With the announcement of their E3 lineup this year, Square Enix moves into the expo aiming to show a broader variety of games than the ones we usually see. Taking their partnerships with other developers, the A-list publisher will showcase different game genres in their booth, apart from their arsenal of heavyweight franchises of course.

Here's their lineup for E3 2009:
  • Dissidia: Final Fantasy (PSP) - August 25, 2009 (North American release)
  • Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) - 2010
  • Final Fantasy Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Wii) - Release TBA
  • Final Fantasy Chronicles: My Life as a Dark Lord (Wii) - 2009
  • Final Fantasy IV: The After Years: (Wii) - June 1, 2009
  • Front Mission Evolved (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) - Release TBA
  • Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (DS) - Fall 2009
  • Nier (PS3, Xbox 360) - 2010
  • Order of War (PC) - Fall 2009
  • Supreme Commander 2 (Xbox 360, PC) - 2010
"As our best-selling FINAL FANTASY franchise continues to evolve, Square Enix is focused on creating the best entertainment experiences for all gamers," said John Yamamoto, president and CEO. "Our new partnerships with companies such as Double Helix, Gas Powered Games and Wargaming.net are a testament to our commitment to offer a much broader variety of games across different genres."

By variety, they mean Supreme Commander 2 and Order of War for RTS, and there's Front Mission Evolved, a third person shooter. Notably, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep isn't on the list, so we'll have to go with just 358/2 Days in the meantime.

Half of their games having Final Fantasy in it? and another one that has Final Fantasy characters in it? which brings the amount of Final Fantasy related products more than half?

How can you still not give anything about Birth by Sleep

Maybe the fact that there hasn't been a single good Kingdom Hearts game? The fact that it's a joke series created to prove how much they're milking the FF franchise.

And no, before you try and protect the game. It's not about the Disney characters. Infact, the Capcom created and Sega created Disney games for NES and Genesis respectively are some of the best games ever created. It's the gameplay that's sucked balls on Kingdom Hearts.

I'll play some "good" Disney games all day long. Infact, I have. If Square made the game about mini stories of the Disney series in the game, then maybe it might have been good, but the storyline has always been about the Heartless, generic bull***** in which you have some *****got running around with a keyblade to save the day.

My wish for Front Mission: Evolved came true!

I wish, in some ways, that Square-Soft and Enix remained separate entities. This is what you get when you combine too many companies together. So many development teams and projects that Square-Enix is looking more like a budding EA! I'll still buy the Final Fantasies, but how I wish the merger wouldn't have been done. Enix competing with Square-Enix would've made for better games.
