No Blu-ray Demo in the West
|
Yoshinori Kitase has essentially said "lol wut's PSN?" at a press event in London, stating that Square Enix have no plans to release a disc-based demo outside of Japan.
quoteHe continued to say that there may be a possibility of the demo becoming available via download outside of Japan stating: "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." Source
Liars. They said they weren't starting the 360 version until the PS3 one was finished. What the shit.

PSN PSN PSN!
I'd rather download it (prefferably for free) than buy it on a disc. Especially if said disc costs $30+ and comes with a movie I already have. Just ain't worth it. I'm a little freaked out that Kitase doesn't seem to be familiar with demo downloads. Japan has demo downloads too, Mr Kitase!

Kitase is the good guy too!  That does seem like he has no idea what PSN is, come on SE, you are one of the most famous game developers ever and one of your top employees does not even know how successful PSN is?

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the demos currently available on the JP store are for Western-developed games. Funnily enough, though, one of the demos on there is for Crystal Defenders, so Square Enix is not completely unaware of downloadable demos.
I don't know, it must not be a big thing over there.

Dunno if this deserved a new thread so I'll just post this here  quoteEnglish Final Fantasy XIII Demo Will Be New And DownloadableSquare Enix still haven't decided if they are going to release a Final Fantasy XIII demo in the West, but if they do, Yoshinori Kitase has announced that they "are thinking of providing it in a downloadable format" and that "if we were to provide the demo overseas, it would be a completely new version." gamegrep article Edit: Aug 21, 09

I would rather wait till the full game comes out. We dont even have to wait that long either.
