The screenshots in the recently released issue of Famitsu Magazine have now been released directly. While the images are quite small, they do not contain any of the noise and distortions of the scans.

FXN had the grand opportunity to go to Otakon 2008 alongside KHInsider, as member of the Press! Otakon being the 2nd largest Anime and Gaming convention of it's kind in the United States.

Lauren and myself (Kyle) went, and as press, we ran around interviewing Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts cosplayers, and also interviewed voice actor Richard Epcar, voice of Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts 2, and Laura Bailey, voice of Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist!

We had a complete blast at Otakon, even cosplaying for the hell of it ourselves! Hope you enjoy our Otakon Video Feature!

The video for Japanese Playstation Spot, DKS3713, has been uploaded. All of the videos from the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation are from older events, such as the Cloud DVD, and the Agito XIII video is just screenshots.

The DKS3713 feature that has been talked about in the Famitsu Magazine has surfaced a little early with more than a few scans(I think there will be more to follow).

A summary of what the scans say:
-The Demo of Final Fantasy XIII will be on a PS3 game disc, and will be longer than Advent Children Complete(90min+)
-Most of the Screens in the scans are real time.
-Much of the Clothing and Cars will change in the final version of the game.
-The decision to move Agito XIII to the PSP is because the team did not want to wait for cellphones to become powerful enough.
-The Battle System for Agito will be intense action, but still ATB, similar to Crisis Core.
-Agito XIII will have more than one character in the party.
-The game will also support up to 3 player infrastructure and Ad-Hoc multilayer.

As many podcast listeners may know, Lauren and myself (Kyle) have been blabbing on the FXN Podcast about going to Otakon for months and months, well, we finally went! Better yet, we caught up with an FXN Forumer, Umi-kun (Marina), and decided to do a mini podcast at Otakon!

Otakon, just so you know, is the 2nd largest Anime and Gaming convention of it's kind in the United States, situated in the city of Baltimore. Lauren and I went as members of the press, and had a wicked time interviewing FF and KH cosplayers and a voice actor, Richard Epcar, voice of Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts 2, and Laura Bailey, voice of Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist! Lauren and I went to represent FXN and KHInsider.com.

We also took a lot of photos, you can check those out at our sister site, and we also did a huge Video Feature with all our interviews, which will hopefully be up tomorrow!

A couple of new Shonon Jump Scans contain some never before seen images of Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. These images are most likely from the newest trailers shown at DKS3713.

UPDATE: Since the images are quite small, I enlarged and enhanced the scans slightly so the images/text can be viewed easier.

A few higher quality images have surfaced as a result of Square's DKS3713 event in Japan. These screenshots were previously in scans, but we have yet to see direct images of them.
