‘Final Fantasy’ & ‘Dragon Quest’ Lead the Charge for Square Enix’s Line-Up – TouchArcade

Sq. Enix normally has one of many greater, extra attention-grabbing cubicles on the Tokyo Sport Present, and this 12 months was no completely different in that sense. The road-ups to play just about something there have been among the many lengthiest of the present, and there have been fixed crowds gathered round all sides. What’s fascinating is that this 12 months it had a barely thinner line-up than ordinary, specializing in the most recent video games for its greatest manufacturers. Whereas that might have included cell, Sq. Enix was primarily pushing its upcoming console releases greater than the rest. However whenever you’ve bought that sort of ammo, why not use it?

Relying in your angle of strategy, you’ll both run smack into Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest – The Journey of Dai or Last Fantasy VII Rebirth. The previous is on the cusp of launch, hitting Nintendo Change, Ps 4/5, Xbox Sequence X/S, and Steam on September twenty eighth. We’ll doubtless have protection of the sport for you on both Change or Steam as soon as it’s out, nevertheless it’s actually shaping as much as be an gratifying action-RPG. The latter… nicely, it doesn’t actually match TouchArcade’s jurisdiction, however Last Fantasy VII Rebirth seems completely unbelievable and I think about everybody at TouchArcade Towers is wanting ahead to its launch subsequent February.

As for video games coming to cell, the large one is SaGa Emerald Past, the most recent chapter within the long-running collection and one that appears to be following within the footsteps of Scarlet Grace. That sport shall be hitting iOS, Android, Nintendo Change, and PlayStation 4/5 in 2024. Sq. Enix had a spiffy new trailer for the sport that debuted on the present, however we’ll have to attend some time longer earlier than we will get our fingers on the sport itself. I’m actually excited for this one as a result of I assumed Scarlet Grace was completely sensible.

Outdoors of that, the one issues mobile-wise that Sq. Enix was selling have been the on-going Battle of the Visions: Last Fantasy Courageous Exvius, which apparently has a Last Fantasy VIII collaboration occurring, and the Japan-only Parts With Emotion. Even exterior of cell, Sq. Enix didn’t have a ton of different issues. Dragon Quest Monsters 3, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, PowerWash Simulator, and naturally Last Fantasy XIV have been all a part of the writer’s promotional supplies and sizzle reels.

Oddly absent was a lot point out in any respect of Last Fantasy VII Ever Disaster, which not too long ago launched on cell. I suppose it’s in that awkward zone the place there hasn’t been sufficient time because it got here out for any main new updates, however sufficient time that it’s in all probability not price devoting a lot time to selling its preliminary launch. I want it wasn’t so money-hungry, as a result of there are loads of issues I like about it in any other case. Sadly that individual ingredient has a approach of spoiling even the best of soups. Properly, that’s nothing to do with Tokyo Sport Present.

The custom of spectacle of Sq. Enix’s Tokyo Sport Present cubicles actually continued on the 2023 present, even when the writer appeared to be relying extra on a couple of key titles versus the extensive unfold it has supplied up in earlier years. The booming theme tune of Dragon Quest is a digital fixed on the Tokyo Sport Present, and I’ve come to contemplate it a part of the occasion’s soundtrack. Properly, if you happen to’re going to get by on solely a handful of titles, there are worse issues to convey to TGS than Last Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
