Famitsu reports that the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII demo will have length of more than 2 hours. Please note that this number is longer than the bundled Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete movie (101 minutes+). The bundle will be released in March 2009.
Here are some other information revealed in Famitsu:
Final Fantasy XIII demo will be based from the opening part of the game.
The demo will come on a separate disc rather than on the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete Blu-ray.
Mr. 33CM’s (The guy who rides the motorbike) real name is based off of weather as well.
One of the female characters, referred to as ‘Pigtails Girl’ (The cute looking girl in the trailer, you know?), has been through some tough times.
In other news, what’s likely a preview of things to come, a new advertising campaign from Sony over in Japan features what appears to be the beginnings of a promotional push for Final Fantasy XIII.
A major train station in Tokyo’s Shibuya Ward features a series of posters promoting the PlayStation 3. The posters features characters like Sackboy, Solid Snake, the giant white knight from White Knight Chronicles, and, most notably, Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII.
Text in front of the FFXIII heroine says “The Courage to Pursue the Truth.”
While not strictly a Final Fantasy XIII ad, this is the first time we’ve seen Sony use FFXIII to promote the PS3 over in Japan. Expect a lot more of that next year as the game’s March demo approaches.
The ads also feature real people presumably showing off how cool it is to have a PS3.
