Square Enix Party announced for August

It appears that the Japanese side of Square Enix is going to hold an event promoting some of the company's upcoming software. The event, dubbed DKΣ3713, will take place on August 2 and 3 in Harajuku in Tokyo. It's invite-only which means there's a huge chance you won't be able to go (read: absolutely no chance if you don't live in Japan); however, SE is giving people the chance to sign up and be selected to receive an invite.

Square Enix is giving away 2,400 invites to eager gamers waiting to see the latest on PS3 games: Final Fantasy XIII, Versus XIII, and PSP games: Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Dissidia. The application period starts this June 23 and will end July 13. Invites will be selected after those dates. Check out the full list of games here.

We won't be in Japan for this, but we hope our (few) Japanese readers will be able to enjoy the festivities. As for the rest of you, we're sure you're too excited for Metal Gear Solid 4 today that you won't be too bummed out on missing something like this.

358/2 days sounds good.

Thats on DS. Birth by Sleep is the real game, prefaced at the end of KH2.

I know.

I hope this party isn't one of those ones that ends badly, with announcements of cancellations, or flips to Xbox 360 exclusives. That wouldn't be a fun party at all.

Agreed... After the SO news, I don't think I could take much more of that stuff.

As a 360 owner with no real intentions of getting a PS, I'll admit that I still cannot wait to get a look at the next Final Fantasy.

Then why are you here!?

A 360 owner with excellent taste in literary allusion-filled forum names.

The question is: What does DKΣ3713 mean?

Not sure but the katakana at the top is:

Puraibeto Paati!
(Private Party!)

Sorry, nothing to see here. Move along.

Ya know, there is a link to you question. If ya are lazy to click, is the name of the party

I know is the name of the Square Enix's event but I was wondering why was it name DKΣ3713. In other words, is there a meaning behind it?

Sony has managed to perform some serious pooch-screwing with regards to SquareEnix, and left the door open for Microsoft to make some important inroads into the JRPG market. We just got Sony saying they're revising their policy of paying for exclusives -- this is no doubt a reaction to the news that we're just getting about Star Ocean and Last Remnant.

Grease those palms, Sony. It may not be the way you've played the game in the past, but Microsoft is in position to set the rules now, and this is how they like to operate.

the xbox is getting the grade B JRPG's we get FF and Vs. Not to mention we'll get all the xbox ones as well, just a little later.

Just because YOU consider them B-grade, doesn't mean that people who prefer to play JRPGs or really RPGs in general aren't considering jumping ship to the 360. The PS3 currently has next to nothing, and it's quickly approaching two full years on the market... Kinda sad, really. I'm a shooter kinda guy, honestly, but even I see there's a problem here, and I feel bad for my friends who want their RPGs.

Blue-Ray version of Advent Children??? SOLD!!!!!

Man, i can't wait to see the news on the new kingdome hearts games and final fantasy!!!!!!
