Final Fantasy XIII producer looking into downloadable demo for the West

[Dohc-WP]

Square Enix producer Yoshinore Kitase has told VideoGamer.com that Square Enix has "no plan" to release a disc-based demo for Final Fantasy XIII in the States. The demo, bundled with certain copies of the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, thrust PS3 to the top of the Japanese sales charts, and became the best-selling anime Blu-ray in Japan. While including a demo with the upcoming US release of the movie seems like a no-brainer, Kitase explained that a PS3-exclusive demo would be unfair to the Western audience that's also expecting an Xbox 360 demo. "We are going to carry on with the project alongside the Xbox version, so we really can't just make it available only for the PS3," he explained.

Kitase then noted that the company "would like to check" on the possibility of a downloadable demo. We're certain the logistics behind delivering a 5GB demo to the PSN/XBL masses will be quite difficult to figure out.

OMW a 5Gb demo! I wonder how big the actually game is?

Doesn't M$ restrict download limit sizes?
UT3 couldn't even get the Titan Pack which is 1. something GB.
My guess it won't happen unless its a really short demo

My bad! Then the file must be bigger than that, classic titles aren't the same as current gen titles. The policy in place didn't allow the update for UT3 to be available for Xbox360 version. Must be for updates only, but wait, isnt there a limit to game size on XBLA? I remember an issue with Bionic Commando

No they had to remove the limitations when sf 2 HD was released on the console !

Xbox Live Arcade File Size Limit Depends on the Quality of the GameThe 250 MB limit is just a guide
