Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has hinted that gamers might be able to get their mitts on a playable demo of the hotly anticipated RPG at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.
Speaking with Dengeki, Kitase said that Square are hoping to have a playable demo of the game out prior to FFXIII’s Japanese PlayStation 3 release this winter, with September’s Tokyo Game Show being the only viable option.
“Well, because we’re aiming for a winter release date, we’d like to have users play the game before then,” he said, adding, “Timing-wise, since there’s only TGS, we’d definitely like to shoot for that.”
Industry reports indicate that the PS3 version of the title is roughly 90 percent complete. A demo of the game was previously included in the Japanese release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children earlier this year.
Final Fantasy XIII will be released in western territories next spring.
