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.

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.

A photobucket user uploaded an off camera video of the Jump Festa 2007 trailer. The trailer is all CG, and shows footage of many of the other characters we have previously seen in scans and screen shots. The music is not from the actual trailer as there is most likely a great deal of ambient noise in the background, so it was replaced with another track.

During an interview with Kitase, and Hashimoto, Kotaku.com has confirmed that Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be staying PS3 exclusive. The following is the interesting bit of the interview.

Question: Motion controls?
Kitase: "No, we have no plans."
Question: "Will FF Versus 13 be multi plat?"
Hashimoto: No.
Question: FFXIII uses a properitary engine. Correct me if I'm wrong, that's the last time, it will be used.
Hashimoto: "We haven't made any changes about that."

Kotaku was also able to clarify a few more points.

- Crystal Tools is a PC based engine, so the game will be developed on a PC then ported to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

- The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions will have the same content, but of course the Xbox 360 will have DVD(s) and the PS3 version will have a Blu-Ray. He wouldn't comment on the number of discs the Xbox 360 version will take up.

- Final Fantasy XIII will first be released in Japan and then development / translation will start on the English version. Then development will start on the Xbox 360 version.

FXN Staffers Steiner and Brass2TheMax combined efforts once more to bring us a translation of the newer of the two Final Fantasy Versus XIII Trailer. After getting his hands on the background music, "Somnus", Steiner could finally hear the lyrics crystal clear, and with it, wrote his definitive translation. Thanks to Brass2TheMax for subbing.

Lyrics:

Tragedy divides everything, the dear and the lovable
Omnia dividit tragoedia caram amandamque

And in this everlasting night
Et nocte perpetua

In the desperation
ehem desperatione

You can see the dawn
Auroram videre potes

Morning, the time of awakening
mane tempus expergiscendi

A clip from the TGS 07 closed mega theatre trailer has surfaced. The clip is an off camera video, but you can still see some images of the Blonde Haired Girl in motion.
