I attended Jump Festa 2007 yesterday and, man, it was packed! Easily over 10,000 people from all walks of life attended the event and a lot of big companies like Sega, Square Enix, Bandai Namco Games, Nintendo, and Microsoft were there to present their latest and upcoming games. It's kinda like a smaller version of Tokyo Game Show where most booths were about games but related to popular Shonen Jump titles like One Piece, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z, Death Note, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. Plenty of voice actors and actresses who played various characters from One Piece, Bleach, Death Note, etc were there to entertain and had talk events but there were way too many events going on at the same time that it's hard to catch 'em all. I only managed to watch a One Piece talk event by the voice actors and actresses who played as Luffy, Sanji, Zorro, Nami, and Usopp, plus a short time watching a Bleach talk event by the voice actor and voice actress who played as Hanatarou and Rangiku.Just as they had done during Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix had a closed mega theater showing extended trailers for their upcoming games such as FFVII Before Crisis, FFXIII, FF Versus XIII, and FF Agito XIII. The trailers are exclusively shown at Jump Festa 2007 only and will not be available on the net or anywhere else anytime soon. They were extremely strict with not allowing any sort of photography inside the small theater and asked all mobile phones be switched off when inside the theater so chances of a leaked video is slim to none. My favorite trailers that they had shown were definitely the FFXIII and FF Versus XIII trailers that revealed a second bike riding character (male) in FXIII and an amazing action sequence for FF Versus XIII. Seems like the main character in Versus can teleport by throwing his blade to where he wants to go. Can't wait to see more of Square Enix's next FF games!
Check out Anime News International for coverage of the event that I had provided for them.

Thank you for your quickly report. Did you take any photo about the Bandai products - Seiya myths series? I heard that Bandai display their new products at show. I would be grateful if u can let us see.
Unfortunately, there were no Saint Seiya Myth Cloth figures on display at Jump Festa 2007. Bandai did display a couple of Myth Cloth figures at the 23rd World Characters Convention held a couple of weeks ago. Check out my WCC coverage for pics of the figures.
oh~~
We found the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R4mMrwKtYM about Jump Festa 07, Bandai showed coming Saint Seiya Myth Cloth Figures Ikki Final Ver and Kanon, also they showed the Saiint Seiya Myth Appendix series.
I didn't notice any Saint Seiya Myth Cloth figures at the event. Had I seen them there I definitely would have taken pictures. I might have missed them though as I didn't spend much time going through every single booth and checking out everything there.

Nope, there weren't any news about a new KH sequel. If there was even a little bit of info about it at the show, it would have been reported throughout the net and game magazines by now.
