Its a freakin demo...nobody should care this much for a demo no matter how good the game is.

yeah... its not especulation anymore kitasate pretty much confirmed not ps3 demo even if done,because it would be unfair for the xbox owners.

like i care for them >_> a port is a port, we are getting tales of vesperia late.

That's just as stupid as saying if I got in a wreck at a stoplight because it turned yellow and I slowed down but the person behind me sped up it's the stop lights fault.

There is not a demo in the West because they either just didn't allot for the time or something more important came up.

they have it for the ps3, they can release it now if they want, but they won't because it will be unfair for 360 owners...

I don't know what about this concept he doesn't understand......

Im also going to say translation has to factor into this, moving the thing to english takes time, yes a demo would takes less time, but still. and also see the word partly......    this implies multiple factors only some of which is the 360 build no guarantee it would be out if there was not a 360 version.    given squares history I doubt there would have been a western demo 

He's saying they didn't allot for the time to port it to 360 also. Is there any real excuse why Square couldn't do something so simple? Also as far as I know the demo isn't ready on the PS3 either. It requires a translation, which means the american and the many different european voice overs would have to record their voices for this demo. It's not like they would release it as is.

this, 

And again, it is because of

1. They did not allow time to make the demo for the 360, or
2. Something more important came up, or
3. could be due to localization, or
4. could be any one of 100 issues that Microsoft didn't cause

Microsoft didn't storm into SE and demand that they not release a demo.  Squaresoft chose not to make the demo available to the west because they just didn't plan well enough, didn't have the time, or have more important things to do.  It's not that hard to understand.

Sure, perhaps if it wasn't coming to the 360 we might even have the game by now (though I don't believe that) but hey, maybe if Sony had trippled their budget and added more people to their team maybe we would have it even sooner.  I blame Sony.

Seeing how upset people are upset about this though, it seems strange Square-Enix would opt not to release a relatively short demo to persuade more Final Fantasy fans out of $50-$60.

Like, I would pay maybe $1 for a demo if a Costco wasn't around.
