Square Enix DKΣ3713 Event, Japan
 

After a mediocre E3, nobody expected exciting things until the Leipzig Games Conventions (August 20th to 24th) or TGS (October th - 12th), but today and tomorrow, Square Enix are holding their DKΣ3713 event - a fan-only 'party' at which they're showing off various Squenix products, as well as announcing one thing that will shock fans. Now I'm still waiting for the big announcement that will shock fans... oh, wait a minute, it wasn't the fact that Versus XIII will stay as a PS3 exclusive (honest!), was it?

I'll post some PSU articles as well (all about the FFXIII trilogy):

FFXIII demo to come with FFVII: Advent Children Complete :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

An FFVII Advent Children bundle for the PS3, with the FFXIII demo. Groovy...

Final Fantasy Agito XIII heading to PSP :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

FFXIII Agito is going to be on the PSP - which is quite interesting. So far, Versus XIII is the only Fabula Crystalis Nova title that is staying exclusively on the originally intended platform. Though I suppose it now means PS3 and PSP owners can boast, once again, that the full Final Fantasy experience is only available on the PlayStation platform!

In-game footage of FFXIII and FF Versus XIII shown :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

In-game footage of both FFXIII and Versus XIII was shown... the rest of the world will probably get to see it in 2010, when some bright spark leaks it, remembering that no-one got to see it in 2008.

Final Fantasy XIII gets Japan 2009 release date :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

A release date of 2009 for FFXIII in Japan... riii-ght... so Squenix can release it in January, which means the rest of the world gets it in November, or they can release it in November, and we get it in September the following year... big whoop.

And a thread about the other news: http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=157098

Here are some IGN impressions of the Versus XIII and FFXIII trailers.

I hate being too broke to have a PS3 and a PSP
