Blu-ray FFXIII demo not going west; but PSN/XBL demo possible |
Ó
"Y'mean we're going digital download only? But... but..."
"Snow, the Patapons did it. Who says we can't?"
I can hear Katy Perry's "Hot'N'Cold" song suddenly play in the background ("cuz you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no, you're in th--" ahem). Square Enix has once again stamped out rumors of releasing the Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, Xbox 360) demo outside of Japan.
However, there's still that one thread of hope: when they say they're not releasing the demo (videos here!), they're talking about the Blu-ray version of the demo. That aside, there are other means of getting a demo, yes?
Speaking to VideoGamer, FF series producer Yoshinori Kitase said:
The type of demo version we released in Japan, we currently have no plan of doing that abroad, partly because we are going to carry on with the project alongside the Xbox version, so we really can't just make it available only for the PS3.
But we hear that the demo version normally means something that you can download in the West, so that is a possibility we would like to check.
Ka-shwing! Hope springs eternal - just like that!

a free demo? No need to purchase Advent Children Complete anymore.
That isn't VG247, it's VideoGamer.
yeap, my mistake. I just noticed it a few seconds ago and was about to change it. Damn, you beat me to it.
didn't the demo have a size about 5gb
so it will be a REAL REAL big download
or a much smaller 1gb or so
but still i hope for one
It's an awesome movie. Wayt better than the original incoherent POS.
they might cut the size of the demo down.
but a demo is also kind of doubtful
and its actually pissing me off (sorry if i cant say that) that microsoft is generally trying to take awy the best qualities frm the ps3. fist the gta iv dlc and now ff 13 isn't exclusive..
darn u bill gates
But you can't blame MS for wanting the game of the year and taking away the competitions trump card. Besides, with Sony not paying for exclusives, it's hard to say it's Squares fault for not sticking with Sony.
Sounds good to me and don't complain about the download size if you got Broadband your good to go man. Plus if you upgrade your hard drive to a 500gb you won't have to worry about space anymore. :)
once again screw the 360.
Try not to show any kinda fanboyism. Being mad that another company has something that one company also has is incredibly childish. Who cares if the 360 also has FFXIII? Just get it for PS3. Only reason to complain would be if the 360 is hindering the PS3 by shoving its way in...which it has lol. We aren't getting the demo because they haven't made two version the PS3 version is what the demo is and they could very well release it out here but then it wouldn't be good for them since the 360 is also getting the game outside Japan. They would have to put it up for download if they wanted to go through the trouble which they probably wont.
The 360 with its inferior drive capabilities is going to be hindering FFXIII a lot so that is why you should be mad, not because its getting the game but because it getting the game means bad news for everyone else. I have both systems and aside from just wanting to get it for the PS3 straight up, something tells me the 360 version will be watered down and bogged down with issues due to the drive problem.
I have all the different systems, but I've been trying to show the PS3 some love by buying all my games on there instead of the 360-but my wife gets pissed because all the dlc keeps coming out for the 360 versions, not the ps3. And I think the FFXIII experience will be better on my PS3 for 2 big reasons-I was an early buyer of the 360, and so I can't go HD with it(PS3 looks beautiful on my samsung in 1080p :p)and 2-No disc swapping needed...that was one of my favorite parts of MGS...Otocon + his Blu-Ray observations...lol
