Demo of FFXIII out in Japan
Yesterday final fantasy 13′s first playable demo was released in Japan, its probably been one of the most awaited game demo’s of this year so far and was brought on mass.
Not due for release until winter 2009, the japanese version of the game, as with all final fantasy titles since the early ones is hotly anticipated. This demo version was included with the blu ray release of final fantasy seven the movie – advent children, which went on sale last thursday (yesterday) and was brought in huge quantities, for both viewing and the much awaited ffxiii demo. Sony had made a big push to fully instate a big launch for this demo, huge posters where put on the outside of the Sony Building, the sony show room’s in Tokyo (Ginza district) also had huge final fantasy promotional posters.
Restricted to work only on Japanese versions of the ps3 this early ffxiii demo represents an old build of the game (as in our previous post about this 1 hour long ff13 demo) – this does mean western audiences will likely not get their hands on it for a long time, which is very much a shame, but it does also hint that by the Tokyo game show coming up in september Square Enix will probably be showing final fantasy 13 Big style. Something we will have to watch, even if we won’t get the game in the near future
