With a doubled Avengers and Final Fantasy VII, Square could not only change the perception of his own show, but also increase the enthusiasm for the whole of the E3 2019.

Other potential strengths include the fall of Babylon mentioned above, which has remained silent since its revelation last year, and the unpublished Square AAA shooting game from Bulletstorm's developer, People Can Fly, which could be called Outriders.
