Square Enix’s Entire Conference
We were all set for some big reveals during the Square Enix E3 2018 Showcase, namely in the form of a new look at the Final Fantasy VII remake, but unfortunately were left feeling extremely cold by the end of this meager presentation. All of us went in expecting the world, but ended up with a cavalcade of trailers for games Square Enix had already shown off ahead of its presentation, like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 4, and Kingdom Hearts III. What’s more, the same Kingdom Hearts III trailer we’d just seen before was part of the show, albeit with a few additions here and there.
While there were a few new announcements like the strange The Quiet Man and new Platinum title Babylon’s Fall, it largely felt like a whisper in the cacophony of announcements during E3. We were hoping for some huge names to appear, namely the Avengers project around the corner, but instead there really wasn’t much new shared at all. It’s unfortunate, but at least we can count on Final Fantasy VII news coming down the pipeline someday, at least. Square Enix has always been about the explosive, show-stopping announcements in the past, and it just didn’t have the oomph of past engagements this time around.
