Square Enix is working on more than just Final Fantasy XIII: Agito and The 3rd Birthday for the PSP. The newest issue of the Japanese manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump has revealed that a Dissidia: Final Fantasy sequel is in development. The follow-up will be called Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy and it will debut in Japan sometime in 2011.

Information on Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy is slim, at the moment, but two of the new playable characters have been revealed. Lightning will appear, representing FFXIII, and Kain will appear representing FFIV.

Video game publishers often team up with other companies for promotions to highlight their newest games, a practice that’s seen throughout the world. However, games and drink partnerships are much more common in Japan. They’re also more diverse.

Game and drink promotions in North America most often amount to a soda company, like Mountain Dew, teaming up with a developer. In Japan, coffee, energy health drinks and soda companies all work with publishers to get specialized products out there.

This week, Important Importables is taking a look at some of the more notable Japanese video game and drink collaborations…

Valentine’s Day may not have been the best day for everyone. I mean, while I’m sure many people experienced loving and tender moments with the person most dear to them, there were probably quite a few people struggling through breakups and recovering from a faded love.

Now that 2009 has ended, it’s time to salute some of the exceptional game released we enjoyed last year. True, there wasn’t an avalanche of PSP games released, but many of the ones that did debut were high quality titles. Some of them may even be considered PSP classics when the system has reached its end and the PSP2 debuts.

Gamertell is ready to pay homage to what we feel are ten of the best PSP games released in 2009. They’re all familiar titles, many were even among the most popular releases for the system last year. So read on, and see 10 2009 PSP games that deserve special honors…

Dissidia: Final Fantasy is, inarguably, a fantastic game. At the same time, it shares a commonality with other Square Enix games. There are things in the game that just don’t seem to make any clear sense. Or at least, they wouldn’t make sense in a real world situation. But that’s part of the fun of a Square Enix game, things don’t have to make sense.

Back when Crisis Core: Final Fantasy came out, it proved to be both a fun and learning experience. It’s no surprise that Dissidia had a few things to teach players as well…

2009 is an amazing year for PSP games. Thanks to Square Enix, NIS America and Atlus, current PSP owners and those who’ve chosen to adopt the PSPgo have had a substantial selection of games to enjoy. Dissidia: Final Fantasy, a fighting game with RPG elements, is easily among the top five PSP games of 2009, and is probably among the top 10 games in general released in 2009.

Two two gods Cosmos and Chaos, have been locked in battle for near eternity. Cosmos is the goddess of light, and Chaos of darkness. This eternal battle keeps the balance of light and dark in check. Both have summoned warriors to represent them and, for the first time, Chaos has overpowered Cosmos. So, the world is on the verge of collapse since darkness has decimated light.

There is still hope, though. The ten heroes summoned by Cosmos, from Final Fantasy I-X, have been told to find the 10 crystals…

Well, my day is officially made. Square Enix has just announced that yes, of course they’ll be bringing Dissidia: Final Fantasy to North America, and we should all be expecting it by the middle of 2009. Sure, there was probably never any doubt it would receive a worldwide release, but its good to see that it will be coming to us fairly quickly.

In Dissidia, we learn that there is trouble between the goddess of harmony Cosmos and the god of discord Chaos. A war has always been brewing between them, but it was natural and no problem, since the two sides possessed an equal amount of power. But now, Chaos’ army of warriors has proved stronger than the force summoned by Cosmos. Players must step in as well known Final Fantasy characters to fight and restore the balance. It turns out that Limit Breaks and Overdrives will return as EX Bursts and that you will also be able to summon Aeons to assist your fighter during a battle.

The full cast list as as follows…
