's it.
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wait wtf this is a montage.
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is it over already?
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: Probably
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Thanks for joining the Square Enix E3 Showcase 2018"
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wait what?
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: Square isn't exactly huge
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wtf this was the whole thing
[1:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: WHAAT
[1:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THEY COULD'VE JUST DONE A DIRECT
[1:30 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well they basically did didn't they?
[1:30 PM] RawkHawk2010: They didn't have a stage.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: 2015 they did an hour and fifteen minutes.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And they had a stage.
[1:31 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:31 PM] RawkHawk2010: Stage musta cost too much.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: With people IN COSTUMES.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHDuw8WSekI6GGdpXf1tUy7Ypszcj5Ex_NgGqiFpPMCNS9II6TQ0DUX3jshJ2vNJBh5Iei0v0k4q-0ncYOMXVtZPyVuJrpimOX00HokIkZIY0h0iCjDATCCTfwz8hQcOy3G0s4A8DEnrR-/s640/Square-Enix-E3-2015.png
[1:31 PM] Ryu: It was nothing. lol
[1:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wtf I don't want to rate this low
[1:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They didn't have anything exclusive to this show besides that bad Tomb Raider footage.
[1:33 PM] RawkHawk2010: Nothing about this was good.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They had three years to think of a new conference and they got this?
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I want to say it was better than EA's but I'm actually not sure, it's kinda arguable.
[1:33 PM] RawkHawk2010: I liked the ten seconds of Octopath Traveler music.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: At least they didn't go on for an hour with this amount of content.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They respected our time!
[1:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...sorta.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: And Final Fantasy XIV footage looked kinda exciting but it's a years-old game.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: and yeah
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: They didn't make us sit there and bitch.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: ala Command and Conquer Mobile.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: EA damaged our mental health.
[1:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This was barely longer than Devolver Digital.
[1:34 PM] Ryu: They just showed some same trailer for DQXI, nothing new lol
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Was the slime part at the end new?
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: Unlike EA, this was "innocently shit"
[1:35 PM] Ryu: I didn't see it, but I think so
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, I'm fine rating Square based on slime.
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: If this gets a F it's at least F+
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: It's not F-
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: If the only new content is bad Tomb Raider footage and a Slime promo.
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah, I guess.
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm not even mad, despite what it sounds like.
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: Just taken aback?
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm actually grinning in silent laughter.
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Quiet Man
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Quiet Koopa*
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The Quiet Man was sort of this whole conference.
[1:37 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh yeah
[1:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Was that new?
[1:37 PM] RawkHawk2010: yes
[1:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Alright; I'm not really sure what that was.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But I'm fine with beating up MS-13 gang members.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's more current than, say, Nazis.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (Note: My only basis for identifying them as MS-13 is that they're a Hispanic gang.)
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: Thought on Dragon Quest?
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: No one could have told me that wasn't already out.
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh, negative.
[1:40 PM] RawkHawk2010: More Capcom involvement with that Monster Hunter crossover stuff reduces chances of Ace Attorney yet further.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: Capcom may not be remotely involved in making that but they have to supervise it.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: That's less talent to supervise Ace Attorney.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: Not good.
[1:42 PM] Ryu: That was indeed a DQ trailer
[1:42 PM] Ryu: They don't change the formula, nor the theme(edited)
[1:44 PM] Ryu: Might have been one of the first time we hear the English voices though
[1:44 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That CAPCOM logic is probably dangerous.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Kingdom Hearts just ain't deliverin' man.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Imagine the people who have this as their most hyped game.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Surely they're not satisfied with this.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: And Sony acts like it's not gonna play a huge role tonight.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe none.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: Or may just be the same trailer for the third time.
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Our post-event commentary has taken over half the time of the actual event now.
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But yeah...
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Maybe Sony has exclusive Kingdom Hearts stuff... or...
[1:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Or there is more to come after E3.
[1:47 PM] RawkHawk2010: Or
...Or... or what? Well, KoopaTV returns in a couple of hours for the next conference. We're far from done today, so keep staying tuned! ...Also, if you know about the animals of Final Fantasy XIV, please contribute your knowledge in the comments. And, yes, KoopaTV now knows after-the-fact the two E3 2018 trailers of Kingdom Hearts III are different.
The last time Square Enix had a presentation, it was in 2015 and it was the best presentation of E3 2015.
The previous presentation for E3 2018 had no overlap with this one, at least.
Square Enix absolutely rocked their E3 2019 presentation.
