Square Enix had a limited appearance at E3 2005. While their biggest news came from the choice to bring FINAL FANTASY XI to the Microsoft XBOX 360 console and their pledge of bringing the FINAL FANTASY series to the Sony PLAYSTATION 3, there was very little coverage of their upcoming major titles. Both KINGDOM HEARTS 2 and FINAL FANTASY XII were shown only in video format; their only major upcoming title found to be playable was the critically acclaimed DRAGON QUEST VIII - Journey of the Cursed King.
However, shortly after E3 Square Enix announced that it would make up for it with its upcoming SQUARE ENIX PARTY 2005 event. The event, while not as massive as the 1999 SQUARE MILLENIUM Conference which debuted FINAL FANTASY IX, FINAL FANTASY X and FINAL FANTASY XI in the same day, will have some eagerly-awaited appearances. First and foremost, SQUARE ENIX is bringing over 200 playing booths for their upcoming title FINAL FANTASY XII, and will have nearly as many for KINGDOM HEARTS 2. Also on the list will be Grandia III, Heavy Metal Thunder, Code Age Commanders, Fullmetal Alchemist 3, Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 2 and Dirge of Cerberus - FINAL FANTASY VII. FINAL FANTASY VII: Advent Children will be displayed as well, possibly in its entirety. Other titles include Before Crisis: FINAL FANTASY VII, FINAL FANTASY XI (possibly in Xbox 360 format), and the debut of SQUARE ENIX's mysterious new title, World of Mana.
Unfortunately, no word has surfaced about other eagerly awaited SQUARE ENIX titles being shown at the event, such as DRAG-ON DRAGOON 2: Love Red, Ambivalence Black for PLAYSTATION 2, FANTASY EARTH: The Ring of Dominion for Windows or even Crisis Core: FINAL FANTASY VII for PSP.
I'm going to be following this event religiously when it is held on July 30th and 31st, so be sure to check back for updates. It is very possible we'll hear some cool news on FINAL FANTASY XI for XBOX 360 and the third expansion pack.
