SQEX has no plans to bring FF XIII demo on ACC's US release

[KuraudoStrife]

Asked by the site VideoGamer.com if the US release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete would bring the Final Fantasy XIII Trial Version, Yoshinori Kitase said "The type of demo version we released in Japan, we currently have no plan of doing that abroad, partly because we are going to carry on with the project alongside the Xbox version, so we really can't just make it available only for the PS3.", so in other words, there won't be any demo to americans after all? Kitase says "But we hear that the demo version normally means something that you can download in the West.".
Well it sounds strange, because you can donwload that on the US, but you have to buy on Japan.

Well ain't that just a kick in the tits. =/

Someone needs to walk up t Kitase, grab him by the shirt collar, and say, "Guess what? A shitload of people will only buy ACC for the demo so GIVE IT TO US!!!!" D:

Unless he means it will be available on the PSN? That works. Maybe they want to get the 360 version up and working first?

Or maybe they think it needs English dubs? Or maybe this is no time for localization?

I wasn't planning on buying ACC anyway, so this is win/win for me. Absolute lol at SE trolling half its fanbase.

Unless they're planning on releasing it on PSN and XBL for free at some point. Then it will be a kick in Japanese tits only. o_o

 

[KuraudoStrife]

Well I already got my demo working nice and clean, the game just looks amazing and I'm really looking forward to the final version. But if they release it on the American PSN, it'll be sure a kick on the balls of the Japanese... well, this is SQEX.

The quote shows that we'll end up getting the demo at a later point for free. So I don't see what the fuck all the complaining is about.

Japanese fans were able to get their demo first since it was bundled with ACC. We'll end up just getting it for free off of PSN.

Mako, seriously, come on, lets go 10 posts without swearing I know you can do it if you try.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Cba

 

[Alex]

The only valid response. Touche.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Actually, he did lose points for not saying 'Fuck it' before CBA.

It's the difference between a B and an A, after all.

Just as this new branch of discussion might be, please keep this topic on track. Think of the children and kittens and baby Jesus and whatnot.

@topic, shit sucks. Doesn't Japan have PSN?

 

[Makoeyes987]

Yeah they do. I'm a member of it.

And I fail to see what sucks.

 

[Max Payne]

You fail to see a lot kid.

 

[NoenGaruth]

Well this isn't all that suprising, I gathered they wouldn't have the english dub recorded or something and it's not really that feasable to release a game with Japanese Audio to the US market. A demo on the PSN sounds like a better idea to distribute it internationaly.

@Dacon

Well enlighten me then, fucker Because us getting a demo to download from PSN is hardly a bad thing at all. So what's the problem? SE released the demo first with ACC, and then for Western audiences they can download it.

NoenGaruth summed it up perfectly.

Kittens get affected by this? Tiger doesn't mind that mako reactor spouting cusses though.


Anyway I'll ask my cous if he can pirate the game and tell you all how it goes or if it blows.

Blablablaba

I don't give a shit about some shitty demo, I'm just commenting on the fact that you have the perceptive skills of a blind hedgehog.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Have you played the demo, faggot? Stfu. I can't help if I'm blind and spiky

 

[Max Payne]

All demos are shitty by their very nature asshat.

 

[ForceStealer]

Given that I have the demo, I guess I don't really care, but still it reminds of the extra wait I will be forced to endure due to this multiplatform bullshit

 

[Max Payne]

According to IGN, the wait isn't going to be that long.

SE claims they're already recording english voices and shit for the localization.

 

[Channy]

If the wait won't be long, then why not release it with ACC and release the demo on the xbox live network?

 

[Makoeyes987]

...Probably because the demo isn't done, hence it not being included with ACC in the first place

 

[Channy]

Then why tease us with such promises?
