Take it from me (as someone who played it at Square UK last week) if he had actually played it with how hot Square is on this shit right now he'd be keeping his mouth shut. Just wait 'til Friday, which is when I believe any Western press who've played it are allowed to talk. It's our date anyway.

Edge and OPM already did big articles on the demo

This game and the new tri-Ace game are the only 2 upcoming games I give a damn about on the consoles nowadays... don't know if I'd pay $60 for AC Complete, hopefully the demo gets uploaded to PSN marketplace.

...Which is probably why the rest of us have a date. Exclusives. Those guys went and played it over in Japan ages ago so they could make press and they actually got to speak to the devs. The event I was at was small, at SE's UK office, and basically just us, the SE reps and a copy of the movie with demo.

more chances of Cloud showing up :p
Lightning's long lost twin!! Since Nomura modeled her after him and all.

I loved Midgar. As long as Cocoon feels unique, I don't mind them reusing the aesthetic.

the guy with the fro?

Yeah I can kind of see it. He is looking down, obviously in introspection, obviously an internal battle is raging behind his cool demeanour

Anyway, looks nothing like FFVII, it has far more of an FFX vibe for obvious reasons...

right I am out of here until I get the demo...this is one game I want experience without the spoil

that's a bad thing?

Everything I've seen about this game makes me think Square is retreading safe ground by evoking FFVII feelings. I'm not part of the audience that was absolutely enthralled by FFVII, so to me this case of déjà-vu provokes no assumptions of familiarity, bur rather of rehash.

All I hope is that FFXIII doesn't seem like FFVII redux at the end of the day.

well, yea, the whole gunblade thing is a retread already. i don't really mind if they reuse certain aspects from the old games. i just hope the story is good and not the typical cliche stuff.

Because they will be re-using these assets for the FFVII remake. I thought that was obvious. :/
 
Is there a chance of anyone passing this along for those of us that don't want to spend $75 for the Blu-ray? I'll get the NA release of AC but I still want to play the demo. If anyone is interested I could start a pass-it-along thread where we just mail it to the next person on the list once we are finished playing it.

Obviously, the mods would need to be on board to enforce perma-banning if somebody was a theiving toolbag. Or, a group of folks could chip in, buy it, and we could pass it around and then sell it off at the end to get the money back?

:lol Touché.

I guess a good analogy would be Ocarina of Time versus Twilight Princess. One is clearly inspired by the other, but it ends up feeling diluted (despite a bit more polished) in the overall atmosphere it gives. TP's most common complaint is that it didn't try to distance itself from OoT. All I fear for is that FFXIII won't get its own identity.


...that post made more sense in my head.

The price seems absolutely absurd but I suppose FF7 AC probably costs at least $40-50 by itself in Japan on BRD so I suppose it's not as bad as it seems.

You play from multiple character perspectives. Kinda like FF6 I'd imagine.

It's in line with DVD prices when the format started just as DVD prices were in line with VHS prices.
