Earlier today Square Enix teased that it is revealing a new PS4 project on the Tokaigi 2015 event that will take place on January 31rd. Tokaigi is a recurring event from Japanese website Niconico.
Apart from some minor teases the game 'secret' project is a mystery.
Ahead of the Tokaigi event Square Enix has been teasing some more on Twitter. The new tweets are as mysterious as the title's logo though.
After the great news about Spotify landing for PS4 and PS3 this Spring, we can see that it is turning out to be an even better week for PS4 users.
color me interested if it's an RPG, and those screens suggest so.
if its a mana game Im mind blown, I have waited for that serie one of the best in gaming for so long!
I say it's the FFXIII remastered trilogy...
Or an official FFX/X-2 PS4 announcement...
Definitely nothing to get excited about. Everything huge would be at E3, Gamescom or Tokyo Gameshow...
FFX/X-2 is official for PS4 already. Square confirmed, and you can even pre-order it.
They wouldn't be bigging it up if they didn't think it was worth getting excited about, we shall see...
if i were you guys i wouldn't be excited for anything SE related especially after that master troll they pulled at the PSX
what master troll? FF7HD? did you seriously expect FF7 remake? then tell me, when did they even say they were working on a FF7 remake? it's pure people fantasy (no joke intended).
there is no trolling there, it's people trolling themselves with something that has never been confirmed in first placed (and will probably never be).
When did they say they were working on a FF7 remake? Do you honestly think they would come out and say they're working on a FF7 remake? No they trolled us twice back at E3 2006 and at PSX they gave us a PC port that nobody ask for
Zecret of mana!
Its obviously something fantasy based. I get that impression from what we can see, so its a jrpg. It could be a new IP, infinite undiscovery and the last remnant were two i actually enjoyed last gen. Returning franchises, I'd like chrono, star ocean, secret of mana or romancing saga to return.
I would be very careful getting excited over this. SE has been trolling the Sony fanbase for the past few years. I remember the FFVII PC version port announcement a while back - pffft that was a big punch in the nuts if you ask me. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be another dud.
I am usually a very optimistic person; for SE, however, I am making an exception.
Some shity browser or smartphone game because that's who SE is, in any case don't expect anything worth mention they can't excite the fans anymore that's why they change tactics the past years & troll them on every chance, they think that's cool...
Niconico Tokaigi 2015 is this weekend at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. A number of publishers will be on-hand showing off their latest games. And while it’s no Tokyo Game Show or E3-scale event, it might be worth keeping an eye on. Square Enix is debuting its new School of Ragnarok arcade game, as well as a PlayStation 4 game code-named Project Code Z. And Sony has a number of stages focused on classic PlayStation games.
Square Enix just opened a teaser website teasing a new PS4 exclusive game, that will be revealed at the Tokaigi Japan Game Party 2015 on January 31st.
it can be one of these...
Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest
Kingdom Hearts
Tomb Raider
Hitman
Deus Ex
Legacy of Kain
Thief
I hope for new open world Hitman game, I doubt it will be exclusive, maybe its something new! ;)
if SquareEnix promotes smthing as exclusive on PS4 it will probably be a small significance title ...we see what they did with FF 13 versus and Kingdom hearts 3 ..they were exclusives also
interesting! After Dragon's Dogma Online, a SquareEnix game!
Looks like it's gonna be an RPG.
i'd melt if it's a new Secret of Mana. Or GRANDIA? anyways....not coming out before 2097.
There are several excited responses posted thus far. I am all in favor of anticipation and enthusiasm, but I fear it best to temper promise with caution. It would do to pause and recall the most recent announcements for the game community, particularly Sony owners, and how those remarks were either disappointing, a direct afront, or outright trolling. Each public reveal by them has grown worse.
The last announcement, the now infamous FFVII troll leaves SE further than ever to climb in order to rise above rock bottom.
EDIT: I truly love gaming and am so excited concerning the promise of this year. I spent hours in Grim Fandango last night and will jump into Dying Light later today. February 17th and the 20th cannot arrive fast enough. But SE must earn their way back into favor.
@absdiine
I will give up Popeyes chicken for a year if they do a new secret of Mana or a Chrono trigger. I will also take a remaster of Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger too.
@SolidStoner
I doubt it's a Tomb Raider seeing how Square Enix already announced a Tomb Raider for the Xbox One.
I'd be a fool to trust Square again especially after the false promise called FF13 Versus and FF7's troll announcement. Not only that but they seem far to attached to MS in recent years to even produce anything worthwhile for Sony.
Its a steep hill ahead for Square in gaining their former status.
Sequel to Chrono Trigger/Cross and I will weep!
