DjMizuhara is on fire today with the demo of Final Fantasy XIII, and already sent us a big image gallery, along with 2 HD videos. And more to come!
Update 4: DjMizuhara forgot to upload the end of the part of the demo with Lightning. It's now fixed!

it is coming to 360, but this is a demo, a demo that came with advent children on blu-ray. plus FF13 is ps3 exclusive in japan anyway. or at least it was the last time i checked.

Hands down the best looking JRPG of this generation.

Love what I see.

I wished I liked turn based, the production values on this look through the roof!

As for graphics compared to Star Ocean, I think FF looks considerably better.

I'll admit, the backdrops are better in FFXIII (probably more to do with the art style than the actual graphics) but the charater models look better in Star Ocean and the lighting is far better.

Looks pretty dated in terms of gameplay, would've liked it like eternal sonata. Whatever, don't care for FF games, and this game doesn't change that.

The demo is 5GB in size. So unless Square packages it with something (Last Remnant PS3 or Advent Children Complete) we'll never see it in the States.

i'd be impressed if they did that, seeing as it is only on a sub-HD platform (PSP)

I like the battle camera, much more dynamic, gives the illusion that it's more fast-paced than it actually is.

Looks great. Some of the responses here utterly baffle me, but then I guess I don't expect everyone to really have any artistic appreciation above knowing which post processing effects are present.

Bear in mind the anticipated size of the game, quality of cutscenes/direction, variety, they type of game it is and content... which, in the case of many posts here, seems to have passed a few people by.

It does not. The movie is region A, which includes the US, but sadly does not include Europe.

Well, but why can´t we find any region-symbol on the cover? Shouldn´t be there an "A" when it´s Region A?

Seems the servers are really getting hammered, even the torrents are slow as hell. Got the first 2 parts earlier at around 1meg a sec each, now its lucky if the rest of the parts hit 50k, half the internet must be grabbin these vids.

Its a shame AC aint region free, I had been tempted to import it, but it would be of no use to me. It's june or july before its "worldwide" release, hate waiting for these things, especially when you know someone else is sitting enjoying it right now.

Region A includes Japan, North and South America. As Advent Children Complete is a Japanese release, it obviously falls under Region A.

@jackdoe
That´s not the point.

Look over here for example:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00111YM60/...

It´s called Region 1 (A), too. But as it is listed here: http://bluray.liesinc.net/

...it´s region free.

And you can find a lot of other examples...so the country the movie is coming from doesn´t necessarily mean that it´s region coded...

I think we´ll have to wait until Europeans get their versions...
