Just in time for Christmas, Square Enix lines up their newest and hottest titles for Jump Festa 2009, a show that will take place on December 20, 2008.
The whole listing of what Square Enix will be showing there is listed at the official Japanese Web page, complete with handy little icons showing what will be playable (the controller icon) and what will be viewable-only (the film strip).
It looks like Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts will both be big focus titles. Do we need four Kingdom Hearts games, though? We're hoping to get our eyes on hot new footage of non-playable hits Star Ocean: The Last Hope (pictured above), Blood of Bahamut, and Final Fantasy XIII.
Playable titles:
- Dragon Quest IX (DS)
- Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road II (Arcade)
- Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS)
- Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP)
- Kingdom Hearts: Coded (Mobile)
- Kingdom Hearts Mobile (Mobile)

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days does not make any sense at all is it a fraction? is it almost 365 days but the other half of the game was cut out turning it into : 358/2 and the /2 is a bunch of crappy cutscenes?
whats Final Fantasy IV: The After?
The list confused me, what with the break and all the already released titles mixed in.
And where the hell is Kingdom Hearts 3? Forget this 358/2 and Coded crap, give me a legitimate sequel for New Arcadia's sake!
The title in KH:358/2 Days, I think, refers to the time Roxas spent in the Organization(358 days - the last seven days, he was in Fake!Twilight Town). I have no idea what the 2 stands for, though. Maybe it represents Roxas and the 14th member, Xion? As of now, noone knows.

FFIV:The After is a sequel to FFIV, with Cecil's and Rosa's son as the main protagonist. The heroes from FFIV also make appearances in the game.
I really hope they will show more from the FFXIII games - not just trailers in a "Closed Theater". Interesting that all Kingdom Hearts games are playable too, that's nice. But I'm still waiting for KH3...
