In less than two weeks time, gamers will be treated to a Final Fantasy XIII Demo when they purchase the FFVII: Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray. The demo will be released in Japan only, but you can pre-order/purchase it from Play-Asia.com.
Being one of the most successful franchises in gaming history, as well as one of my favorite franchises, as soon as I heard the FFVII: Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray was shipping with a playable FFXIII demo, I watched and waited for pre-orders to be available. Now, months after placing my pre-order, the countdown to when I get to try out the long awaited RPG is almost over.
Sadly, as excited as I am, my expectations are a bit low. Square Enix has been disappointing as of late, and I was not happy with Final Fantasy XII’s stray from the traditional turn-based combat system, which FFXIII seems to be adopting and upgrading. Despite this, I still have faith in the franchise and hope to be pleasantly surprised by the gameplay in the demo. If FFXIII lives up to our standards and ends up being an amazing game, it could restore the public standing that Square Enix has managed to lose during the past year or so.
The most difficult part about playing this demo is the fact that I’ll still have to wait an entire year (or longer) to play the final game when it releases here in North America. You can expect my full demo impressions in about two weeks time.
I will be awaiting your thoughts!!! I already have the movie on DVD (yes I know not Blu-Ray), so I am not going to buy it. I wish it was coming out soon!
im debating on buying it myself.. maybe the game would restore faith in squarenix?
I wonder if Japanese PSN will get the demo any time?
i actually am not excited at all over this game. Though the Blu-Ray i will be buying
I have lost faith in SE. I don’t support developer that stab in the back the most loyal fans, Playstation Fans. I believe without us, PS Fan, SE haven’t got to where they are right know. What everyone think?
I can’t wait to see the impressions.
I preordered it a looong time ago. Hopefully it’ll be worth it
i cant wait for this game but my ps3 only has 117mb of memorie from 40 gb and i only used less then 20 i counted how f***ed up is that
