The Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference will just go down in history as Square Enix’s failed project in succinctly explaining to long-time Final Fantasy fans about what has happened with Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Agito XIII. Both titles have not shownenough flair to market Final Fantasy as the game to beat under the competitive role-playing genre. As we all know, IGN ranked Final Fantasy XIII as 2010′s biggest disappointment of the gaming industry thus, SE hopes to re-affirm its hold in the role-playing market with titles such as Versus and Agito XIII.

The year 2010 may have not been too kind to Final Fantasy: the botched efforts of the developers of Final Fantasy XIV to create a unique MMO experience, the angry player fiasco who in turn was a stockholder of SE and threatened the company that he would be pulling out his shares of the stock because on how lackluster Final Fantasy XIV turned out to be and the direction of the franchise overall, many players doubt that Final Fantasy would be as powerful it once were during the late 90s.

Overall, Square Enix hopes to change it all with a few major setbacks, which will formally introduce Versus and Agito XIII to Japan and SE’s other titles such as The 3rd Birthday and Dissidia Duodecim. What’s that setback you ask? Apparently, Square Enix just pulled another stunt and cancelled Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference without clearly explaining to the public, especially those who had already reserved their seats outside the Makuhari Mess for the abrupt cancellation of the event.

Now known as Square Enix’s 1st Production Department Premier, Square Enix would be merging its first quarter projects in an effort to consolidate the company’s priority line for the year 2011. The newly-named conference will commence on January 18, 2011 would take place at the Toho Cinemas in Rippongi Hills, the same exact spot where Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children were first shown to the public.

The long tail event will pioneer SE’s 2011 projects and will significantly inform gamers on updates regarding Versus and Agito XIII, including exclusive video clips of the upcoming PSP-shooter, The 3rd Birthday and the highly-anticipated follow-up to the 2009 fighting platform Dissidia, Dissidia Duodecim.