It's Monday, which is important since E3 Weeks 2018 extends past the weekend before E3. For this log, we're live-reacting to Square Enix's long-awaited presentation! They don't show up to E3 every year, you know, so they must have something really awesome in store for us!
We're joined by myself (of course), RawkHawk2010, and not-a-staff-member-but-in-our-Discord and Dragon Quest subject matter expert, Mariosun90! (Here as Ryu.)

[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay so like I said
[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: Don't care about Square
[12:55 PM] RawkHawk2010: I like Bravely Default music and might like Mana if I played it.
[12:55 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: What if Chrono Trigger gets a third sequel?
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...or second sequel.
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or a third game in the franchise is what I want to say.
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or the Final Fantasy remake comes to Switch and Cloud is confirmed to come back?
[12:56 PM] RawkHawk2010: Are you trying to kill Mitsuda?
[12:56 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay well
[12:56 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: We somehow had Square Enix as the best conference of 2015, the last time they were around during E3.
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: If FFVII was brought to Switch, I'd obviously be a lot more okay with Cloud.
[12:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (That was the 30th anniversary of Mari0 E3)
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: btw I played Dragon Quest Builders demo.
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: Ehhh
[12:57 PM] RawkHawk2010: Might've been alright.
[12:57 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well that's just a Minecraft cash-in.
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think you'd have to care about Dragon Quest anyway to care.
[12:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That obviously doesn't represent the capacity of Square!
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well people love it.
[12:58 PM] RawkHawk2010: Including reviewers.
[12:58 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: There are morons out there claiming Pokémon Quest is a great game.
[12:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So screw reviewers.
[12:59 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They're putting that garbage over Kirby Air Ride.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: Builders still didn't seem bad.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: It had goals.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: Spawning cubes was just the vehicle for achieving it.
[12:59 PM] RawkHawk2010: E3 2015 must've sucked.
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It did.
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: IT'S STARTING
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I have full confidence that Square Enix can get 2nd place.
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Square Innix
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: I always Eeenix
[1:00 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (I have full confidence that Nintendo can't screw up first.)
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: So does this guy
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well
[1:00 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe not
[1:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This guy's voice sounds like Netanyahu.
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:01 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Japanese Netanyahu.
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Talking with the back of the throat, yeah
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Tomb Raider
[1:01 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh I thought the Square Enix logo was stuck.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Maybe Square will acquire the other half of the industry that Microsoft hasn't.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...eh that'll probably be Sony.
[1:02 PM] Ryu: All I care is Dragon Quest
[1:02 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sony buys Playtonic.
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: GUY FELL OFF THE PLANE
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: LARA CAN'T GET A SEATBELT ON
[1:02 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THAT'S HER BIGGEST PRIORITY
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: That looked like a scenario where you keep the seatbelt off
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Lara trying to stop Mayan apocalypse.
I thought the Mayan apocalypse was FAKE NEWS.
[1:03 PM] Ryu: It's Tomb Raider. I can go back to what I was doing before this
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: They say if the windshield is already gone, forget the seatbelt
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: FLASHLIGHT
First flashlight of E3 2018. Hello, CandlePowerForums (CPF). (Their lives don't end well.) |
[1:03 PM] RawkHawk2010: So that you can possibly be ejected upon impact
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Nevermind Lara is trying to kill the Flashlighters.
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And now they're killing each other.
[1:03 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And she gets experience for it.
[1:04 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is there an experience metre just because it's a Square game?
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And where's the voice coming from?
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oh, dumb guards.
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Really dumb guards.
[1:05 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Body here! Looks recent!"
[1:06 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: YOU WERE JUST TALKING TO THE GUY 30 SECONDS AGO
[1:06 PM] RawkHawk2010: Is this beating EA so far?
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Uh...
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No.
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Unravel 2 > this
[1:07 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Of course, we have tombs. We have more of them... and they're deadlier...than ever before."
[1:08 PM] Ryu: I'm back and same trailer is playing
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You missed gameplay that makes the game look bad.
[1:08 PM] RawkHawk2010: Who dis
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: OKAY HERE'S SOME WEEB STUFF
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: LET'S GOO
[1:08 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:08 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Stormblood: Final Fantasy XIV Online
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: Hasn't Final Fantasy 14 been going on for ages?
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That's how game-as-a-service works, man.
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think @Sooper Sekrit Agent Wendy may play this.
[1:09 PM] RawkHawk2010: Could be wrong.
