Speaking in an interview with Famitsu magazine, Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has divulged new details on the upcoming playable demo of FFXIII along with Square Enix’s plans for the year ahead.
According to Kitase, Square Enix is hopeful that the PlayStation 3 will gather more ground in hardware sales and attach rate, with the announcement of the Final Fantasy XIII demo a key factor in driving sales of the platform.
In addition, the demo will help entice players to the PS3, allowing them to explore "the basics" and check out the new battle system.
Japanese gamers will be able to pick up their copy of the FFXIII demo alongside the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete in April.
