Square Enix Event part II

The day have gone by (at least in Tokyo), and the internet is starting to fill up with information regarding what happened at the SE event today.

First of all an unrelated announcement: Kingdom Hearts Re:coded for Nintendo DS is out for sale.
So if you are a fan of KH and the owner of a Nintendo DS, what are you waiting for?
They also had a debut for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance trailer. Check it out on YouTube.

In three days, MindJack will also be released.

And what next?

The rumors were true! Final Fantasy XIII-2 wa s announced. It's due to be out already next winter.
I know there are a lot of people that loved FFXIII, and I was one of them. It was a beautiful game, and a good story. Sadly for my part, it's not a game that I would want to play over again, as the story was rather straight forward - at least untill you got to chapter 11.
As a fan of collecting trophies and achivements, some of the places were of course rather time-consuming.

SE says that the game will be a direct sequel to FFXIII, and Lightning will follow.
This is the second time SE makes a sequel directly related to another game in the series, the first one being FFX-2. The critics regarding FFX-2 were somewhat mixed though, will they succed this time around?

The release of the trailer for FFXIII-2 will be released January 20th, so hold your horses untill then.

For Final Fantasy Versus XIII, there is still no release date set, but they did show up a new trailer for the game. Check it out! (Japaneese only though)
And it seems like it will be exclusive for PS3 still.


For the mystery surrounding the "Final Fantasy Type-0" trademark and registery of the site http://www.finalfantasytype0.com/, they announced that this is the title formerly known as Final Fantasy Agito III for PSP.
They also mentioned that this will be a spin-off series, and is to be released in Japan this summer.

As for Final Fantasy XIV - that I were hoping for some news on, there was none as far as I have found, other than the fact that they will keep on enhancing and updating the game throughout the year.
Rather sad that there wasn't any more information, taking in consideration that they also had a Player's Poll in the begining of 2011.
Time will show what happens though.

Well, those were the news that I have stumbled upon after the event at least.
One cannot say that SE haven't been productive lately at least.
