Final Fantasy XIII Demo To Be Sold Separately?
by Chad Lakkis on September 1, 2008 at 11:15 am

August kicked off with news straight out of Square-Enix’s DKΣ3713 event that a 90 minute FFXIII demo would be included in the Japanese Blu-ray release of “Advent Children: Complete” sometime during March of next year.
However, recent news being reported by finalfantasy-xiii.net points to a possible stand alone demo release. The site states that one of their forum members unearthed more information from an interview with Tetsuya Nomura, director of the 2005 CGI animated film Advent Children, and current character designer/director of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and several other Square-Enix projects.
During said interview, Nomura supposedly hints at a possible separate release of the Final Fantasy XIII demo sometime after Advent Children: Complete goes to market.
Afterthought: If true, would this be something you would pay for, and how much would you be willing to fork out for access to a 90 minute demo?

I’m not going to pay for a demo, no matter how big. The demo should serve as a test before I decide to invest in the game. It’s like paying for an advert.

I agree with you Green. If I can wait til March of next year I can wait a little longer.

To be honest the game needs a proper 20 minute demo, for free, on PSN and XBLA. Without one of those, I will never buy the game. If Square can prove to me that they;ve managed to make FFXIII not suck, I might buy it, but otherwise, it’s a no.

I’d happily pay $0.00 for a demo.
