The third game in the Kingdom Hearts series, which has been long overdue for a sequel, should be announced at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, according to a rumor posted on Kotaku.

Disney and Square Enix collaborated on what, at the time, seemed like a weird combination of licenses but proved to steal our hearts with its action-RPG stylings. The post makes no mention of a release date but it’s likely to be out, at the earliest, Summer 2009 and it will be exclusive to Sony’s PS3.

There’s been some rumor-mongering on the interwebs (when isn’t there?) about the possible release date for Final Fantasy XIII. The article, which has since been pulled, pointed to the now non-PS3 exclusive releasing in Japan next summer and making it out to North American by the end of the year.

It seems likely that that’s the time table for the game as Square Enix recently announced that they’re packing in a demo of the game in the upcoming Bluray Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete next year. So…they have been working on something, it just takes time, patient gamers, it takes time.

A picture taken by the attentive GameTrailers poster, irchief’s Avatar, at Best Buy points to the possibility of some type of release for Final Fantasy VII on “8/16.”

Square Enix just held a conference this weekend and announced little else but Final Fantasy: Advent Children Complete which was given a release date for next year.

Might this be a goof up on Best Buy’s part or is it possible that we will be getting a remake of the original? A port to PSN? Strike this up as strictly rumor and we’ll see what happens when the date nears.

In the meantime, what do you guys think?

Wow, in a turn of events, Yoichi Wada from Square Enix has just announced that FINAL FANTASY XIII is no longer an exclusive title. It will now join the ranks of a Cross-platform release on the PS3 and Xbox 360!

Let the fanboy battles begin. With this annoucement exclusivety is a thing of the past. What’s next Grand Theft Auto 4… WTF!
