Square Enix’s Tokyo Game Show 2012 line-up is huge but the important thing is? There won’t be Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII or Final Fantasy: Versus XIII.
This is disappointing for a lot of reasons because Lightning Returns was just announced two days ago, and people were no doubt excited to see some gameplay footage from that game.
Final Fantasy: Versus XIII’s absence is not a surprise because we already reported that earlier. Tokyo Game Show 2012 will contain Hitman: Absolution, Dragon Quest X for the Wii U and a lot of good games which you can check out below.
They will also publish Black Ops 2 in Japan like they did with previous Call of Duty games, so that will be there too. Sleeping Dogs, Final Fantasy: XIV, The World Ends With You: Remix for iOS and a lot more will be shown.
Here’s their complete list:
