The Tokyo Game Show for 2011 is coming in a little over a week, and as such the big Japanese publishers are starting to give details about what they will (and by omission, won't) be showing this year. Of course, given our focus, we're not going to give much time to the Konamis and Capcoms of the world - but, hey, here's the brief rundown of Square Enix!

The big Final Fantasy games to make an appearance this year are Type-0, XIII-2, and Theatrythym, with playable demos available for all three. Naturally, Versus is not listed in any form whatsoever, though it's possible that Squenix are keeping its presence secret for a nice surprise at showtime.

Dragon Quest will be represented by the new 3DS sequel to Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, and also by the Dragon Quest compilation for Wii. Other RPG franchises include a sequel to Chaos Rings for the iOS, and (what I believe to be) the first real look at a playable Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS.

Finally, given that Square Enix is the publisher of note for many other series in Japan, there will be some other games in their booth, like Modern Warfare 3, that wouldn't be represented in a similar show in the West. Hit the link below to see more of those games, and look for more news coming from TGS next week.

When they say Dragon Quest compilation do you think it could be the complete series with original graphics or just a sorry collection of past Wii games. Ooh I don't know whether to drool or spit!!!

"Dragon Quest Collection" contains the first three games in their original formats, plus the same first three games in their Super Famicom remixes. Apparently it also includes a trailer for Dragon Quest X.

I may be part of a minority, but I'm looking forward to this. Regardless of whether it turns out good or bad, I'm interested to see what squenix does with FFXIII-2 and how they approach the concept of a sequel now that they learned a bit from FFX-2. Waiting to here more character details in particular; hopefully we'll get to see a bit of that with the demo available.
