PS3 FFXIII demo in March, Parasite Eve, Agito PSP-bound
TOKYO–Unlike the past two summers, Square Enix isn’t holding a general-admission event. Instead, the company invited select fans to a private party held today cryptically called “DK Sigma 3713.” At the ongoing event, attendees played the latest demos and saw the newest trailers from Square Enix–which also used the proceedings to make some newsworthy announcements.

First, the Shinjuku-based publisher re-confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII is planned for worldwide release in sometime in 2009. It also announced that next March in Japan, a playable demo disc for the PlayStation 3 FFXIII will be bundled with the Blu-ray edition of the computer-animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The demo disc will also include new high-quality trailers of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which remains a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, a mobile game which is also now coming to the PlayStation Portable.
Square Enix also announced some new steps in its multiplatform strategy, which was highlighted last month by the E3 announcement that Final Fantasy XIII was coming to the Xbox 360. Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday and the aforementioned Final Fantasy Agito XIII, both originally announced for mobile phones, are now officially making their way to the PSP. The Third Birthday is the Parasite Eve series’ latest installment, and is set to ship sometime in 2009. However, there is currently no release date for Final Fantasy XIII Agito.
Square Enix also re-confirmed its all-star game Dissidia: Final Fantasy is set for release this December in Japan on the PSP.
