A new Final Fantasy Dissidia trailer has appeared on Gametrailers.com. It features a battle between Cloud and Sephiroth in which various aspects of the battle system are unveiled. Both Cloud and Sephiroth unleash their ultimate limit breaks ie Omnislash and Supernova. Also we catch a glimpse of the Magic Pot which seems to be a summon monster just like in Crisis Core.
Final Fantasy Dissidia is expected to come out in the next month as a standalone game and bundled with a Playstation Portable.
...a personal message from Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY music director and maestro, Arnie Roth.
Followed by very successful performances in Stockholm and Chicago, I am excited to tell you that I will conduct the Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY concert on OCT 8, 2008, in Denver's magnificent Boettcher Concert Hall, with one of the world's greatest orchestras, the Colorado Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony Chorus. This marks the very first time an official Square Enix Final Fantasy concert devoted to the music of Final Fantasy will play in Colorado! The date is coming up very quickly, and I am looking forward to seeing you there for this fantastic night!
Tickets are also on sale now for another newly scheduled performance – Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY will make its Michigan premiere in Grand Rapids on April 14, 2009 at the DeVos Performance Hall, performed by the Grand Rapids Symphony and Chorus. And Uematsu-san himself will be joining us live in Grand Rapids for the performance and participating in a special VIP reception for a limited number of our audience after the concert.
There are many more performances of Distant Worlds being scheduled as I write this, and we will always make sure that you hear about it here as soon as we have each confirmed date.

Square Enix has finally announced the release date of the most awaited Final Fantasy Dissidia. Fans can buy the Japanese version of the game from the 18th of December 2008 at the cost of 6090 yen. There will also be a bundle with the new PSP-3000 which will cost about 25890 yen.
Release dates for American and European countries are still unknown.
A DKΣ3713 video has leaked on the internet. It shows the gameplay of two mostly-awaited PSP games which are Final Fantasy Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Most spectacular is the Dissidia part in which Tidus battles Jecht in Zanarkand. Hopefully, these games will be released by the end of this year.
Apart from that, there's also the Nintendo DS title, KH 358/2 Days which also looks very promising.
