No, You Cannot Party Demo Final Fantasy XIII (Only Watch!)

via Kotaku


On August 2nd and August 3rd, Square Enix is holding a "private party" with the utterly ridiculous name DKΣ3713 that will be limited to only 2,400 attendees, picked by raffle through the Japanese Square Enix Members website.. It will showcase Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games. And just like we thought, Final Fantasy XIII will not be playable. Hit the jump for the full rundown of what will be there and what form it will be in. Bring on the disappointments!

Best part? Knowing how Square Enix rolls, photograph of the demo trailers will be strictly prohibited, and the trailers for the big titles will mostly likely be shown in "closed theaters." So! If you want to see them, be prepared to wait in line for like an hour. Make sure you bring your memory cap so you don't forget the experience! Does Square Enix know how to party or does Square Enix know how to party.

I bet when FF XIII actually does come out, it will set the bar so high that it will be awe-inspiring....maybe even life-changing.
I say, take your time guys. But, I hope that the footage it actual game-play footage, and not cut-scenes.

Not unless they get back to basics and create a traditional RPG, not some stupid real-time strategy RPG they've been making as of late...

Most likely we won't see these trailers unless they are leaked. If Square is showing new stuff they could at least publicly release the older trailers we haven't seen... Here's hoping that at least Sony will have something to show at their E3 press conference...

SnipR is right. Unless they get back to their roots (turn-based battle system) this game is probably going to turn out like FF12(which was good, just not "Final Fantasy" good.)
