What big announcements?

[vsr]

FFXIII - 2 before FFV13 is a total BS and Bad decision !

[kennykramer]

Here's hoping for some bigger news at TGS.

I agree, I feel that's where we will get some proper vs xiii coverage.

Complete letdown... just like the rest of the E3 show from everyone else.

Everyone's acting like SE didn't announce anything. Last time I checked Tomb Raider, kane & Lynch, Final Fantasy and the rest of the Square Enix franchises move a lot of units.

edit* Really amazing that everyone on here loved SE when they thought FF was a Sony franchise. Now that SE fully supports other platforms (AGAIN), suddenly they suck? Gimme a break.

They do, however you are NOT allowed to believe such things as this is N4G and SE managed to show off a really great looking Tomb Raider and correct a lot of the issue with FFXIII ready for its sequel.

Here at N4G thats going to cost you, your not allowed to try and listen to the complaints we all posted back in march and correct them without being slandered yet again. Even this will likely cost me a bubble now lol

While I am too cautious of past Squenix failures to be overly optimistic about FFXIII-2, I will keep an eye on it. I agree that Tomb Raider looked pretty good.

That being said, I see nothing wrong with speaking bad about Squenix, as they have deserved it for years now. No FFvsXIII was very annoying, which they know is the title most people are interested in, but I guess (would hope) they are saving it for TGS. The problem is that some people are still strong-willed Squenix apologists when the company definitely doesn't deserve it, and never has since the merging of Squaresoft and Enix.

I agree, SE have completely earned a lot hatred over the years, mainly the jumps from 6-7 and 9-10 I find was when they distanced most people, I just find a lot of people on N4G tend to give very pointless reasons for their dislike, Often not even researching game releases to draw experience from.

Same though I am not expecting the FF game I really want with XIII-2, but I feel its at least worth following with these updates. Plus those moogles seem to be pulled out of the much older FF games, Little touches like this are what have me watching it personally

Going to pass on Final Fantasy for Tomb Raider.

Square you're on a roll this year...at disappointing me. No new Versus news or footage, no FF14 console news., no Kingdom Hearts news...it's like they're overworking Eidos now.

I don't know if Square is trying to be an Activision or EA, but so far it's not working. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd take Tomb Raider over a Final Fantasy game, but that day has come.

XIII-2 is looking amazing.
Haters gonna hate
