Square-Enix will be holding a big gaming event mainly for the Japanese this May, an issue of Famitsu reveals. The Square-Enix Party 2007 will be held on the 12th and 13th of May at the Makuhari Messe, just outside of Tokyo. Admission is free, although you’ll have to, of course, arrange for your own transportation.

The first Square-Enix Party was held back in July of 2005 and proved quite popular, with over 45,000 attending over a two day span. Given the popularity of the 2005 show, we were surprised when last summer came and went without a similar event.

Details on what will be shown at this year’s show have yet to be revealed. The 2005 event saw a number of playable debuts along with a final release date for Final Fantasy XII, so we’re hoping for something big once again.

Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ is set to make an appearance at the upcoming Square Enix Party 2007. Japanese gamers will be able to try out the game, alongside other Square-Enix games currently in development. Tetsuya Nomura announced that the next Kingdom Hearts project would not be revealed at the Square-Enix Party 2007, but a surprise is prepared.

Square-Enix has yet to announce a list of titles set to be exhibited. That being said, with at least 13 games scheduled to go on sale in Japan before the end of the year, there probably will be more than enough reasons for fans to head for Chiba come May.

Translated from the Official SEP2007 Website:
“It’s when you can experience various game software of SQUARE ENIX, with many fans and players, at the same time!

Please wait for future information on opening contents and other information. Everyone is welcome to attend.”
