Final Fantasy XIII demo will focus on "the basics" |
Ó
Eye-candy cut-scenes are good and all, but I wanna see how Final Fantasy XIII's (PS3, 360) battle system actually works. Fortunately, Square Enix says this is exactly what they're going to focus on with the demo. Not that that's any surprise. That's what a demo is for.
(Unfortunately, the demo's Japan-only, so I still won't see how it plays... I have to consider moving to Japan.)
Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase says that since the game still won't be out for some time yet, the demo will only focus on "the basics." Considering how much the battle interface changed in the last comparison shots they revealed, it won't be surprising if it changes again between the release of the demo and the release of the actual game.
Kitase also notes that the game's basic elements are done, and he can finally see its completion time coming. We (or at least, Japan) will be seeing more promotional events for the game this year. Any bets we'll see Lightning in ads promoting energy drinks?

When the battle system started looking more traditional. I like turn based battle systems, and I think the FF series should that core system. No more XII mmo hybrid crap.
Doesn't matter for me as long as all of the game's elements work together and give us a great time playing the game. I hope they release a demo before the launch of the english version and i don't mean on some special disc, i want the demo to be released on the PSN store.
wtf is wrong with them? i dont care about final fantasy, but why is teh demo only available in japan? thats gay...
1 - There is no chance in hell of this game appearing outside of Japan in 2009. 2 - The game isn't even finished in Japanese and probably won't be finished by the time the demo comes out. 3 - They will start working on localization for America and Europe (and porting to the 360) once the game is finished. These are some of the reasons why the demo is being released for Japan only.
