Final Fantasy XIII Blu-ray Demo Not Planned

There are no plans for a release of the demo for Final Fantasy XIII on Blu-ray outside of Japan, the game's producer Yoshinori Kitase has told VideoGamer.com.

In Japan a demo of the Square Enix RPG was included on Blu-ray with the film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete--which is due for a demo-free US release June 2.

Kitase raises the idea of a downloadable demo, saying "We hear that the demo version normally means something that you can download in the West, so that is a possibility."

Final Fantasy XIII is should arrive on PlayStation 3 in Japan later this year, with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions due in Europe and North America no earlier than April 2010.

Lack of focus on non-Japanese markets is really not a great strategy, Square. I wish Capcom was publishing this game instead.

Wait wait wait, you got it all wrong. April 2010 is a rough estimate as to when the US will see a demo. US Release date for the final game stands at TBA, well - at least for the PS3 version.

This game is soooo far away, it's almost not worth reporting on. April 2010 at the earliest. Yikes. At least I have Infinite Undiscovery. :)