[1:09 PM] Ryu: MMO never dies
[1:09 PM] Ryu: FFXIV is still very active
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: She's playing Black Desert Online right now; would be nice if she changed it to Final Fantasy.
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Would be better if she was participating with us.
[1:09 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Patch 4.3"
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: AHH
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: GOATS
Rawk would later claim that these are cows because they are mammals that moo, but Ludwig maintains they are Final Fantasy XIV's Aldgoats, continuing E3 2018's goat theme. If these aren't Aldgoats, since Ludwig doesn't know Final Fantasy XIV biology or biology in general, let him know. |
[1:10 PM] Ryu: MH
[1:10 PM] Ryu: cool
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wait wtf
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This is supposed to be Square Enix.
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Fusion?
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wot's Monster Hunter doing here?
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Mario + Rabbids
[1:10 PM] Ryu: Oh, they're putting Rathalos in FF14
[1:10 PM] RawkHawk2010: Final Fantasy + Monster Hunter
[1:10 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: lol that Mac symbol
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: We've seen a lot of things from Capcom at this E3 and still no Phoenix Wright.
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: NOT GOOD
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: See? Dontnod Entertainment.
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Not "Don't Do Entertainment"
[1:11 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Here are the Life is Strangers.
[1:11 PM] RawkHawk2010: One's named Koch
[1:12 PM] Ryu: Oh, it's a French company?
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Was hoping they both were so they could be Koch Brothers
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Ubisoft doesn't have a monopoly on French devs.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (Ubisoft coming later today.)
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Zank you
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: That sounded German.
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well kinda.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's not a Life is Strange sequel, but a game in its universe.
[1:12 PM] RawkHawk2010: Not really.
[1:12 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: HADOUKEN
[1:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit "100% free"
[1:13 PM] Ryu: Dragon Quest
[1:13 PM] RawkHawk2010: Lol that sucked.
[1:13 PM] Ryu: 11
[1:13 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I like how "free" isn't enough, now it's "100% free"
[1:13 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dragon Quest
[1:14 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Oooh nice sword.
[1:14 PM] Ryu: I was hoping they would change DQ theme a bit
[1:14 PM] RawkHawk2010: I think they're playing the wrong song.
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dragon Balls
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Affinity Orbs
[1:15 PM] RawkHawk2010: Stones*
[1:15 PM] Ryu: I bet they showed the ending there
[1:15 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No slimes??
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: I don't think I like DQ music btw.
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:16 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SLIME
Hello King Slime! Guess you're going to be in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, huh? (That's a mobile game. Don't worry about it.) |
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Slime.
[1:16 PM] Ryu: Am I supposed to get the collector edition?
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: ......
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Okay well that was that.
[1:16 PM] Ryu: whoa, slime went so fast. I missed it when typing here
[1:16 PM] Ryu: I should dual screen
[1:16 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sorry Ludwig.
[1:16 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I screenshotted slime
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: but I'm not sure what the announcement was.
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Final Fantasy Brave Exvius"
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Final Fantasy x Dragon Quest something
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Sept. 2018 2nd Collaboration"
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Is this Bravely Third?
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Wait no
[1:17 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It promo'd with a Slime and a Moogle.
[1:17 PM] RawkHawk2010: Probably Octopath Traveler
[1:17 PM] Ryu: Looks like it
[1:17 PM] Ryu: wait, it's too 3D
[1:17 PM] Ryu: it's that FF fighting game
[1:18 PM] Ryu: maybe
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Dissids?
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Babylon's Fall"
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Babylon's Fall
[1:18 PM] Ryu: oh well
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Developed by PlatinumGames.
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wait wot
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: PlatinumGames.
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Platinum games. so it must be good
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Huh.
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Sarcasm?
[1:18 PM] Ryu: Never
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Star Fox Zero tho.
[1:18 PM] Ryu: That was mostly Nintendo's
[1:18 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a Final Fantasy mobile game.
[1:18 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe only awful when Miyamoto's involved.
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: So they're putting some slimes/Dragon Quest content into it.
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: In celebration of Dragon Quest XI.
[1:19 PM] RawkHawk2010: @Ryu Scalebound was so bad it got canceled btw.
[1:19 PM] Ryu: No Switch
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Here's some Switch.
[1:19 PM] RawkHawk2010: Octopath
[1:19 PM] Ryu: Never could tell if it was bad, since it got cancelled
[1:19 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: SWITCH SNAP
[1:19 PM] Ryu: there's Octopath
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Unlike DQ, music sounds good.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is the only way they're gonna tell us if there's a Switch game is if they choreograph it with the snap?
