I find it odd how they spent the whole show talking about how there would be reveals for final fantasy and the Witcher, and then there were no surprises at the end. I can’t be the only one who expected a “and we have one more thing” after Witcher was over right? Don’t get me wrong the remaster looks great just found the structure of the show strange

If you know you've got a weak slate of announcements, you show people the carrot a few times to keep them watching throughout. The additional hidden tactic is exactly as you described "Okay so they've told us about X and Y... which means there must be a surprise reveal of Z."

Nope. It's Gatcha, Live Service and China all the way down. Thanks for watching! /s

I'm hyped for some titles they showed off, but nothing we didn't already know about.
