Square Enix announcement event set for January 18th photo

There's a big Square Enix event set for January in Japan, and Famitsu says that they'll announce major titles there. The Square Enix 1st Production Department Premiere was set for Jan 11, but they just rescheduled it for the 18th. A drawing on Japan's Square Enix members page will determine which members can attend the event.

The event, which will take place at Toho Cinemas in Roppongi, Tokyo, will likely be showing something big. 1UP reminds that Tetsuya Nomura told Famitsu in September that a January event could be showing Final Fantasy Versus XIII or Final Fantasy Agito XIII. They've listed Kingdom Hearts 3D and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy as well. The 1st Production Team makes all of these, so the chances are pretty good that we'll hear something about at least one of them.

Seeing 'FINAL FANTASY Agito XIII' on this page made me excited to think that we'll hear a release date for next year. Ugh, I would kill for that! That game looks amazing.

I really hope the "???" that Square-Enix is going to announce isn't a new game. I'd much prefer if they announced a 'Final Fantasy PS3' collection or 'Kingdom Hearts PS3' collection instead. THAT would get my attention. Playing a Final Fantasy game on the PS3 that I actually enjoy.

I definitely wanna see more Final Fantasy Versus XIII, though I assume most people were too disappointed with FF XIII to care about the spinoff.

Here's to a quick December (Y)

I might actually finish FF13 by then.

I'm sure they'll have a ridiculous, over the top trailer to show off. And then they'll go into seclusion for another year.

Some Chrono Trigger sequel? A new good Final Fantasy? The World Ends With You 2?
Kingdom Hearts 3?

The list goes on...

I am so pumped for this, I don't even know what to say... I will say that I'm ready for the inevitable disappointment that I'll feel after it's over and done, though. Square has a way of breaking my heart of late. First it was E3, then the TGS, and now, this special event for Fabula Nova Crystallis. All I can really expect is delays, but; like the Squeenix whore that I am, I'm still counting the days until the event. Anyways, on a positive note, I hope they will at least let out a confirmation/release date for a Final Fantasy HD Collection. Most of the work there is already done, all it lacks is the 720p polish. *fingers crossed*

@Kylehide yes, and not on the Wii. Keep it on a handheld. There was a rumor that Nomura was considering it.

Squeeeeeenix is a joke. "Hey guys, we're going to release this game next year."

FIVE YEARS LATER

FFV and FFVI for 3DS? C'mon SE, you know you want to. Throw a little more Final Fantasy Tactics my way, too.

Not to mention the fact that as a publisher Square Enix publishes mostly crap.

I want to get excited but squares track record hasn't been so hot. FF13 was the first final fantasy I found mediocre, and the International edition of star ocean TLH was just a port with the stuff they shouldn't have removed to begin with and 0 new content (and they had a year to work on that).

I want to support square but their making it difficult to do that.

Oh, I almost forgot about the FF IV Complete collection for PSP. I'm hoping to learn more about this title, because my PSP would be much happier if it could share in some of the awesomeness that is/was FF IV. LOL Such a whore....

How about a Final Fantasy reboot that's equal halves Uncharted and Call of Duty?
Maybe throw all the characters onto snowboards too. And make it all motion controlled compatible.
Get on it, Squeenix.

I don't even care about Versus anymore. Just want a solid turn-based, taditional, real JRPG that doesn't suck. In other words...

Dragon Quest X please.

I want a Seiken Densetsu 5. But it'll probably be Kingdom Hearts 3, and suck :(

Maybe this is also going to touch on when Secret of Mana and FFT:WotL hit the App Store.

After playing the terrible Final Fantasy XIII and hearing about all the BS with FF XIV I no longer care what Squenix has to say. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong in 2016 when one of these games actually gets released.

How about they just release their old amazing games on the PSN Network, I care waaaay more about playing Parasite Eve, Xenogears, or Vagrant Story. First commenters post about FF Collection in HD for PS3 would be a smart choice for them to make which means it'll never happen.
