Any guesses at to what this could be? I'm guessing that it will be some sort of online functionality. Because in the English trailer in the bottom left hand corner of the screen (where Lightning is running around the field, and when Sazh is running around town) there is text. There is also a "Talk" icon at one point, and someone says "Carbuncle is so cute. I want the plushy!"

I guess we'll just have to wait until the XIIIth!

We find out today in about 2 hours, I'll be working when they tell us but when I get home I'll be looking up this announcement right away. I don't think it will be an online feature announcement. I think it will either be announcing it as a simultaneous world wide release or a PSN demo. I hope it's ends up being released world wide before xmas, it would be more profitable that way too. Lets cross our fingers.

A simultaneous world wide release would be amazing! I'm crossing my fingers for that. I mean, what other BIG news could they give us? They have already given us so much information about the story, characters, battle sytem etc. What else is there left...?

You bet I'll be on it! I've got the European site open in a different tap :p 15 minutes to go! If the information is as big as it's meant to be then I'll post a new thread.

EDIT: It seems to be a trailer. The TGS one...but my internet makes the stream keep buffering :/ Maybe there will be an announcement at the end?

That's all? Not such big news IMO. Honestly, that's about when I had expected it to be released, so I wouldn't really consider this a BIG announcement. A simultaneous release, on the other hand, would have been HUGE.

Oh well, only four months to go!

Thanks for posting this.
