Given that of the big 3, Nintendo seems to be doing the most interesting stuff right now, I would think that would take priority over the unveiling of yet another Final Fantasy thing.
E3 2015
Concept »
The twenty-first annual Electronic Entertainment Expo took place June 16-18, 2015 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.
Square Enix VS Nintendo (what will giantbomb do?)
But what if they show that new Sleeping Dogs game? That takes precedent over any Nintendo product in my mind...

Hey, what about Just Cause 3?!
If Square Enix were going to show off anything interesting they'd do it at Microsoft or Sony's conferences. That's how all of these third party conferences go, they just show off more of the games they already showed at the big publisher's presentations. They've gotta go with Nintendo because there'll be actual new material out of that one.
Whatever they do, I'd suggest turning off the chat for the Nintendo show as (if the old Konami shows are any example) you know that at precisely 9:01am there will be people posting who have just skipped forward maybe even right to the end.
The Nintendo conferences aren't VODs they put out, they live stream the pre-recorded presentation so that that exact situation doesn't happen.
Since this is the first Square Enix keynote/press conference at E3 ever (or what feels like forever) I would imagine the guys be more interested with Square Enix. They might just keep Nintendo running in a corner to see if anything interesting is happening or not. However, since Nintendo is delivering their keynote as digital and it'll probably be buggy trying to watch it live so they may just wanna wait for the archive to appear on youtube, or something...
Who cares, I just wanna watch the crew watch Sony press conference and make fun of John Drake and Bodega, even though neither would be appearing on the stage.
This probably means I'm going to have to watch each them later in a vacuum avoiding the live and even Giantbomb commentary just so they don't drop things in like "I here SE/Nintendo just announced X" while watching whichever they choose to. I like seeing the way these things are built up and announced (the lulls included) so having two at the same time seems like a quick way of breaking that.
Maybe I watch the one Giantbomb aren't doing and then the recording of the Giantbomb commentary.
Whatever they do, I'd suggest turning off the chat for the Nintendo show as (if the old Konami shows are any example) you know that at precisely 9:01am there will be people posting who have just skipped forward maybe even right to the end.
If I remember from last year - they stream the digital recording (so you can't skip back) and then it just repeats until a complete VOD is uploaded.
@kishinfoulux: what do they have goin on right now, other than FF?
Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Kingdom Hearts 3, Star Ocean 5, etc
Square is old and busted. Go Nintendo
You've got it backwards buddy. Just Cause, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Hitman, kingdom hearts and FF15. Nintendo will show Star Fox... Star Fox and amibos
So many fresh ideas coming from Square not like the game that has 15 in the title, sequel to the reboot and stuff like that.
Yeah give me Mario Party fucking 87, Mario Kart 17, and New Super Mario Bros. 54 and so forth.
@kishinfoulux: Oh look a bunch of sequels how original
@kishinfoulux: Totally forgot about Deus and Tomb Raider. Hopefully we'll get some gameplay of Tomb Raider and some trailer for Deus Ex.
Fuck Nintendo.
I concur.
Yup
what's so appealing about square's lineup? just curious, there's another tomb raider, another just cause. the new ff looks more interesting than 13 did but how is this worth a "Fuck Nintendo"?
Square will show off some really, really flashy CGI trailer for five new graphical engines, it's going to be soooooooo exciting
@cameron: you can already find all the xenoblade info you would ever want since it's out in japan already.
Yeah it's unsettling, but such is the way of things.
Our @SquareEnix#E32015 Press Conference will now start at 10am PDT instead of 9am PDT. http://t.co/SV3rpH3qVhpic.twitter.com/D7W4Y8Zi9u
