DAILY MANIFESTO

Square Enix Half-Skipping Tokyo Game Show?!

Posted on Wednesday, September 19 @ 18:04:29 Eastern by Heath_Hindman

Square Enix is indeed attending the Tokyo Game Show, but upon looking at the map, one thing stood out to me and my homies: the size of their booth... or lack thereof.

Normally, Square Enix is walking around TGS like it owns the place—and the layman would not be foolish to think otherwise. But this year, with the company publicly announcing that Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be a no-show, that Final Fantasy XIV is on the operating table, and Final Fantasy XIII-3 is also not too likely to appear, the company appears to be preparing for far less than the heart-stopping presentations attendees have become used to. It should be noted that FFXIV will be shown, but how big of a deal it will be is anyone's guess, given the rehabilitating state of the game right now.

The newest Hitman will be shown as well as Call of Duty Black Ops 2 (which Square Enix publishes in Japan), but given the small size of that booth, I'm not sure how much of a splash SE is looking to make with either of them. Dragon Quest X will be shown for Wii U, but there's already a version available on the market in Japan.

Most everything else is arcade and phone games.

    Not true! Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, more stuff in the pipe! More Deus Ex? Thief 4? Tons of stuff in that portfolio.

    See ya later, James Bond

    I'd hope they'd hype FFXIV up every chance they can get. In fact, maybe they should just rename it FFXIV-II and market it as a brand new game. A shame, but I did love me some Dragon Quest VIII back in the day, and I didn't even know about Dragon Quest X so that should be awe...nevermind, just looked it up.

    They don't have a single playable demo this year.

    when the hell are they going to announce a release date for FFX HD? considering how long ago they said they were making it, it should definitely be close to releasing by now. man they're a slow and annoying company
