Except...it is explained in the game.
He is. He has
a whole main quest line devoted to him
edit: very minor spoiler tagged just in case.
On youtube someone's already posting the english full game. Man I love that part after the DEMO in the historia crux, so touching. Poor Lightning-sama

Erm...what? What costumes are you talking about? There is only one costume you can unlock from the demo. That is Siegfried Garb.
You get the Siegfried garb by uploading your score for beating the demo boss, but (at least on PSN) you also get an Utsusemi Samurai costume when you d/l the demo.
Americans get 2 costumes, one for completing the demo and posting the screen on twitter or facebook, and one for actually downloading (or just playing?) the demo.
Europeons only get one for the posting part. Yeah, screw you too SE.
Excellent! Didn't get enough of him in XIII-2!
I feel like a lot of people who are confused by 13 and 13-2's story didn't pay very close attention in general. It's fairly straightforward if you're watching and absorbing everything.
Idk about that....

That's pretty much it right there, whenever Toriyama is sent to do something else and a hopefully much more competent director with an eye for good designs (not gaudy paris runway outfits draping the trope characters he's created) that do justice to Final Fantasy as a franchise ; Square Enix is going to be kick themselves when they see the renewed interest.

Not a big deal as I assume Utsusemi Samurai garb will be available on PSN eventually but what is more worse is that European do not get a physical release of Drakengard 3. Not even a Collector's Edition. Just digital release.

What costumes do you get?

Utsusemi Samurai and Siegfried Grab.
I'm sure LR:FFXIII is a pile of steaming dogshit and BD will be the best FF released this year.
You know, as long as we're stating our opinions as objective facts.

And you get that for completing the demo?
Fuck. I'm now gonna have to download the demo.

Yes. But you need to submit your score. Oh and you will not receive any notification that you unlocked the garb. You can check with the full game.

It took a minute and some change to kill the demo boss and I five starred it.
I don't know why, i wasn't particularly good.

I am going to start FFXIII-2 for the first time now, anything I should know before starting?

Yes. It's very strange.
It's very easy to overlevel and make the game sort of boring towards the end. Don't grind too much.
Also, Noel is awesome.

Think they'll have a way to get Siegfried outside the demo?
I'm liking some of the Samurai garb.

You should definitely play XIII-2. It is an amazing game.
Yoshinori Kitase said in this video you will enjoy it even if you have not played the previous games.
You need the full game to unlock the costume. It is that simple.
wooooooow!
Yeah, the combat system is fucking awesome. To say the least.
Disagree. FF13-2 sets up Lightning Returns in a big way.

That video makes the combat look so fun...just a tragedy about that story.

I'll be late to this party even though it shipped early. Ordered the CE from digital shitver and it's definitely going to take a month to get to Canada
Ahaha well...

Man this game really did get an unnecessary amount of trailers and marketing. At least the nightmare will soon be over.
Also very much looking forward to winning my avatar bet with Perfo. :3
Pretty much in the bag now.
Also the game would've been received better had they let this kid write the story.

And thus as four years of FFXIII are about to draw to an end, let us take a moment's silence to commemorate the laughs, the tears, the flame wars, the beauty of roses, the Perfo-isms, the worst birthdays ever and the tough moms.

What I meant was: If I avoid the demo, am I still able to get Siegfried any other way?
CrimsonCrescendo

Yeah, that really wasn't a smart bet to make.
Looking at the scores now:
Game informer - 2.25 points lower than XIII; 1 point lower than XIII-2.
Gamekult - 1 point lower than XIII-2
OXM - 2 points lower than XIII; 1 point lower than XIII-2
GamesTM - 1 point lower than XIII and XIII-2
Unfortunately, no. Square-Enix has stated that Siegfried is only available by completing [and submitting your score] for defeating the final boss of the demo. You don't need to submit it to Twitter/Facebook, simply submitting the score is enough.
Also, thanks for the OT, Kagari. I'm not expecting brilliance [that's an understatement], but I'm still interested in trying this one out for myself. My CE should [hopefully] arrive sometime next week.
And those guys are typically on the high end.

Gamespot will give it a 4/5, I'm sure. They are pretty harsh with scores.
