    FF VII Remake can not come to any other console due to the funding and deal with Sony. Every other FF including FF XVI will come eventually

    What a disaster but I wasn't expecting much out of the Xbox brand in Japan after the Tango shutdown. Even the "one last thing" was ports of games all other systems had years ago. And where are FF7R and FF16?
    How was it a disaster?
    Misaligned expectations given the question at the end. Personally I’d say it was an alright show. Some really interesting offerings but there was a decent amount of games were I immediately zoned out when I noticed they were another [insert incredibly over saturated genre here] and a couple other spots that felt like a waste of time. Fwiw I largely just listened to it while doing some writing on my thoughts with "Lumines".
    I get that. I was hoping for FF16 too. I've play FF7R on PS5 before I realized that's all I ever played and sold it the console. I'd say take another look when you have a moment. Threads of Time looks like a fun playthrough playing with time travel possibly. And FragPunk looked pretty unique with random skills aquired in a multiplayer first person shooter.

    I wouldn't say it was a disaster. It was probably just not your thing if you typically don't like RPGs. Show's target was Japan so those were most of the studios shown. Keep expectations low and may be surprised by things you aren't looking out for.

    Feels like we’ve been flooded in them lately tbh.
    Game + Heaven + Hell + Non-AAA-style FPS = 100+ hours gladly leeched from my life apparently.

    I grew up in the 80's/90's and my first love was JRPG's. They aren't for everyone, but today's announcements were great for fans of that genre. F7R is hit/miss with me (hope it comes to Xbox, but if it doesn't it doesn't), but here's to hoping that FF16 and since Square has released the Pixel Remasters here's to hoping they could do the same treatment to release FF Tactics as well at some point.

    The entire show had the same energy as Xbox since they began releasing their games on Playstation. They are doing the motions but not actually care about the brand anymore. A bunch of low spec games, niche games, late ports. Every other platform will have these plus more. No impressive reveal people would talk about. The Game Pass drop was abysmal after they barely put anything in it lately. The wishful thinking about FF7 and FF16 didn't help either of course.

    Eh, that's fine. I'm super excited about a bunch of stuff they shared today and outlook is going up for me.

    If they were going for mediocrity, they passed with flying colors.

    As a fan of turn based JRPGs this was fantastic. Couple other non-turn based games I was interested in too.

    Still no word on FF 7 remake? Not that I am interested in it but at this point Xbox doesn’t need it anymore
    I’m expecting the FF VII remake to come to Xbox as a completed trilogy. Moreover, I think that’s the best way to play it.

    I know it was a stretch but was hoping for Hollow Knight Silksong news. Team Cherry was at the last japan expo and was hoping they would be sighted alive, or dropping a trailer.
