With photos! I was only able to spend about six or seven hours there yesterday, but I had a blast and met some good people and some great Final Fantasy (and other) cosplayers while I was at the exhibition hall. Being there certainly gave me some good new things to talk about in the next CoNcast (and if you have questions about what I saw, post them here! We're going to be recording a CoNcast later today and I can answer them then or any time).

While some of the interesting stuff for Squenix came out before I could go, I did manage to find some time to check out the FFX HD trailer a bit, and while I didn't come up with any photos of it, it looked solid. I would say it is definitely approaching the level of visual quality that Final Fantasy XIII managed, at least in the cutscenes they showed on the 40" HDTVs they had scattered in the booth. If you're one of the folks who enjoyed Final Fantasy X a decade ago, you should be excited for this, I do believe.

In any event, a good time was had by all. You can see the photos to learn more! Be sure to give props to the cosplayers I talked to, either here or on Facebook, so that they know their hard work is appreciated by the rest of us!

That Gato satchel WAS pretty awesome, but not as awesome as that Liverpool away shirt over jumper.

Was there anything Thief or Deus Ex related there in the Squenix section? I did a quick search and couldn't find a list of games, and also I can't remember if Eidos or Squenix is the official distributor.

Not a jumper, just a t-shirt!

There was Deus Ex: Director's Cut on Wii U on several demo stations, but nothing genuinely new. Thief was limited to just the big statue that you might have seen elsewhere on the CoN FB page. You're right, both of those properties are Eidos, but since Squenix fully own them now, it's kind of the same.
