PSP At Square Enix Party 2007

The party is over, and what’s left is great anticipation of what surely is the year of PSP now. With three new games announcement plus the confirmation that a Kingdom Hearts spin-off will be announced in September’s Tokyo Games Show, most probably for a handheld, Square Enix has staged a really memorable party for all PSP fans. Here’s lots of pictures of PSP from the show floor. Via ITmedia, Impress Watch, Gemaga, LB-CCFF7.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII

The game of the show given its exposure and long queues. After years in development, there is finally an official Japanese release date (September 13th) for what looks like the final game in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII release date and latest playable built were revealed behind close door.

Dissidia Final Fantasy

Due to the heavy “security” at the show, there’s no images of Dissidia Final Fantasy, the game that mixes Kingdom Hearts’ visuals with 3D fighting was represented by a trailer at the Closed Mega Theater.

Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary

Even though the PSP wasn’t even born when Final Fantasy first came out 20 years ago, Sony’s handheld is certainly very much the center of Square Enix celebration plan. With Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition out so far to a hot reception, there is no denying that Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition and Dissidia: Final Fantasy can only do better.

Final Fantasy VII Potion

Will every Final Fantasy title comes with a potion from now on? This is the second such attempts by Square after Final Fantasy XII. Not sure how much health we can gain by drinking it but it sure looks cool.
