FFXIII Demo On The Horizon

by Kev Lochun on January 23, 2008 at 7:43 am

tgs-final-fantasy-xiii-3-copy.jpg Character designer Tetsuya Nomura has revealed that “2008 will be the year” for titbits of Final Fantasy XIII info, in addition to a playable demo.

Talking in the latest issues of Japanese mags Famitsu and Dengeki, Nomura said there would be a demo to give gamers a chance to get to grips with the new combat system – which is looking quite reminiscent of the combat in the FF: Advent Children movie.

No mention of when said demo is going to make an appearance, but Nomura also hints at the release date, saying: “I wonder when we’ll be able to sleep…” We can but hope this means they’re pulling the stops out to get this on shelves in 2008. But I’d bet the other way, frankly.

Here’s the full excerpt – along with some more nuggets for you to start drooling over:

* Nomura: “2008 will be the year. There will be tons of news bits, info on characters and summons, and an unexpected connection between the keywords Cocoon and Farushi.
* We’re aiming for a demo to give players a hands on on the battle system.
* FF13’s theme: determination.
* Farushi: Their existence surpasses humans.
* Rushi: Those chosen by Farushi to carry out a mission. The pigtail girl is a Rushi.
* Farushi is not the Crystal.
* Mr. 33cm is also a Rushi.
* This time summons are in digital form.
* A new monster that looks like a cross between a turtle and elephant.
* The red thing on Carbuncle’s head is a ruby.
* Hint on release date: “I wonder when we’ll be able to sleep…”
