The small Versus and Agito thumbnails featured on the Square-Enix party site and in previous scans are now available in their full resolutions. Like the previous HD Lightning screenshot for FFXIII, they to have somehow worked their way onto the internet.

Unfortunatly they've been saved at quite a low quality so they aren't in HD. Still, it's something new and we'll most likely be getting them again in full quality when the Party begins. Enjoy Photoshoping!

New Game Informer pages have been scanned in by our forum member Yurian. His summary puts it best so I'll add that here.

Revealing its first articles concerning the Fabula Nova Crystalis Compilation, Game Informer elucidates upon some of the previously mentioned details about the three games. Although most of the details were already established from other media sources, GI does confirm two important aspects to the mysterious Final Fantasy (supposed) Trio: Lightning is in fact the main protagonist - the "instrumental force of change" - in Final Fantasy 13, and Square Enix has indeed filed a trademark for a "Final Fantasy Haeresis 13". Despite suggesting the possibly tipping exclusiveness of the series, GI is definitely excited about the games (and hopefully their release dates) - as we can all putatively agree.

The Australian version of Official Playstation Magazine has a section dedicated to the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation including a new interview with Toriyama. Although the questions are pretty basic some new facts have been revealed.

Lightning has now been confirmed as the main character in the FFXIII even though it was stated she wasn't in a Gemaga interview after E3.
The ATB system will be "sped up to it's limit", promising much faster and action packed battles.
They haven't decided whether online functionality will be included in the game but it is under discussion.
Mini-games may be included in FFXIII and could be followed up by full game releases e.g. Chocobo Racing.
Toriyama wouldn't give a release date but said it takes a long time to make a game to the same standard as the previous titles.
Other titles in the series that are yet to be announced won't just be on the PS3 or Mobile which is obvious.

Unfortunatly little mention of Versus, Agito or any other titles in the compilation were made however Toriyama is the director of FFXIII so we will have to wait for information on the other games from their developers.

The president of Enterbrain, the company which owns the Japanese game magazine Famitsu has said in a lecture that FFXIII and MGS4 will be the major selling point for the PS3. The problem he says is that these titles don't have release dates yet meaning customers aren't as inclined to buy the console.

By the time the games are released though he believes the console will be selling better and cheaper thanks to the new 65nm chips being used. Although it's no big news that FFXIII and Versus are highly anticipated installments for the PS3, no release dates for the games could be affecting sales meaning Square-Enix might have to give out a vague date to assure more customers buy the console for the game according to Hamamura.

Like many other magazines in the past week, GamePro has a small extract on each of the upcoming titles for PS3.

The scan gives us a little more background on Lightning.

"In the story an exile from the floating kingdom of Cocoon, who has been
banished to the lower world, finds herself caught up in a plot to take
the sky domain down."

The magazine has also predicted that both XIII and Versus will be released in 2008 like many others have said.

EGM's May issue contains a few more details on FFXIII in their "The Big Ones" section. All the information was found in the Jump Festa issues of Famitsu,  Dengeki and Gemaga but its always better to see a real English translation.

Enemies are part of ecosystems where they act independently from the player carrying out their own existence in their surroundings and interact with other enemies.

They also mention how the Versus camera system works in a different way depending on which weapon is equiped.

Official Playstation Magazine has reported on the real power of our PS3's featuring a high resolution picture of Shiva. The article talks about how the Cell Processor and RSX graphics chips help make the PS3 the lead out of the next generation consoles in graphics and uses the HD Shiva image as an example. Nothing really said about XIII except the small caption saying that Square will prove the PS3's "visual prowess" with the game.

We have some new PSM scans thanks to Lonely_Leonhart from FF-XIII.net. The scans don't contain any new information about the games but instead talk about the graphical leap the series has taken to almost become "visually superior to a Hollywood movie". Interestingly a caption for one of the screenshots says that Versus hasn't been confirmed to be using the White Engine although it has.

Playstation Universe today reported on a rumor that the April issue of EGM contained news of an FFXIII demo hitting the Playstation Store store this month. Thanks to our staff member Omni-Cloud we have a scan of the EGM page.

According to EGM a demo for FFXIII will be released onto the Playstation Store late this year. Unfortunately there is no official source for this information. Nomura has already said that the game will not be released this year but a demo is possible if development has moved forward. According to Toriyama from E3 last year, a demo of the game was supposed to be shown at this years expo but it is unclear whether it's still set to make an appearance.

Dengeki Online has posted the schedule for the Square-Enix Party and Kotaku has translated it. They will announce a new game on stage either on May 12, 2 AM (GMT) or May 11, 7 PM (PST).

The FNC series will come up at some point, but it will be announced after the first stage event. The new game could be a part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series like the mythical Haeresis XIII, another FNC title or a new title with no connection to Final Fantasy 13 whatsoever.

Thanks to Soul for telling me.
