Some of you might of already been reading up on the news from Square's special day (erm weekend) that's going on, for those who havn't here's some news regarding the PS3.
Square announce that the much anticipated "Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children" Blu-ray will be making it's round to North American this Spring and with it a demo for Final Fantasy XIII as well as some trailers for FFXIII VS and Agito. Link.
Square also confirmed that FFXIII Versus will remain exclusive (unlike FFXIII) and even showed off some footage. Link.
Lastly, Square says FFXIII will be hitting Japan in 2009. Then they'll be working on localising (english VO, etc) the NA PS3 version and porting the 360 version for a release date after Japan's. Link.
Final Fantasy XIII
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Mar 09, 2010
This entry into the Final Fantasy universe is set in the worlds of Pulse and Cocoon. Players take control of multiple characters who are caught in a war between these worlds.
SE news: FFXIII demo in FFVIIIACC and XIIIVS exclusive
"the FF13 demo is for japan onlyUmm, no. I'm decently sure thats the date for the english version and will be released for NA audiences.
"
Meh, you just want to pwn some magical robotic RPG villain type things right? Maybe ride a Chocobo here and there.
"I wonder if there is Chocobo racing...Nah, square would prob want to keep it out so they can sell it as an addon or even its own game in the future. :P
"
"the FF13 demo is for japan only "
No, it comes with the FF Advent movie on BD, its PS3 exclusive though, if thats what you meant.
"I'm still pretty "meh" over Versus--just doesn't look appealing to me.
"
Seriously? Lokos hella better then FF13... Versus is also more of an influence from KH, which I love. Plus its more dark and has a cooler character IMO.
"Mourne said:Those are pretty much my thoughts. See with FFXIII I know what to expect, Versus is just something fresh and looks rather exciting to me. I'm more excited for Versus tho I am excited for both."I'm still pretty "meh" over Versus--just doesn't look appealing to me.

Honestly I have never played a final fantasy game so none of them have ever appealed to me and never will appeal to me.
Like i said before, likely will see exclusivity disapear like a fart in the wind if 13 sells over a million or so. And im not really into advent children the movie sucked badly in my opinion, it was just a poster child for square to say look what we can do.

I thought it was great news. We got some more PSP exclusives, FFXIII Versus Exclusive, FF:ACC release date with a FF13 demo with new Versus and Agito Trailers. That's all great to me. Parasite Eve and Agito are welcome additions to the PSP arsenal.

Parasite Eve and Agito are welcome additions to the PSP arsenal.Yeah, I thought it was all very good info but... at the same time I'm still wondering where this "Massive exciting news" that they promised us is. If it was the whole show with the above news.... I'm thinking they should of chosen their words differently. So many people expecting something HUGE.
"
"Well that HUGE news was the demo in March 09.. :SReally? THAT was the "HUGE" info...? lol. I remember being on different forums where they were freaking out about remakes and such. Question, was that "FFVII coming to PSN" (the original as a downloadable PS1 title) true or just some pipe dream made up by ambitious fans waiting for the "Huge announcement".... I can't recall!
"
I guess, I don't know; its what they said. Supposedly (rumors) is that tomorrow, or at TGS, KH3 will be shown.
If that happens, I will shit my pants continuously for 5 minutes.

So will the demo ever make it to PSN? It better, because I don't feel like watching Advent Children again. I've had my fill.
"So will the demo ever make it to PSN? It better, because I don't feel like watching Advent Children again. I've had my fill.Probably not, SE made itself clear how there would be no public demo, in the past. And you don't have to watch it all over again, just buy it, lmao.
"
Well they still haven't announced their "SHOCKING announcement about FFVII" so I wonder what it is. I haven't gotten FFVIIAC on Blu-Ray yet so I hope the Complete comes to NA, specifically Canada so I can get it. I have it on the PSP, UMD but that's not enough. I want the big version on Blu-Ray with extras, now that'll be sick. I just wonder, if they'll bring the demo over here to NA and make us proud.
"LiquidPrince said:I'd buy it =P"I wonder if there is Chocobo racing...Nah, square would prob want to keep it out so they can sell it as an addon or even its own game in the future. :P

One more reason to get Advent Children. Plus with the whole "including the trailers of the FF games" with the bluray maybe they can stop showing FFVXIII behind close doors! .....hopefully
"hush404 said:lol, loads would, thats the point. Square knows it too."LiquidPrince said:I'd buy it =P"I wonder if there is Chocobo racing...Nah, square would prob want to keep it out so they can sell it as an addon or even its own game in the future. :P

BTW its early morn after the event is over... and I didn't hear any "OMG SHOCKING NEWS". Some generally good and kewl news (besides the whole delaying the PS3 ver of FFXIII so the 360 port can be done) but nothing that even comes close to what they were claiming to unveil.

How many times must I tell you, the demo in March WAS the shocking news...
Big shock. Although, I don't like that it's right on the FVII:AC disc. It would be better if it was packaged separately.
"Seriously? Lokos hella better then FF13... Versus is also more of an influence from KH, which I love. Plus its more dark and has a cooler character IMO."That's likely where my lack of enthusiasm stems from. I feel really out of touch with Kingdom Hearts anymore, especially after the second one. It seems to be catering far more to teenage anime enthusiasts than those in search of a stable and translatable story (like that of the superb, original Kingdom Hearts). I enjoy a fair share of anime, but too much of modern anime simply doesn't work for me--most anime these days tend to focus on guys who almost look like girls with gravity-defying sword fights.
To each their own, but what Versus XIII is showing me is not what I'm looking for. I'm sure it's what some people are looking for, just not me--and that's OK.

"
What would be hella funny is you only unlock the demo after you have watched the entire movie, no fast forwarding or anything, lmao.
"Big shock. Although, I don't like that it's right on the FVII:AC disc. It would be better if it was packaged separately.What's so bad about it being on one disk???
