I can feel my inner weeaboo flowing through me during this E3. In contrast to Willreaper’s wishlist, mine draws heavily from the Sony conference since I am most looking forward to Square Enix’s games.
As far as the games I currently know will be at E3 or are likely to be at E3, my list goes something like this:
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
I haven’t gotten around to playing Human Revolution (even though I own it), but my friends and other people constantly cite it as a great game so I will be keeping my eye on this one.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
I started playing Final Fantasy games in middle/high school (around 7 years ago) and Final Fantasy VII was my introduction to the series (since it was the most popular). Now, having played most of the other games, even though I feel that Final Fantasy VI and IX are the best (I would also love a remake of those), VII still has a special place in my heart which made me super happy when they announced it last year. I think I was eating dinner with my family while I was watching the conference and nearly spewed food out of my nose.
Final Fantasy XV
While I haven’t been waiting for this game as long as other fans of the series (many of whom are rather butthurt about the game not using the classic ATB/Turn Based mechanics), I have still been waiting a long goddamn time for this freaking game to come out. I’m a little dubious as to how good the game will actually be, but considering they had 10 years to make this game, it better be pretty good.
Kingdom Hearts III
Second verse, same as the first. This game has been a long time coming. Sadly, it seems as if Square Enix intends to milk it as long as it can, and we will probably see Kingdom Hearts 2.99 before we get KH3.
Nier: Automata
Similar to Mankind Divided, I haven’t actually played the first Nier game or any of the Drakengard series, but based on the descriptions of my friends and knowing that this game is being developed by Platinum is good enough to pique my interest.
Detroit: Become Human
I remember seeing the trailer for this game last year(?), and was interested. Of the other games developed by Quantic Dream, I’ve only played Heavy Rain, which was a bit too much of a walking simulator for my taste, so while I am interested in this game, I am still hoping that there will be other gameplay elements in this game.
Fate/Extella
Cuz anime. I’m a pretty big fan of Type-Moon, and played Fate/Extra on the PSP (I was very sad that CCC was not localized). While I would personally like an updated version of Melty Blood released to the US, I’ll take what I can get.
Mass Effect: Andromeda (Done)
This one has already been granted, and while there wasn’t a ton of specifics in the video from yesterday, the game looked crisp and fluid. So…..Hype.
To summarize: don’t f*** me Squeenix.
