Famitsu publisher Enterbrain are releasing a magazine and DVD bundle that will show the contents of DKΣ3713 party, (newest trailer) and 'play footage' [assuming this is gameplay]
Releases 13th December in Japan
A week after that, is Jump Festa, where Final Fantasy 13 has also been confirmed to be on show in video form
So in december it's pretty likely we'll FINALLY see gameplay.

I have a friend in Japan, I wonder if it would be worth it to beg him to get me a copy... Might as well just wait for the trailers to show up online. Looking forward to the jump fiesta a lot, it's usually a lively show.
