I just saw this on kotaku and it's a heads up for those who don't know.

Some dude is streaming the FFXIII demo on justin.tv, so check it out here if you are interested.

I'm not sure how far in the demo he is, but you can see some combat and all the other good stuff.

EDIT: The stream gets a bit choppy at points as i imagine there are quite a few people watching it.

Combat seems to basically be FFXII's combat but with a larger and retooled overlay/HUD.

Yep, looks boring like I expected.  Oh well.

He punched a mechanical dog.

I was checking it out a bit before.  I ordered the FF7AC with the demo from NCSX, should have it this week.  Seems cool from the bit I watched, might as well wait for the real thing otherwise.

was just about to post this xD

the combat looks more final fantasy than 12 which is great

the story seems pretty interesting..atleast visually

i like how they ditched the womanly male protagonist and just straight up made the main character a female

great so far

This requires me to go to justin.tv, so unless it's something I really want to see I think I'll pass.

It reminds me of FFXII mixed with FFX-2's chaining system. There seemed to be a percentage meter rising from 100%, but i'm not sure if that represented extra damage or experience or what.

Har har. No voices is comical. I missed the first half was there any gameplay?

"Har har. No voices is comical. I missed the first half was there any gameplay?"

Is this 'stream' just a recording of earlier on repeat? Or the dude really playing the demo again, not that i'm complaining.

Also, i imagine the lack of voices in the Versus XII trailer to be because they haven't actually recorded the final voiceovers to begin with. Shame i can't read japanese but i'm sure a transcript will show up sooner or later.

i think hes playing it over and over again

I haven't seen any combat, but what I'm watching now... the music is awesome and that guy's hair looks cool. Oh okay it was the end.
I kept watching and they replayed the demo, it looks really good. I've never played a Final Fantasy game, but I've watched other people play it. Seems pretty cool.

Nice, looks like Final Fantasy and it also looks gorgeous. I'm happy with this.

Interesting ranking system... I don't suppose you'll ever get a S-Rank...

Look fucking amazing...

I'm so hot for this game. The combat looks great, and the audio too. It seems a lot uematsu-ish and more memorable than the music from XII, where no particular track stood out to me.
If they nail the story and character development (which again i found lacking in XII. I had like little to none emotional investment, except for the awesome Balthier) then i'll be happy. I have such high hopes.

I want to love it as much a FF X (my favourite game of all time), but that might have been a right place and right time thing.

Looks practically CG like. Damn those sexy textures.

Looks like Final Fantasy alright. Also looks like I won't be playing it...

Wouldn't it be nice if this game had Japanese voice work with subtitles.... it's quite good and I reeeeaaalllly don't want to see what localization is going to do to Kalzroy.

"Looks like Final Fantasy alright. Also looks like I won't be playing it..."

Man, I was gunna come here and post this too!

It is pretty boring to watch, yeah... but still a must play :p

not your type of game?  i think it looks good enough to justify you giving it a try atleastbtw that icon is gold"

Watching this game, "Final Fantasy Agito XIII", in action insured me that Square will not disappoint. Being on 2 consoles shouldn't be an issue at all. What matters is that this franchise should not fail if we wish to have a future with such masterpieces like the previous games of the Final Fantasy series. The action sequences, graphics and fluidity of the gameplay kept me at awe almost the whole time. The story narrative is told by the world and characters of this game. What is a Final Fantasy game without a montley crew of characters coming together to take on a tale which is epic.

I currently do not own a PS3(sold my MGS4 Bundle, terrible bundle), after seeing the "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" trailer, I am sold. What held me back on buying another PS3 is that I have one HDMI port and one component connection on my monitor. Both are occupied, HDMI with my Xbox 360 and the component with my PS2. I could not get a hold of a reasonable deal of a BC PS3, so I may need an excuse to get a bigger HD monitor. Anyways, long short, I am getting a new 1080p LCD 42" with multiple HDMI, component and a PC input for a good deal. Next will be the PS3 in time for the winter releases this year. Again, I can not stress enough; "I am excited about the game "Final Fantasy Versus XIII".

Wait a damn minute.

looks like the regular FF style, which has not been fun for me since about FF8

wow,... whatta buzz kill NickL

It depends what mode Im in when this game comes out and if Im up to a JRPG. Looks pretty good overall though

is he fighting... robot dogs? :s

looks awesome though.

Thanks for the complement.And yes, FF isn't really my style. I've tried some (FF4, FF7, FF10, FF12) But I could never get attached to the universe or the characters like so many people. And I don't like the majority of RPGs.  I will probably try this game out via demo, or if I have a drought of games, I'll rent it and see if my tastes have grown into it."

You played all of the worst ones. How did you manage that? You skipped right over the best of them all, FF6."

4, 7, 12 are the best ones, bud.   Really though, if he's not into any of those FF's I doubt 6 would change his mind.