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yes
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Octopath Traveler available in one month.
[1:20 PM] RawkHawk2010: Better to know at the start than the end.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I never played the demo/beta despite having downloaded it.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I thought Just Cause 4 came out years ago.
[1:20 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is that the game with the evil Anderson Cooper?
[1:20 PM] Ryu: DQ's music is great. DQ's theme is just overused
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: Never heard a good DQ track, you'll have to link me later.
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Black Hand?
[1:21 PM] RawkHawk2010: Didn't that start World War I?
[1:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They're from Jackie Chan Adventures.
[1:21 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And that, too.
[1:22 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Anyway, Just Cause 4 features bikes, cars, exotic vehicles, cranes, and more.
[1:22 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You should like that.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: And crashing.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yay.
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: wtf
[1:22 PM] RawkHawk2010: You can attach balloons to vehicles.
Just Cause 4 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild have things in common. |
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: From Breath of the Wild?
[1:23 PM] RawkHawk2010: Yes
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Dancing Africans.
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Or maybe Central Americans.
[1:23 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I didn't pay attention to the setting.
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: New game, showing dude in a hoodie in a city.
[1:24 PM] RawkHawk2010: Kylo Ren?\
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Got some Spanish goon.
[1:24 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Probably MS-13.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "The Quiet Man"
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: He beat up the MS-13-ers.
PS4 and Steam.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: hmmmmmmm
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: That reminded me of Hatred
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Anyway here's the main event.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: KINGDOM HEARTS III.
[1:25 PM] RawkHawk2010: Where it's just beating people's asses for no reason.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's a different trailer than yesterday's.
[1:25 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ....nevermind it's the same.
The main event is a repeat of yesterday's trailer? Sora isn't taking this well. |
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: lol
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm still not screenshotting Elsa.
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Exciting stuff.
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: You said you forgot about the trailer during Microsoft's presentation, so here it is again!
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Do we like anything about Disney?
[1:26 PM] RawkHawk2010: Wait
[1:26 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm not gonna say "no."
[1:27 PM] RawkHawk2010: Did we see Ratalllouie last time?
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I don't remember seeing him; felt like the first time just now.
[1:27 PM] RawkHawk2010: This is new yeah
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: No it's not.
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Hercules scene in both.
[1:27 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And Toy Story.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And you cursed Toy Story for some reason.
[1:28 PM] RawkHawk2010: There's no way all this is old.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And Mickey in the dark void.
[1:28 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It is! It's the same trailer.
[1:28 PM] RawkHawk2010: Also I liked WALL-E
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But now whatever they're showing is new.
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: And liked the turtles from Finding Nemo.
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: That's it.
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wait wtf this is a montage.
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Is it over already?
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: Probably
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: "Thanks for joining the Square Enix E3 Showcase 2018"
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Wait what?
[1:29 PM] RawkHawk2010: Square isn't exactly huge
[1:29 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wtf this was the whole thing
[1:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: WHAAT
[1:30 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: THEY COULD'VE JUST DONE A DIRECT
[1:30 PM] RawkHawk2010: Well they basically did didn't they?
[1:30 PM] RawkHawk2010: They didn't have a stage.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: 2015 they did an hour and fifteen minutes.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: And they had a stage.
[1:31 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh
[1:31 PM] RawkHawk2010: Stage musta cost too much.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: With people IN COSTUMES.
[1:31 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHDuw8WSekI6GGdpXf1tUy7Ypszcj5Ex_NgGqiFpPMCNS9II6TQ0DUX3jshJ2vNJBh5Iei0v0k4q-0ncYOMXVtZPyVuJrpimOX00HokIkZIY0h0iCjDATCCTfwz8hQcOy3G0s4A8DEnrR-/s640/Square-Enix-E3-2015.png
[1:31 PM] Ryu: It was nothing. lol
[1:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: wtf I don't want to rate this low
[1:32 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They didn't have anything exclusive to this show besides that bad Tomb Raider footage.
[1:33 PM] RawkHawk2010: Nothing about this was good.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They had three years to think of a new conference and they got this?
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I want to say it was better than EA's but I'm actually not sure, it's kinda arguable.
[1:33 PM] RawkHawk2010: I liked the ten seconds of Octopath Traveler music.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: At least they didn't go on for an hour with this amount of content.
