We're playing a little bit of catch-up here on the conferences. We were able to watch them all live while traveling, but had to take notes for publishing some of these at a later time.
Here are our thoughts on what Square Enix showed during their conferences.

Overall Thoughts on Square Enix
Despite there being only a handful of games we're personally interested in, it's hard to fault Square Enix many places here. They get all the credit for KH and Dragon Quest. They're doing some cool collaborations, and still pushing FFXIV forward.
Overall Score: "Good"
I’m soo hyped for dragon quest 11! It’ll be the first full dragon quest since 8.
I thought this was by far the clunker of the show. Tomb Raider, Captain Spirit, Just Cause, and Kingdom Hearts had already been shown. Babylon’s Fall and Quiet Man had such brief confusing trailers they might have done more harm than good. Dragon Quest and Octopath look like just-another-JRPG.
The games appealing to their already existing communities seemed on point, though. The new stuff, not so much.
