Wow, so after writing yesterday about how we'd never get a FFXIII demo, today I read about how a Final Fantasy XIII demo could possibly happen! And if by chance (miracle) it does, it could be a totally new demo! No second hand demo for us folks!
Maybe.
Now I would almost be thrilled by this news, if it weren't for the fact that that there are just a few too many maybes in there. Actually now that I think about it, what is the point of telling people "Oh, maybe we'll release a demo someday before the game is released. Oh and we still aren't going to tell you when that is. The release date for the game or if we'll get a demo out there. But hey! Look on the bright side... if we release the demo before the game's release date which we won't confirm, it'll be a new demo!"
What the hell?
But then again, I guess all of this really shouldn't be a surprise at all by now. I mean when did us folks in the states ever get any love from Japan? Hell, they got their demo with Advent Children Complete. What did we get? Not a fucking thing!
Which surprises me in that regard, because I would have thought that after all of these years, I don't know... Maybe we'd get a little something more by now? Oh yes, that wouldn't be fair to their Japanese fans. Meh. Then they would turn around and release the same stuff for them, plus another truck load of extras. I guess we'll always lose that one huh?
It is a frustrating thing, as it kind of always has been, to be a fan of a company and of people who only take care of their own. And I kind of see this mentality even in the place that I work too. Its like saying "Well, we love all of our fans! But we like these guys better, because... you know, their our people."
I think the word of the day is...
Frustration.

Yeah, way too many maybes. Honestly, though, makes no difference to me. I'll be buying that game no matter what. I really enjoyed the first demo, although I understand they've changed the gameplay considerably since the release of that.
Personally, I'm still cranky that they aren't leaving us the Japanese language track. While Square Enix usually does a better than average job with their dubbing, I still prefer Japanese voice acting. That being the case, I'll be buying both the Japanese and the American release.