[1:33 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: They respected our time!
[1:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...sorta.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: And Final Fantasy XIV footage looked kinda exciting but it's a years-old game.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: and yeah
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: They didn't make us sit there and bitch.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: ala Command and Conquer Mobile.
[1:34 PM] RawkHawk2010: EA damaged our mental health.
[1:34 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: This was barely longer than Devolver Digital.
[1:34 PM] Ryu: They just showed some same trailer for DQXI, nothing new lol
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Was the slime part at the end new?
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: Unlike EA, this was "innocently shit"
[1:35 PM] Ryu: I didn't see it, but I think so
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Well, I'm fine rating Square based on slime.
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: If this gets a F it's at least F+
[1:35 PM] RawkHawk2010: It's not F-
[1:35 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: If the only new content is bad Tomb Raider footage and a Slime promo.
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah, I guess.
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm not even mad, despite what it sounds like.
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: Just taken aback?
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: I'm actually grinning in silent laughter.
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Quiet Man
[1:36 PM] RawkHawk2010: The Quiet Koopa*
[1:36 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: The Quiet Man was sort of this whole conference.
[1:37 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh yeah
[1:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Was that new?
[1:37 PM] RawkHawk2010: yes
[1:37 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Alright; I'm not really sure what that was.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But I'm fine with beating up MS-13 gang members.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: It's more current than, say, Nazis.
[1:38 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: (Note: My only basis for identifying them as MS-13 is that they're a Hispanic gang.)
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: Thought on Dragon Quest?
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: No one could have told me that wasn't already out.
[1:39 PM] RawkHawk2010: Oh, negative.
[1:40 PM] RawkHawk2010: More Capcom involvement with that Monster Hunter crossover stuff reduces chances of Ace Attorney yet further.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: Capcom may not be remotely involved in making that but they have to supervise it.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: That's less talent to supervise Ace Attorney.
[1:41 PM] RawkHawk2010: Not good.
[1:42 PM] Ryu: That was indeed a DQ trailer
[1:42 PM] Ryu: They don't change the formula, nor the theme(edited)
[1:44 PM] Ryu: Might have been one of the first time we hear the English voices though
[1:44 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: That CAPCOM logic is probably dangerous.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Kingdom Hearts just ain't deliverin' man.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Imagine the people who have this as their most hyped game.
[1:44 PM] RawkHawk2010: Surely they're not satisfied with this.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: And Sony acts like it's not gonna play a huge role tonight.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: Maybe none.
[1:45 PM] RawkHawk2010: Or may just be the same trailer for the third time.
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: Our post-event commentary has taken over half the time of the actual event now.
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: But yeah...
[1:46 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Maybe Sony has exclusive Kingdom Hearts stuff... or...
[1:47 PM] Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Or there is more to come after E3.
[1:47 PM] RawkHawk2010: Or
...Or... or what? Well, KoopaTV returns in a couple of hours for the next conference. We're far from done today, so keep staying tuned! ...Also, if you know about the animals of Final Fantasy XIV, please contribute your knowledge in the comments. And, yes, KoopaTV now knows after-the-fact the two E3 2018 trailers of Kingdom Hearts III are different.
The last time Square Enix had a presentation, it was in 2015 and it was the best presentation of E3 2015.
The previous presentation for E3 2018 had no overlap with this one, at least.
Square Enix absolutely rocked their E3 2019 presentation.
FF14 MMO is still active? I might try it if I ever leave EVE Online for good.
ReplyDeleteYup!
DeleteI keep seeing people say they might want to try it (it's been around for...years!) but where are the people who know about it?
Hmm, that might be rather telling about the actual quality of the game.
DeleteOr maybe they're too busy playing the game to come to KoopaTV's comments section.
DeleteSeems grindy, as they usually seem.
As much as I love Square Enix, enjoyed the Babylon's Fall news, and liked seeing the new KH scenes (Xigbar!), this was a disappointing press conference.
ReplyDeleteI still want to get back into FFXIV eventually.
This conference actually looks worse in retrospect after Sony's conference. Not because Sony was great, but because Square gave Sony a brand-new trailer, while *basically* sharing a trailer between themselves and Microsoft.
DeleteYeah, I don't understand why they didn't use that second trailer in their own conference.
DeleteIf they were beholden to Sony, then it wouldn't be a thing existing for Microsoft.
DeleteBut they're doing trailer favouritism for Sony anyway.
Square Enix's conference just shouldn't have existed.
