The official site for this event is up! They announced it via twitter:
SQUARE ENIX 1st Production Department Premiere | SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS
Apparently 300 Square Enix Members get to attend the event and 10000 get to watch it online as it gets streamed on NICO NICO LIVE! The event is at the TohoTheatre in Tokyo on January 18th, 2011.
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

I'm so going to laugh if SE announces that Versus XIII is being renamed Final Fantasy XV at the event.
The crystal theme is sorta overused cause technically its usually a major factor in every FF title, so nothing new there, but each of the games has been confirmed to use similar terminology. Agito has l'Cie for instance but whether they are anything like the ones from XIII is up in the air. Versus XIII mentions the goddess from XIII as well though she appears to be playing a much larger part of the story for this title. Basically similar terminology is shared but its being strongly hinted that they are very different from each other in each title.
As an example, say their was a VII Mugglefluff title and it had a group called SOLDIER but in this game SOLDIER are a race of Dragon Knights that protected an ancient kingdom instead of being Mako/Jenova infused super soldiers. That's what's kinda going on here.
Basically SE is trying to reinvent the FF franchise in a way.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I could have sworn I read that FFXIII and Versus were supposed to be in the same universe at least. This was back when they were announced though. If the crystal theme is all they have in common, then I think they may as well have named it FFXV. FFXII had crystals, and the logo for FFIX was a crystal. It's not really "going back" if they barely left it at all
Oh well. The title is the least of my concerns.
FFIX revolved around Crystals too did it not?
Silly Squeenix.
I like Kung-Fu.
Yeah.. And they've retconned FF1 to be about crystals now instead of orbs. It'd probably be easier to think of Final Fantasys that didn't involve crystals
The development time for the Final Fantasy titles has become too long to keep the public interested. Hasn't it been over four years now since Final Fantasy XIII Agito was announced, for example?

I just want more info on versus. That's the (one of) main reasons I got a PS3. It looks so much better than XIII (I'm getting it in a few hours, but I'm not all that excited). From what I read about both games, I reckon Noctis' city is in another part of the world and is going through it's own problems because (SPOILER)they are the only people left who still have control of their crystal. I'm probably totally wrong, but that's my uneducated guess. I can't wait until we get more info on it (and possibly KH3)
When we dance, it looks just like Fire.
When we sing, it sounds the same tone.
Well, I just hope that they release a lot of information on the titles currently in development, because I think a lot of people are wondering what is going on with the company given recent events regarding Final Fantasy XIV. Now, more than ever, it's important to keep in touch with the customer base, I think.

FF just bought the trademark for the name Final Fantasy Type 0. http://www.siliconera.com/2010/12/29...antasy-type-0/
Final Fantasy Reishiki sounds cool.
