When asked by Siliconera at E3 if it would remaster Dissidia for PS3 as part of the PSP Remaster series, Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase said: “We have no actual plans. he concept of remastering PSP titles for PS3 is a new idea and initiative from Sony. We have not had enough time to think through and plan our actions.”

No Dissidia PS3 for you, then. At least, not yet anyway.

Mitsunori Takahashi, director of Dissidia: Final Fantasy and its sequel Dissidia 012[duodecim], has said that while the fighters have their roots in the Final Fantasy series, the development team is more focused on making solid action gameplay rather than producing an authentic Final Fantasy experience.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed in the latest issue of Famitsu that the game won’t show up at TGS – taking place between September 24-27 – in any form. No new trailers, no new screens, no new art.

Nothing. But why?

Square Enix has decided to showcase 2009′s games at the Japanese event, rather than those releasing in the New Year.

Final Fantasy XIII will be seen in Tokyo, as will Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep for the PSP and the international version of Dissidia: Final Fantasy for the PSP.

Final Fantasy Agito XIII and The Third Birthday, both on the PSP, will join FF Versus XIII as no-shows next month.

Both Dissidia Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 will release in the US on August 31, Square’s announced.

Dissidia, the PSP action game, will receive its European date in the coming weeks.

No word on DS’s Kingdom Hearts 358/2 for Europe as yet.

Thanks, FinalFantasySeries.net.

Square Enix has just confirmed that Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be given a European release date in the coming weeks.

“We’ll be making an announcement on the release timing later this month,” a rep told VG247 this morning.

The PSP action game has only been released in Japan so far, where it’s been doing “quite well”: it was the biggest selling Japanese game in January on any format.

Dissidia currently has a “mid-2009″ date for the US.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy was the bestselling game in Japan last month, according to Enterbrain, moving over 185,000 units to reach 850,000 in its lifetime, making its million almost inevitable.

Rhythm Heaven Gold and Wagamama Fashion Girls’ Mode came second and third respectively.

Thanks, Kotaku.

1. DISSIDIA: Final Fantasy 186,352 units/846,614 units
2. Rhythm Heaven Gold 169,567 units/152,238 units
3. Wagamama Fashion Girls’ Mode 158,103 units/707,451 units
4. Animal Crossing: City Folk 148,702 units/1,044,004 units
5. Kirby Super Star Ultra 146,700 units/1,002,127 units
6. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G (PSP the Best) 143,782 units/342,899 units
7. Wii Fit 141,902 units/3,109,199 units
8. Pocket Monster Platinum 119,482 units/2,306,819 units
9. Mario Kart Wii 119,440 units/2,122,755 units
10. White Knight Chronicles 112,904 units/315,937 units

Rabid Final Fantasy fans take note; if you want some day-one hands-on time with Dissidia: Final Fantasy, come December 18, a Japanese PSN account will grant your wish.

According to a Japanese TGS listing (kindly translated by Siliconera), the Final Fantasy-themed, fan service-tacular fighter will be joining titles like Loco Roco 2 and Patapon 2 in the Japanese PlayStation Store on day one.

While pricing hasn’t been finalized, the two aforementioned Sony-published titles’ digital price tags sport slightly smaller numbers than their retail counterparts, so speculation says downloading Dissidia could also save your wallet some grief.

At this point, details of the game’s Western release haven’t been nailed down, so we can’t say whether or not the game’s localized release will be straddling the Internet en route to your PSP.
