IGN sent men and cameras to the Square Enix party held over the weekend in Tokyo. Those men and cameras have returned, with footage of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the DS, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep for the PSP and Final Fantasy Dissidia, also for the PSP.

Dissidia looks pretty fun, actually. As does Birth By Sleep. I look forward to both still.

The party's over?
No special RPG for PS3?
No magical FFVII remake?
Well at least the event's name was explained.

Kinda wish I could see more of that Sigma Harmonics game they where talking about. It sounds pretty interesting, and I get a TWEWY vibe from it.

At last! Square showing some love to my PSP..
I enjoyed Crisis Core, but that was the only original we got from them!
Totally looking forward Dissidia and Agito!

LIES! They didn't show any footage of FF Agito XIII.
The only one they showed that interests me is Dissidia, because Kingdom Hearts makes me want to vomit. I dislike Disney and loathe the spawn of Nomura, so I can't stand even looking at the KH games for more than 3 minutes.

Oh gods, that end was terrible
But.. wow. Maybe just the camera, but that DS game looks really accurate to the PS2 games

PSP Dissidia looks like a massive graphical step-up from Crisis Core. Must be the angle.

Kingdom Hearts Handheld, Final Fantasy Agito XIII Footage
That is misleading. There was no footage of Final Fantasy Agito XIII. The title should be corrected to Final Fantasy Dissidia Footage.

@Placentasaurus: The Kingdom Hearts games are all really good. Have you actually played any?
Dammit Square. I don't know if I should keep saving for Ps3 or get a new DS for your DS stuff. Square makes me confused.

@Placentasaurus:
If you never played Kingdom Hearts 1, you're missing out as a gamer, period. It's got an epic story behind it.
As for KH2, I'd suggest skipping it and just buying Kingdom Hearts 2:Final Mix+. Better experience in my book, but then again that involves importing. lol.

It stands for something significant. Most likely has to do with the number of days Roxas lived or something.

Er, why did IGN spell Harmonics with an X?
I mean, I can almost forgive it until the show the logo, which spells "Harmonics" like a normal person would.

Wow, thanks to that video i actually now understand the title of squeenix' little show. oh and i guess im kinda excited by the prospect of new KH games, but theyre kinda lacking in the Sora department, and failing to advance the story further. also dissidia has my attention but im still wondering wha tthe hell it is. i

I thought Kingdom Hearts 1 was ok from what i played of it, but I'll never forgive what Kingdom Hearts 2 did to Vivi. You can make as many clown shoe'd spiky haired bad voice acting island children with animal friends as you want, but you CAN NOT mess with the best video game character ever. And by mess with i mean remove all the character, awesome powers, and not-hat-zipper-mouth-faces that he has in FF9.

Minute 1:07: So I will be able to buy a Zack Fair Figure eventually? Sweet deal, Zack was so down to earth.
Birth By Sleep excitement fading with the passing months and the small gameplay chunks.
358/2 Days, suddenly more excited! (before, I was at zero) But now that I see it.

All the stuff I say was pretty sweet. The handheld KH games especially. My question is... whats with the TWEWY Reaper marks? They were even playing music from The World Ends With You in the background at 2:09. Kinda weird. Wish I had one of those shirts though.

All I've seen is 10 seconds of gameplay footage for any one of them, and already I'm more excited for the handheld games than for 13, particularly 358 days/2. I was odd enough to enjoy Chain of Memories, and the fact that it has multiplayer makes it sound like a great future purchase.

@FalconMbuster and Klaymen: WEWY for WEWY's sake, I guess. It's only the most stylish thing Square has going right now.
I'm waiting for the milking and slow buildup of hatred for it to start, actually.

I can't wait to play Kingdom Hearts on PSP, I also like they have a PS3 and Siren: Blood Curse in the background.

@hrabbit: Actually, three five eight days over two.
How did the press get this wrong in the first place? It's like no one read the katakana that were always on the logo but me.

Wow awesome Squeenix: brand the entire event with TWEWY and then not show or announce ANYTHING about it.
How weird 0_o

@axiom:
I believe 358/2 has to do with the time sora was in that sleep state during parts of the first 2 kingdom hearts games.
if i'm thinking right, it actually takes place in that time, and you play as orginazation 13.
yeah, thats probly it

@FalconMbuster: i thought it would be some hint for a part two of a new TWEWY game on the ds? That would be awesome..... Doesn't have to be Shibuya, maybe take place in Ikebukuro, Akihabara, Ginza, or Harajuku? Or Osaka?
Now I want the KH on the DS. Would be nice if Square could port the KH 1 and 2 over on Nintendo Wii, This is why I don't want to spend so much extra getting a PS3 with backward compatibility. I know I am missing out a lot, the only KH I've played was the one on GBA Chain of Memories.

Kingdom Hearts!!11
Really looking forward to BbS. The DS retread not so much. There might be some interesting parts but I really don't feel I need to go over this story again. At least, the gameplay looks fun.
The nomura-whoring has got to stop though. The guy is supposed to be overseeing all 3 KH games, desinging for Dissidia and developing Versus? I don't want the games to suffer for SE's inability to actually hire people.
Kingdom Hearts!!!11 :P

@urutapu: Yeah, just very odd to me. It's like Nintendo holding an event, branding it with Pikmin, and then announcing a new kid icarus, mario kart, and zelda spinoff.
When I saw the invites and event information I got excited (understandably) for some TWEWY news...but I guess there's none to be had 0_o. Silly Squeenix.
