Rumor: Square Enix has the PS5 Pro devkit, Final Fantasy 9 Remake is coming, Persona 6 isn't near.

Morning,

Had to create this account because apparently people are posing as me on a Discord. I'll verify with a Reset member seconds after this post. I'm no longer going to leak on Reset, too risky so I'll keep it here as it's more anonymous and it's a shared account with other insiders.

Moving on, for clarity, I have no Sony info so whatever is out there connected to me in regards to Sony plans, not me. Sorry.

Sega:

- Another Sonic is coming next year, along with Jet Set, Comix Zone and a new Guardian Heroes (not sure on the date for that one)

-Persona 6 is a bit further away than last time I updated. I don't think it's making 2024 (original plan was reveal last winter)

-Main theme of P6 is "black and white", it's still too early to talk about, I'm waiting on other leakers before the floodgates open

-There is another Persona game yet to be revealed, it's a party game

-Switch 2 devkits have been here a while, I can verify it is backwards compatible with a few games tested. New cartridge. New camera feature.

Square:

-FF9 remake WAS summer 2024, not sure about that anymore, game needs some polishing, that's about it

-FF7R2 ends with a new protag set up for part 3. Take your guesses what happens.

-X remake/X3 has a skeleton crew, it is NOT making it's anniversary

-Square has new PS5 devkits, we're assuming these are the "Pro"

-FF7R looks and runs like a PS5 game on Switch 2 devkit. Port took no time I'm told. Could be a launch game, not sure yet.

Original FFVII has a part after end of disc 2 that indeed Cloud is not the protagonist.
So nothing new here.

I’m not even sure by this is something to be “leaked” everybody that played the original knows what happens at end of disc 2.

Square really feel like they should be first party. To me anyway.

New comix zone and guardian heroes would be fire. IX remake though... I'd rather focus on one for VI. Moguri mod has you covered if you want to improve IX visuals.

I NEED that Final Fantasy 9 Remake so badly. I hope they strike a nice balance with the combat. This game and it's universe has so much potential for spin offs.

At this point though SE isn't in my top 3 purchases, they should just get it over with and be done.

I guess Jim is waiting to see how GOTY of 2024 FoamStars perform first

Yeah, I was being sarcastic but the game can still turn out good. I hope it does for them and Playstation. They need something like that. And we haven't seen actual gameplay so people mocking it is irrelevant for now. It had some good impressions awhile back, from people who played it.

Who knows? We haven't seen the actual game yet. But I don't actively want them to fail because they copied Nintendo? Everyone copies each other

Splatoon is not on PlayStation so the attempt at a clone isn’t the worst idea. Splatoon shows that a child friendly shooter is possible and can be successful. It’s a bit too blatant of a rip off of course.

Kids play more on Switch than PS.

Yeah they should just get on with it. I imagine they would be relatively cheap now too.

Around 4.6 Billion market cap right now, lost a chunk a while back... probably after results.

Agree, it's a good time if they were to strike. Especially with ABK in limbo / delayed. Nothing for Sony to lose in that respect.

SE should be sit somewhere around 700 billion yen. Sony's M&A budget is somewhere around 800-900 billion right now, after the Audeze thing.
I think Sony have to expand their budget to 1 trillion to finalize the deal before FY25.

Also the Indian media merger still in limbo right now, if they didn't finalize quickly Sony would probably has to extend budget. If Jimbo is competent he would try to convince the higher-up

Doing 9 and they haven't even finished 7 yet. Come on son.
