The Square-Enix Party 2007 Is Now Over
Well, the second day of the Square-Enix Party this year was based mostly around Dragon Quest, and therefore no new Kingdom Hearts news has arisen. Famitsu believes that the surprise and “New Project” were something to do with the short trailer seen at the party yesterday, which means we can look forward to the Tokyo Game Show 2007 (at Chiba City near Tokyo in Japan, 20th-23rd September) for more Kingdom Hearts related news!
Japanese Yahoo Blog member gemaga1985 has put a lot of different information about the various projects and exhibitions announced and seen at the Square-Enix Party. The pictures above show the queues at 11am, in which he had to wait 100 minutes to get in, and then how packed it was when he got inside. He found out from different people that the waiting times for some of the events were up to 3 hours! Feel free to look at the gemaga1985 blog for more screenshots of the day, and of some of the announced projects including the many Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy related ones.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a picture of Yoko Shimomura on the Saturday yet, but she was there signing CDs and shaking hands. I haven’t been able to find a video of the short Kingdom Hearts trailer either, but it probably won’t be shown to the public for a few months officially.
Below are the final visitor numbers for the two days announced by Famitsu. 38,632 people turned up on Saturday and 36,602 people turned up on Sunday giving a total of 75,234 people over the course of the weekend - A great improvement on the 46,981 people who attended the 2005 Party.

I bet you they’ll make Kingdom Hearts Fans wait until the last day to find out any new information.

Well, we won’t see a new Kingdom Hearts project until Final Fantasy Versus XIII is complete and shipped off, since that’s what the team is working on right now. So you’re right, we won’t see it for a while.
When FF Versus XIII comes out, try and find a copy to play; it’s going to be a good indicator as to the future of KH, in terms of gameplay and battle.
