Onyxmeth, stop wasting your time. I've gone back and forth with these Sony fanboys on this subject several times. They are incapable of understanding logic and blame MS no matter what. I've been saying for months that its 6 months on average for FF games to hit the US and about 11 months for them to hit Europe. Kitase confirms this and do they eat crow nope, they still find more BS reasons to blame MS. As you so deftly stated, the demo is in Japanese and would require localization.

To you also, what part of KITSASE'S OWN WORDS don't you understand:

"Because we are going to carry on the project along the 360 version, so we really can't make it available only for the PS3"

That has nothing to do with eating crow, that has nothing to do with "not understanding logic". He said it right there. In a nutshell "An American PS3 demo will not come with FFVII:ACC because the 360 version isn't even close to done, so we want to be fair. Although the PS3 version has already been done, and all we need is an hour of voiceover (which by the same interview, they're doing localization at the same time as developing the Japanese version), we aren't going to release it stateside, because again, the 360 version isn't done"

They released TLR when the PS3 version wasn't done......why won't they give us a demo and then later on, the full game BEFORE 360 owners (because it'll certainly be done before then)? Answer: Blame M$

 

No one is denying what was said. I fully agree that the scenario is as you describe it. However, that is Square's choice to make(being "fair" to 360 owners), thus making it their fault for making that choice. Microsoft as far as any of us know is uninvolved in the decision to release or not release this demo in NTSC/PAL regions. Them being uninvolved, and Square having a choice makes it hard to put the blame on MS in the first place and very easy to put the blame on the actual decision makers at Square.

Now you'll then come back and tell me, "but if the 360 wasn't getting a port, then this wouldn't have been a problem". That is very true, however it's also Square's fault for deciding to make it multiplatform in the first place. Square CHOSE to do that. There were no Microsoft guns held to Square executives' heads to force this scenario.

You (and others in this thread) remind me of the politicians and parents that blame videogames for the violent murders that children commit every year. Yeah let's blame the videogames(MS) instead of blaming the nutcase kid(Square Enix) that pulled the trigger/hung somebody/cut someone's head off. It's called scapegoating, and that's what MS is in this case.

 

I'm over that. What I'm asking for at least is the TLR treatment. One version isn't done yet, but the one that is done gets released despite the former. But that's not gonna happen, and the only reason has something to do with Microsoft