Anyway, hopefully it will be something major and with RPG elements or reboot of some beloved franchise from PS1/PS2 era.
A teaser teasing a reveal. What. The. F***. I'm not getting my hopes up. I'd hate to be disappointed on a Saturday!
Don't hold your breath Square is a hack these days and considering Vagrant Story is in my to 5 favorite games it hurts to say, probably an MMO or some F2P BS.
Those good old square days sadly are over. The talents that made Vagrant Story and Chrono Trigger such classic titles are no longer among Square's ranks.
man all you guys do is remind me that I BETTER get busy finishing my new PS3 jrpg's before the PS4 flood gates open!
Thanks a lot fuys :)
Yeah PS4 owners are in for a great year, the 2 big exclusives that aren't known are both going to be incredible without a doubt.
Sure prefer that than playing as a FizzCo employee (Read: Your average American)
@IGiveHugs2NakedWomen You are the man! Heck are you kidding me. I'd nominate you for president for comments like that!
While I don't mind turn-base I prefer active-turn-based (switch-able as in FF12) or just action as in Nier which was a JRPG by Square/Enix and IMHO a very good JRPG.
Personally I prefer enemy encounters to remain in the area scenery and not switch into a battle zone as is the case for pretty much all Final Fantasy games (exception FF12).
while I do agree with no lame RPG's although I do think you could be more specific since I have played some pretty bad (IMHO) RPG's and also JRPG's. I have also played some pretty good ones as well.
The problem you have with RPG's in general are the number of sub sections associated with them and the tastes of the RPG players. What may be an excellent JRPG/RPG game to some my be a pile of dung to others and everything in-between.
Japanese style RPGs usually have a story that draws the player in with leveling up and the potential for high level loot drops, even if your character isn't strong enough to use anything found in those drops. Action RPGs have been "westernized" in order to cater to casual gamers who don't have the patience for leveling, exploration, and grinds that are often involved in getting better stats and gear in order to progress in a story. Action RPGs are limited in scope and usually end up becoming boring fetch quests. JRPGs follow a simple and effective formula: Rewards for players that progress through the game. IT's the reason why MOST rpg fans want games like Legend Of Zelda and Dragon Quest and not something like Lords Of The Fallen or Bound By Flame. Both of those games are dry, repetitive, and there is absolutley no system of rewards for gameplay. They SUCK!
Want to know why people still play Destiny?
Grinding for those loot drops!
Rewards for gameplay. And we all know by now that Destiny isn't a spectacular game, but it's that simple formula that keeps people playing.
It will just be delayed for 10+ years, be canceled, and then put on the PS5 & whatever they call the next Xbox.
Wouldn't it be cool if sony lets SE make The Legend of the Dragoon 2. SE has made some really bad rpgs since doing FF 13..... well really since 12 imo. As long as we get it i don't care who makes it. Go back to full classic turn based where people had to use there brain. Like 6,7,8,9 hell even 10.
Tis to there own i guess. I think they need to take a step back. There new one 15. There something about driveing around in a car that has me dieing alittle inside. I'd love to see them go back to dragoons,paldins, white and black mages. Just for one more game, then you can have all the future looking FF games you want. I love games like ME but when i think of great FF games, i think of all the great jobs they had and when the game was about epic story telling not grafics. Feels like a race to be the next Elder scrols game. Its sad realy.
FFXII is when I started to realized that the FF series was in decline. Haven't played a great FF since X.
Normally the Final Fantasy games were all new IP the exceptions being FFX and FFXIII (personally I liked FFXIII-2 better - never played the third one).
Not sure why you disliked FFXII since that game allowed you switch between turn-base and active-turn-base at any time (some FF games did have this as well). What I really liked about FFXII was the that you could see the enemy and you fought when you encountered them without switching into a battle area.
Normally in FFXII random encounters which were rare happened when you entered a boss battle and in most cases it was really advisable to switch to turn-based combat.
I never played Legend of the Dragoon although from what I can gather it was a very good JRPG.
Just opened this site and already seen two new ps4 exclusives announced. Brilliant start to the year. Sony is on a roll.
Please people.
Don't do this to yourselves. Stop hyping this up. Nothing, and i mean NOTHING good can come out of hyping up a teaser website by the likes of Square Enix.
From the company that brought you nothing but F2P mobile games, FF7-PC-port-to-PS4 trolls and removing key content in arguably their biggest JRPG console game yet because of Tabatas inept a**.
Do you honestly believe they'll announce something worthwhile in a low profile event such as Tokaigi ?
Exactly. I could see square enix trolling us and announcing the FF XIII lightning trilogy for ps4 lol
"Please be excited"
Yes, they do. And it's precisely because of them that SE puts together s*** pr stunts like this.
