Not gonna lie, I kinda made a sad face when reading that (second) hashtag...
 
Pretty ridiculous to think this spoils an entire event.

It's not a 2 minute Nintendo Direct or something, it's an entire event, there's multiple things to see.

Still looking forward to waking up and reading the new info in the morning.
 
Does anything not get leaked anymore? How can Gamespot screw up. I hope Square comes on them hard.

It's information given to employees who may or may not give a flying duck about a developing house that has been a respectable contributor to video game RPGs for decades.

Square has always had quality to their work and anymore news agencies and social media don't care either way. They'd give us the ending before we got the actual game.

I've been a supporter of Square since their Squaresoft days, so I assume anything and everything will most certainly happen.
 
Holy shit! Shame about the leak. That would have been a legendary announcement. Duscae was awesome so I can't wait to see the advancements.

Wait... this is free, right?

This demo was announced a while ago so it wasn't a surprise in the first place. The only new information is the Carbuncle unlock.

It is free. SE want to get as many people interested in the game as possible.
 
I just went to youtube so I could hear to Hashimoto say "Please be excited" for 10 hours, but it seems to have been deleted. =(
 
So I bought Type-0 HD at launch, played it for about an hour, and then spent way more time playing the XV demo than the base game before Type-0 HD got lost into the gaming backlog.

Yesterday I start playing Type-0 again for the first time in a year... and more XV stuff happens, which I will almost certainly prioritise ahead of Type-0 once more.

Poor game can't catch a break.
 
A demo of kid Noctis which we knew since January, 30 seconds of blurry footage of said demo and a release date that was all but confirmed before this? As far as I'm concerned, only the Carbuncle confirmation has leaked.
 
I'll still watch cause I'm a fan of Kinda Funny and want to as more polished footage (and hoping for pc or nx announcement lol).
 
Damn this leak but I'll still watch. The demo which unlock Carbuncle is a nice touch, I'm just excited to finally know the date of my next vacation lol.
 
No, because SE talked about a PC version and there was that leak about Steam featuring in their site.

I know, it's just it seems like a lot have people have commented similarly. I'd like a PC version too, but they already said they'd talk about it after any console versions were out...doesn't mean they won't change their mind but given the release date video by GameSpot...perhaps unlikely it's announced tonight.

But according to insiders, this is not a demo, it is a prologue like Ground Zeroes and it is releasing tomorrow. That's incredible.
