Nice, is 358/2 only releasing Japan only in winter 2008, or is there a chance of a simultaneous release?

Are you kidding?  No way. It hasn't even been annouced to come to America. When it does, expect it to be anywhere 4-7 months after the Japanese release.

yes, the demo only on ps3 shows that SE is still more on the side of sony in the FF13 issue :)

(we dont know for sure if that will be the case by the time it releases though)

Hopefully they announce something that actually affects me in some way in the rest of the event. PSP is looking tempting though.

Any clues if the FFXIII demo will be coming to the West?

Those announcements are for the release in Japan only.

It shouldn't take too long for SE to localize (adding subtitle) Advent Children Complete for the western release.  The tricky part is their deal with M$.  M$ will flip out if SE release the blue-ray version of FFXIII demo in NA and Europe

SE has so many DS games need to be localized for western release. I doubt if it will be worldwide simultaneous release.

Dissidia better be good...

After Dirge of Cerberus mediocrity I expect everything from this company in terms of non rpg games.

SE is on the side of money.  Bundle FFXIII demo with Advent Children Complete is win-win for them.  It would be stupid if they don't do it because the majority of BD players in the world is PS3.

I believe they initiated the development of PSP version of FF Agito XIII after seeing the huge success of Monster Hunter Portable on PSP.  Don't be surprised if this game is all about ad hoc co-up.

if they're purely on the side of money, they'd put the demo on the 360 in the west as well.

Depend on their terms with M$.

Do you think Xbox360 owners will purchase a Blu-ray Advent Children Complete just for the FFXIII demo?

Where are they going to play the main part of that purchase, i.e. "Blu-ray disc"?

Most importantly, will M$ let SE do that?  That's like ?? million dollars goes down to the drain.

forget the blu ray then. yknow, just put a dvd demo on the 360. it'll spike 360 sales.

seriously, how many people will really buy this pack if the demo wasn't included in it? the people who wanted advent children already have copies of it for sure.

its all about the demo.
