Ever since the announcement that Final Fantasy Agito XIII would be coming to the PSP, fans of Sony's handheld have been looking forward to seeing how Agito will turn out now it's more than "just a mobile game". Sadly, today is not the day to see what it will look like running on the PSP, however Gamekyo have aquired a sort-of new screenshot from Final Fantasy Agito XIII.

The screenshot shows a similar area to the screenshots from TGS 2007. As well as showing ruins, they show what appears to be the lone island which was once protected by The Crystal.

At DKΣ1373, Square-Enix is apparently showing Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers on a display at the entrance to the hall which contain gameplay for both games. This will be the first ever time Versus gameplay has been shown and the first new footage of Final Fantasy XIII's gameplay since 2006. Apparently the "gameplay field" in Final Fantasy XIII looks like a highly evolved version of Final Fantasy XII. The location which the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer is based in looks like an "Olympus style arena". Nomura and other developers are currently in a round-table discussion and has said that voice actors will be announced at the Tokyo Game Show in October.

Square-Enix has just confirmed that Final Fantasy Agito XIII, previously a mobile exclusive will now be seeing a release on Playstation Portable. We assume he game is still being developed for mobile. Square-Enix have also announced that Parasite Eve 3 will be moving to Playstation Portable today.

Here's what we just learned from Microsoft in their round table discussion on Xbox Live and the new Dashboard. First, the impetus for re-designing the dash was that the current content navigation is too difficult. They only planned on a couple hundred/thousand items, but they currently have 20,000+ pieces of content in their marketplace. There needed to be a change, and the change is the streamlined dash. Here's what else we found.