Dying Light zombies are smarter.
Just like the so called PS3 Exclusive.s FF 13 and vs13? I'll believe it when I see it.
'New PS4 Exclusive Teased by Square Enix, Reveal Coming on the 31st'
Roll the Drums! ;)
I'm hoping it has something to do with that tech demo they showed a while back https://www.youtube.com/wat... I would love to see something come from it to be honest.
Also I find it odd that on the actual site they have a now hiring maybe it's nothing or maybe it's something seems interesting enough. http://www.agnisphilosophy....
Oh look who comes crawling back, I don't really like any of your games Square especially FF so you can either literally give us Soul Reaver reboot or no more money from us Tomb Raider being cut off Playstation when WE built that game up to what it became then you go and Troll us at the PSEvent with that FF7 rehash.....Pfttt you better kiss our feet with this you better.
Z = Zodiac, but the picture behind the letter hints more at a Mana game. Maybe Mana Z something, dunno.
a mobile game made ported exclusively for the Vita... OR
Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III exclusively on PS4... Japan only :D
So capcom has 3 Sony exclusives coming-deep down, street fight v, dragons dogma online.....level 5 has a new Sony exclusive coming....atlus has persona 5 coming to Sony.....and now square enix as well.
Damn Sony is really eating the Japanese developers up.
Honestly I hope its a dissidia (or however you say it) final fantasy ps4 fighting game.
sony needs the japanese market to be onboard.
actually we need the japanese market to pick up again, otherwise more and more japanese devs will move on to mobile.
Yeah I like that they are seemingly pulling the market back on its feet. Hopefully more devs see there is good money to be made on the ps4 and they drop the mobile crap.
It's possible to be a reboot of Ehrgeiz especially giving its different game modes with jrpg characters and Japanese characters in general.
Final Fantasy 17! That's right it's so awesome it skips right over 16 and doesn't even wait for 15 to be out!
Don't get your hopes up...They made a massive deal about a huge sqaure enix annoucement at playstation experience and it was just a fucking ff7 port
Star ocean or...... chrono trigger!!! Please?
Its a jrpg, i reckon they will make a game to spark interest in japan and china! A new IP possibly? I can't wait!
yeah exclusive for 10 years and then goes multiplat to the xbox brand under a new name. SE is ridiculous.
That image on the website immediately reminded me of the original secret of mana cover for super Nintendo. I doubt we would be so lucky though.
"We're incredibly excited to announce the reveal of...
WAIT FOR IT....
YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT BABY
PLEASE
BE
EXCITED.
....FINAL FANTASY III! For an incredible price of $19.99, please enjoy this "timeless classic", exclusively on the PlayStation store celebrating just only it's 25th anniversary. We love you so much guys!"
That would be the day most of us would jump off a cliff....
ps4 has no games!!!
eat that ms fanboys
more exclusives
cnt wait for this bomb
Interesting all of those images look like HD reskin's of existing areas from previous games. Well 3 of them do I can't place one of them.
The one with a forest background looks like that forest you crash in in Final Fantasy VIII The image with the lake and the crystals in the far lower right corner look like the lake you fight that blob that changes forms in in Final Fantasy X
The one with the stone staircase looks very familiar to me but I don't remember which game I saw it in. I think it might of been a Vagrant Story static background? No idea what the other one may be and I could be wrong about every single one of these.
Personally I just want a brand new entry in the Dragon Quest series we keep getting screwed on those in the US. I would say this is unlikely normally since Nintendo seems to have a Stranglehold on the Dragon Quest IP right now. HOWEVER we have Dragon Quest Heroes coming out on PS4 (I really hope it comes to the US) so it is possible?
I don't think those images are alluding to any one specific game so much as giving brief glimpses at previous titles in some of their iconic series I WOULD say but Vagrant story is unappreciated by most.
So where my theories and speculations are usually based on research and previous patterns in what a company does. In this particular instance I have no freaking idea and am just taking a shot in the dark.
If it really is a brand new series that is fine as long as it isn't freaking pay to play microtransactions so far Squareenix have strayed away from that trend for the most part and I really hope they keep it that way.
"It was cold outside and so was my mind"
Parasite Eve is set in New York and the third birthday ends in a cold setting. Here is Hoping for Parasite Eve 3. OH GOD, please SE do it. That would be awesome. Bring Aya Brea Back!
more PS4 exclusives? niceeeee
Maybe you should wait to see what it is first before getting hyped for a bundle xD
I know this is off-topic, but isn't something teased on a site from Quantic Dream supposed to be revealed today? www.achillingfeeling.com Anyway, I am super excited to see what SE has in store for PS4 from this tease.
