Since the show has started, I figure we should have a thread.

There's reports coming in already about how there's gameplay footage of XIII on 2ch. Apparently Snow fights hand to hand, and Shiva is running over folks in battle after freezing them.

Can someone confirm?

EDIT:
also, if this is in the wrong place please move.

"Square-Enix's annual attendance to Jump Festa today is just as predictable as every year. They've brought along their lovable Closed Mega Theater and in it they're showing a brand new Final Fantasy XIII trailer in private. We'll be relying on the scattered trailer descriptions as usual to find out what happened.

Apparently this trailer stars a new male character who has a "shota" like nature. We'll be expecting another feminine character as per usual.
There is supposed to have been new never seen before battle footage with Snow fighting. They're defending the Pigtails girl.
They summon Shiva during the battle shown. She freezes them using Ice magic and then runs them over in her motorcycle form.

We'll update you when we get more information."

Some new girl, has a bob cut style haircut? oriental style appearance. Seems to take a bit from Rikku in 10-2, that's the feeling she gives off anyway.

A lot of other characters are on screen too.

Lightning working on planning a prison break from where they're being kept; a restraint holding them from entering the main area of the Cocoon?. Lightning is planning it and Snow is taking leadership of the operation

Lightning is in a straight jacket or something. I think this is where it breaks into the original footage when they're on the train and she takes out some of the Cocoon soldiers.

Snow is talking about his ambition to protect Sera and the people of the world but apparently, according to Lightning, Sera has already been captured by the Fal'Cie.

Because of this Lightning belts Snow
Lightning: You didn't protect her! did you! < or something like that

Snow: therefore I came to help!

Lightning puts down her fists.

They show the battle here.
The battle is as flashy as it has been previously mentioned in small amounts in interviews etc.
The quickness and motion in the battle is the most furious and heated FF has ever seen. They were thinking along the lines of FF7AC style it seems.

Shows a bit of the command, jumping is in the game as said previously but the writer of the blog says he was unable to tell how it happened.

In the Cocoon there is a warning voice being projected. It was hard to hear what was being said over the noise of the music etc.

Event scene:

Snow and Lightning help someone being taken away by a solider? Snow takes a Bazooka like weapon from a downed Soldier and delivers a counter attack.

By the way, Snow gives a machine gun to someone, the suspect being taken by the soldiers? She introduces herself as Vanilla.

Another battle, snow summons shiva and freezes stuff then completely destroys them all.

By the way, all voices are in the trailer now, for each character.

I still don't quite get the point of Square's closed theaters at public expos. Why bring it at all? How do people get in anyway?

They are open to the public, you're not allowed to take pictures there or anything like that.

I think the only restriction on them is that you have to line up to get into it. Which isn't that much different to other things at a gameshow.

I do believe the Closed Mega theater gives out a certain number of tickets each day right when the event opens. If you don't get a ticket before they all run out then you don't get to go in.
