We know that Square Enix is showing off a number of its highly anticipated titles at the exclusive Japan-only DKΣ3713 fan event starting August 2. What we didn’t know – until now – is that the folks over at SE are prepping an announcement that will “shock” fans in attendance, or so says company exec Shinji Hashimoto:

You can look forward to the upcoming invite-only fan event DKS3713 [taking place in Tokyo on August 2 and 3], where we’ll have a major announcement that will shock the fans in attendance.

Interestingly, the question that prompted his response was in reference to the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Blu-ray release. So perhaps another FFVII movie is on the way? Or – dare I say it – an FFVII remake? Seems unlikely, but to be honest, what else would qualify as shocking? We’ll find out soon enough, I suppose. Hopefully they aren’t getting our hopes up for nothing.
