CALL IT FINAL FANTASY XVII YOU COWARDS.
In addition to Kingdom Hearts, the Nintendo Direct featured some more Square Enix content.
For the first time, the HD-2D engine is being applied to a Final Fantasy game with Final Fantasy Resonance on October 22 for Switch 2 and the original Switch. Based on the shuttered mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (similar to how Octopath Traveller 0 was an offline version of a live service game), players will be able to summon classic Final Fantasy characters and possibly Lightning in turn-based battles.
A gameplay trailer also aired for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World - the sequel announced during the Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary stream - alongside a December 3 release date. The end of the trailer seems to indicate that the third Dragon Quest V bride Deborah may have a role in the story as well.
A brief Final Fantasy XIV trailer was shown in the sizzle reel at the end, but did not provide a more specific date than August.
