Well, at least not until the new fiscal year for us. Anyways though, for people hoping for a demo of FFXIII outside of Japan, don't hold your breath. Rumours are going round that Microsoft are blocking Square Enix from doing a demo over in NA and EU, so if you want to play the game as a demo before buying it, now will be your only time it seems.
 
If that's true, Microsoft needs to go fuck itself to death now -_-
 
SE said NA won't get FF13 anytime before April 2010 so that timeframe makes sense.
 
I kinda feel bad for the guy. Constantly replaying that demo/trailers...
 
Seems like they got rid of the annoyin' whiny hero and turned it into a sidekick with a nest for a do. His voice isn't annoyin', thankfully, but he seems like a whiny bitch. I was figurin' he'd be all comedically annoyin' and the devs were gonna try and make him "hip" as a poke at us or something like that. I dunno if anyone else though it was funny but when she told him to fly, in the segment you linked, Gerry, I was expectin' a racial joke when he landed, we get a chicken instead.

I really wasn't lookin' forward to this game to much but it looks pretty damn cool. I especially like the battle music.

Yeah, I dig the the music that plays at 1:12 when they face the Sawblade enemy. Graphics are excellent and the gameplay looks really fun. Always had the game in the back of my head, but never really was like "Oh boy, when is it coming out!", but I'm actually looking forward to it now.

Ba-zing! Ker-plow! Ba-dunk! Sha-zam!
 
So how does one go about getting the JP version of this? What website do you guys use to import this stuff?

Also, can't the NA PS3's still play JP regions?

eBay, play-asia, etc.

And PS3 games are region free.
 
Microsoft blocking the demo for FFXIII? Why would they do that?

And does that only apply to Xbox? I find it strange they'd block the demo for Sony as well.

The hell you talkin' about? I don't have any idea so I'mma say a bunch of things and hope I hit the right spot.

The demo is only out in Japan, in which the game is still a PS3 exclusive. Therefore, there is no demo for the Xbox 360 and even if their were it would be region locked, like most all Xbox software as the consoles are not region free like the PS3.

The rumour applies to any English release demos of FFXIII. Say that SE were to, once again, do a tie in demo with another one of their games like they did with the demo of FFXII tied in with the release of DQVIII, well, MS aren't having any of that, especially on a rival platform like PS3. The demo could potentially harm sales of FFXIII on 360, so MS, feeling threatened, feels the need to ruin everyone's fun (bastards >_>) and block SE from releasing the demo anywhere other than outside Japan.

I can see MS pulling that kind of BS, So, if you want the demo you need to be fast and get the first print editions of ACC from Japan.

Hate him. Hope he dies. Stupid character that tries too hard to be funny <_<
 
Well, I'm holding my breath for it just being a rumor. Either way I might import the JP version of the game and try it out, otherwise I'll live with waiting 'till 2010.
