I just told you, FFVII ACC was their ticket to charge for it. You do know that the demo was not sold seperately at all, but with that movie, right? I am positive some of the cost of the movie came from the demo. The same could be done with the american release(which isnt far off). Kitase just said it, in the OP, that they have already started the text and voice translations. The Demo is not even that long, And I am positive it is towards the beginning of the game. Shouldn't that part of the translation be done already?

And in other threads many tryed to argue that it was an  impossibility for the 360 release to be what stunted the Demo's release in america, now the story has changed to "its only one of many reasons". Not saying you were one of the people saying that, just putting it out there. I dont believe there was much else besides the 360(as said in the above paragraph).

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$

I understand his words perfectly. He says they've begun some of the text localization process already. They've started to record English voices. What about his words don't you understand. I also like how you conveniently skipped over the part about the localization time for Final Fantasy titles. Sony fanboys have essentially been saying that FFXIII would have singular worldwide release date if it were PS3 only for months, despite available evidence to the contrary. Sony fanboys also would have us believe that Japanese companies release untranslated demos to the rest of the world all time. Neither of which is true, which is the reason I told Onyxmeth he was wasting his time dealing with you and the rest of your ilk.

@SlumsofOhio

You would think that's Square Enix's fault, but I'm sure on of our resident Sony fanboys will somehow blame Kitase's ignorance of downloadable demo's on Microsoft as well.

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

A 5 GB demo? Thats bullshit. No Demo should be that large and after Sony's recent conference on Gamespot.com, Gamespot employees played the Japanese demo. Trust me....they can pump out a demo....SE are just bullshitting.
