Only fifteen days left before the biggest mainstream gaming event on Earth, with all the big developers and publishers in attendance. Everyone's got their favorites that they want to be there, and everyone's got their dreams of what should be there. After last year's E3 did the seemingly impossible and revealed FF VII Remake and Nier:Automata, here's hoping everyone brings out their big guns. Here's my hoped-for appearances (confirmed appearances excluded, this is purely a wishlist).
From Square Enix: Resurgences of Nier:Automata, Kingdom Hearts III, World of Final Fantasy. And possibly having Mobius FF and Type-0 Online (and DQH2 for forms' sake) confirmed for Western release. Now for something totally out there: Type-1 confirmed as a separate universe from the Type-0 set up, worked on by a different team with Tabata in a supervisory role while he's finishing XV.
From Bandai Namco: appearances for Tales of Berseria, and possibly something totally out of the blue such as confirmation of Tales of Tempest R or Tales of Innocence localization by a descent company (hated the hackjob that's Hearts R's localization).
From EA: something other that sports games, and a descent look at Mass Effect Andromeda (and see whether they'll use a frontman or a frontwoman this time). Maybe even a new Dragon Age game, or a Star Wars RPG that's not a bog-standard Light-v-Dark scenario but something more nuanced (maybe from someone who actually understands what the ending of VI was getting at).
From Blizzard: a more subdued new project without scenes that look and sound like they've been ripped from Lord of the Rings and blended with Wagnerian operatics. Maybe a new IP. Possibly a new Diablo.
Well, there's my high hopes and low opinions. All speakers welcome!
