The Final Fantasy XIII demo generated decent buzz amongst diehard FF fans, but there’s one big, nasty problem with it: it’s technically a Japanese release. Packaged in with the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the disc-based demo must be imported to North America. People who don’t want to import the garbage flick for a chance at playing the game are out of luck -- currently, at least.
Speaking to the problem, FFXIII producer Yoshinori Kitase said again that a downloadable Western-geared demo could happen, and even better, it may even be a new look at the game. “We are thinking of providing it in a downloadable format,” he said, according to Joystiq. “If we were to provide the demo overseas, it would be a completely new version.”
Well, now all that waiting doesn’t seem so bad, eh? Of course, this isn’t written in stone. Square-Enix may not release a demo in the West. Still, the idea sounds tasty.

Paradigm Shift on top of ATB in battles is going to be interesting. Command based RPG incorporating lots of action and player strategies!

LOL a bunch of SE staff including devs just packed themselves into the next FFXIII demo. Wish you all could see it too!

@Senger If being an FF fan is too instrumental in liking AC, then that is very strong evidence that the movie isn't good.
Well.
While not ingenious, that was the most obvious way to give my opinion.
@Robbo the hood: It's a gun/sword, and I think it's mid-transformation in that shot. 'Course, I could be wrong and maybe it has a scissor mod.
Why the hate for Advent Children, Brad? I wouldnt go as far as Sengar, but its an enjoyable movie, and the Complete version is much better. And its not like VII had such a perfect, work-of-art plot to begin with. Fun game, fun movie.
Yeah, the movie was pretty much garbage. But it did make me want to play FF7 again, so I guess it accomplished SOMETHING.
Fun film with brilliant fights, that's all it is, that's all I think Square wanted it to be.

Oh, but Squall's "GunBlade" made perfect sense?
