It is that time of the year again where Japan holds one of their biggest gaming expos of the year. The Tokyo Game Show will be in full force September 18th through the 21st. As gaming conglomerates gather in the land of the rising sun to display their gaming prowess. It is a gaming wonderland. Major developers are already preparing their panels and exciting announcements will be made. With over 1,600 booths, and 30+ areas to explore how does the western gamer cope with that little tinge of jealousy that will welled up inside as playable demos are released, and region exclusive games are announced. Nothing. But what I can do is inform you what to expect at Tokyo Game Show.
Square Enix will be present among other video game developers, already announcing their line up for TGS 2014 with games like Bravely Second, Chaos Rings III: Prequel Trilogy, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy Explorers, and Final Fantasy XIV. Rumor has it that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be present with a prediction of a 2015 release date. Tetsuya Nomura, Square Enix game director, has stated that Kingdom Hearts 3 will conclude the story arc but not the overall series. Sad as that will be, it will still be an exciting time for Square Enix fans and gamers everywhere.
