Hey everyone,

Below is the trailer for upcoming PSP title, Dissidia: Final Fantasy that was shown at Square Enix’s DKΣ3713 Private Party that took place last month. The trailer contains a lot of new footage, including some never before seen cutscene footage; check it out below!

Hey everyone,

A new Dissidia: Final Fantasy video has surfaced online, the new video features in game footage of Final Fantasy III’s Onion Knight facing off against the game’s antagonist; Cloud Of Darkness. Apparently, this video was the video shown at Square Enix’s recent DKΣ3713 Party; and as far as I’m aware this is the first in the way of “real” Dissidia: Final Fantasy in game footage.

One of the things that I noticed about the video is the way that Onion Knight changes between his default, Ninja and White Mage forms. By the looks of things, it seems as if Onion Knight can change job classes at the click of a button; though this isn’t confirmed. Another thing that I noticed is that Limit Breaks absolutely own the other fighter, towards the end of the video we see Cloud Of Darkness using a Limit Break that brings Onion Knight down from basically full health; to well - next to nothing.

Hey everyone,

The following video, featuring news coverage of Square Enix’s recent DKΣ3713 Private Party was spotted on Sony’s PlayStation TV in Japan. The video shows some new footage, and some previously shown footage.

The majority of it’s not breaking news, though we do briefly see some game play footage of the Dissidia: Final Fantasy demo and the Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep demo. We also see some footage from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

Hey everyone,

Just after Square Enix’s DKΣ3713 Private Party, you might remember Famitsu announcing that they’d be featuring a blow out on the event during a mid-August issue of the Japanese gaming magazine. Originally, the magazine was intended to be released on the 19^th August; but it would seem that scans of the magazine have already been leaked onto the internet.

The Famitsu scans contain a lot of new information and screenshots on the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation, on the Final Fantasy XIII front we have several new screenshots of a black soldier holding up Lightning. (Killzone anyone?) Furthermore, Famitsu continued to say that the Final Fantasy XIII demo that is set to be released along side Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete won’t be on the same Blu-Ray disk - meaning that western gamers will get the oppurtunity to play the game in March, if they so wish.

Famitsu have also said that the Final Fantasy XIII demo will be longer than Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, meaning that we’ll be getting at least 90 minutes worth of Final Fantasy goodness crammed into the demo.

We all knew that Final Fantasy Versus XIII was going to be dark, but we’ve just learned that the people of Final Fantasy Versus XIII’s world will be worshipping a Shinigami that will be designed by veteran character design, Yoshitaka Amano. For those of you who don’t know, a Shinigami is a death god - think Bleach or The World Ends With You.

New Final Fantasy Versus XIII screenshots suggest that characters will change costumes throughout the game, especially during specific cutscenes - though that could be expected. It’s also worth noting that the Prince’s eye colour has been changed from red to blue.

Final Fantasy Agito XIII will be using a similar battle system to that shown in Square Enix’s Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Of course, Agito won’t be featuring the dreaded Digital Mind Wave; but the actual game play mechanics will be similar - only of a faster pace.

Agito XIII will be multi-player with character development strongly focusing on the summon system seen in previous Final Fantasy’s such as Final Fantasy XII. It’s not confirmed, but we’re thinking that summons could be specific to specific characters, just like with Final Fantasy XII’s License Board.

Hey everyone,

This month’s issue of Shonen Jump featured a two page spread on the upcoming Nintendo DS title, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.

The scan is broken down into several sections, called “scenes“. As far as I can make out, the scenes are the order that the events took place in the playable demo that was available at Square Enix’s recent DKΣ3713 Private Party. The first and second scenes show several new screenshots of DiZ and Namine inside Twilight Town’s Mansion; as well as DiZ and Namine - the fourteenth member of Organization XIII is in the room. The majority of the fourteenth member of Organization XIII’s face is covered, though feedback from the DKΣ3713 Party claims that her name is Xion (Shion); and that she has red hair similar to Kairi’s.

The third scene shows new screenshots of a blind-folded Riku holding Sora’s Keyblade inside Beast’s Castle, with a member of Organization XIII keeled over on the floor. Though it’s not confirmed, I believe that the member on the floor is Xion; mainly because her hood remains up. Also, in other screenshots Roxas is partied with the ‘hooded member‘; so the chances are that it is Xion.

The fourth scene shows several screenshots, some old and some new of Axel and Roxas in Twilight Town. It’s hard to make out, but it looks as if Axel is about to fight Riku in one of the screenshots. Though it’s hard to tell because of the quality.
