14 DAY TRIAL // In case you're a fan of Square-Enix's work, you'll surely be familiar with the fact that at the end of this year, Final Fantasy's creator will be hosting a great event, Jump Festa 2008. This means that we'll get to check out tons of FF-related content, plus Kingdom Hearts goodies and some Dragon Quest games. Well, "checking out" seems the right way of putting this, since only a few of the games shown at the event will be playable, while the majority will only be featured through trailers and screenshots.
The half-good news is that we'll finally be seeing some new Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII trailers, but only behind closed doors. Kingdom Hearts fans will feel right at home in the "Closed Door Mega Theater", where Square-Enix will show the above-mentioned FF XIII trailers plus new footage from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep. As you might have probably guessed from the name of the theater, you'll have to attend a closed doors event, so none of you Final Fantasy fans will get to benefit of the goodies shown in the room..
Jump Festa 2008 takes place on December 22nd and 23rd at the Makuhari Messe and, as reported by Kotaku, here's the list of games that will be on display (the first three are either playable or already launched, while the rest are featured as trailers):
