just one game as example eternal sonata to counter that.

it have a XBL Demo before release a year before, and the ps3 got it demo when the port was going to happen.

which it's the same that it's happening here just to different regions. but in contrast in have release dates really far from each other.

and if you say was because eternal sonata port was announce later for the ps3 it's the same for FF13 this time.

if PS3 demo Advent children american version it's done why not to release it?

 

Did you just try to prove my point, or are you arguing it? All I saw from your post was that the Eternal Sonata demo was timed to match the pre-release of each version of the game, which is exactly what I was saying. FF XIII is coming out in Japan on PS3 this Christmas(supposedly). So the PS3 in Japan is getting a demo. The game is coming out on the PS3 and Xbox 360 much, much later than that, so the demo is not coming over here yet and will likely come within an appropriate amount of time before the game's release in the West. Thank you for clarifying that with your Eternal Sonata example. I couldn't have said it better myself.

There's also no reason to think the american version of the PS3 demo is done either. If they have no intentions on selling it with Advent Children, then why would they bother localizing it? From Square's own mouth, they stated localization would begin simultaneously with the Xbox 360 port, meaning not until the game goes gold in Japan.
