More characters in FFXIII Demo

[Labtec]

"As well as revealing a new character in the latest edition of V-Jump Magazine, they also subtly mentioned some information about the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII demo, which is scheduled to ship with Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete.

It turns out that Sazh Katzroy (http://www.finalfantasyunion.com/characters/sazh-katzroy.html)'s announcement is just the start, as Square Enix start to drum up interest in Final Fantasy XIII. The Final Fantasy XIII demo is said to unveil a few new protagonists into the mix, although it's unsure whether they will actually be playable in the demo. There's also no word if any of the antagonists will be named, but fingers crossed."

It's obvious that the demo will be featuring that train scene that is show during Jump Festa 09 Trailer. So if you look at the trailers descriptions you would know that there are still some characters unknown.

1) Woman with brown long hair (Re FF trailer -from back-)
2) Pony tailed man (TGS08 trailer -Leader of cocoon army)
3) Asian Woman (JF09)
4) Other Black Character (JF09)
5) Goggles Boy (JF09)

5 to go in 3 months.
I think it won't be all main characters.

If she has brown hair, I must be colour blind. :wtf:

Where did Union get that from?

I assume there were no scans... T__T; I thought I read all of V-jump and can't remember more new characters being mentioned.. maybe I mistranslated?

N4g just sites union as a source, so that's..

EDIT: Long haired woman's hair is browny blondish? I'd call it blond though. XD

[Jaggerjack]

Well I hope there`s more characters to be used in the demo aside from lightning, snow and sera and saczt (i dont know his name is sorry.)


And that we can see some antagonist (probably de blonde lady from the army?)

[Sabin]

It would be nice to see all the characters. Maybe there will be two different scenarios? One with Lightning, Vanille and Snow. Another one with Sazh, Lightning and someone else.

Like they did with the FFXII demo.

[pseudocognition]

Finally! The publicity timeline speeds up! *does a little dance*

[sobchack]

the real antagonist will probably turn out to be a witch from the future revealing herself in the last quarter of the game anyway

[Adam Blade]

It's kinda obvious their will be more characters because Sazh is suppose to be only their for the first half of the demo... or plays an important role for the first half.

I'd rather just get a solid release date on ACC/FFXIII demo instead... :U

*Crossing fingers* :P

Than just revealing new characters? yeah.

[Neophoton]

Than just revealing new characters? yeah.

Indeed. I'd like to put a pre-order down already. D: I can find out about the new characters while playing the demo. To be fair, though, these scans do give details about the characters...

[Adam Blade]

^Yeah. I'm surprised that they haven't given us a release date... At least we get new screens with it.

[Neophoton]

Yeah, I guess there is some benefit to this anyways. I'm still stuck on why a solid release date hasn't been given yet, considering March is right around the corner.

[DarkWan]

^ My doubts are rising slightly of a sudden delay for ACC !!

Well, I hope they just want to see an appropraite
day for the release date.

I'm sorry that this isn't really about this topic, but I want to buy some things from Amazon.co.jp like the demo when the pre order is available, but I can't log in with my European Account. The FFXIII demo will be only available from Amazon.co.jp. What do I need to do???

You have to make an individual account for AmazonJP. It's pretty easy, just think of it like making an account on any other Amazon site, but if you need any more details to help, I can PM you if so.

It'll also likely be up for grabs on Play-Asia.com and YesAsia, by the way.

[Oldrich]

SE won't give us date 'cause theyre so badasses :( And they like to laugh when people is suffering :(


Am I freaked out?

[BlankChocobo]

Don't we quite often have visible enemy with which player's party has emotional/familial ties, and then near the end of the game is revealed to have been manipulated all along by some darker, more monstrous force/person/monster-like-thing? Edea/Ultimacea is definitely not the only. XD

It's kinda obvious their will be more characters because Sazh is suppose to be only their for the first half of the demo... or plays an important role for the first half.

I forgot about that implication of "first half".. it could very well mean that our party changes entirely for the "second half,' or it could just mean that Sazh is somehow the lead member in the first half, and then drops into the party background past a certain point.

[serpent]

i hope there will not be more than 6-8 playable char. If there more then its in my opinion too much.

Thank You! Play-Asia is a lot better for me because it's in English and has € conversion and good descriptions! I'm going to order a few Japanese Magazines to test it out.:)

[jqloud]

Too much indeed.
