Final Fantasy Type-0 demo on Japanese PSN August 11

by JC Fletcher on Aug 5th 2011 1:30PM

Final Fantasy Type-0 arrives in Japan on October 13, after years and years of waiting -- you might have read about it in history class, under its original name of Final Fantasy Agito XIII. It was first announced as a mobile game in 2006, then officially moved to PSP in 2008, then renamed this year. Now that Square Enix is absolutely certain it's shaken off anyone who might have been paying attention, the publisher is going to release it. In Japan, at least -- no announcements have been made for other territories.

But first, it's planned a demo. Starting August 11, Japanese PSP owners (and anyone with a Japanese PSN account, hint hint) can download the demo, titled "Natsubi," which will both introduce players to the content of the action-RPG and unlock special outfits for use in the final game. Even better, unlike the Dissidia Duodecim demo, this one's free. Even better than that, this one's not called "Prologus."

Surprised it hasn't gone to Vita.

@TheShaper

I imagine they are working on something else for that. i'm hoping for a new FFT game.

So hype.

Also, the demo will be available on the Type-0 official website as well.

@AdmiralEscobar thanks I'll be waiting.

Those girls are ready to fight!

@CaptainProtonX

The one on the left is a guy. I think. Then again, the one on the right could be a girl. Damn you, Nomura!

@CaptainProtonX One of them is a boy i think ..

@Red Runner

That was the joke.

@CaptainProtonX
Sarcasm tags, don't you DARE forgetting them... u.u

@Red Runner thatsthejoke.jpg

...with soundtrack by Type O Negative?

@foxhound In memory of Peter Steele?

@baddates77
It would be nice. -nod-

just testing if I can still comment. I tried to comment like 20 times on a Capcorn post but it seems Capcorn paid off Joystiq to delete anything I write in a Capcorn post

@Trilancer
Joystiq has a weird list of words that set off the comment filter. A few are tied to a few trolls that used to post here, always talking about the same thing. And a few are related to the fashion industry because of all the spam bots. Then of course there's the offensive stuff, but that should be a given.

@Gwenchanteur
Is one of those words "megaman"!

@Gwenchanteur
And sometimes you post something and it just won't appear. You refresh the page a few times and nothing. For this, I created the habit of leaving my comment on the clipboard 'till I can see it. Then after a few attempts, you submit your comment again and BAM! Double post.

@TheShaper
I felt like double posting it as a joke, but nevermind.

This game looks better than the actual Final Fantasy XIII

I miss FF6

@Destati

Ditto

@Destati The best FF ever.

Maybe I'm just out of touch with the gaming community, but I find it hard to even imagine being excited for a new Final Fantasy game anymore, let alone a spinoff.

I've been sucked into Dissidia 012 hardcore lately, and after reading up on this game, I'm praying it makes the leap to the States. Let the PSP sail off into the night on one last big hurrah before the Vita puts it in its grave.

Now we hairy savages get to wait a year for this game to come out over here. Fun stuff.

As long as the camera isn't as jerk-prone as it was in all the leaked footage, it could be alright.

This is my first time seeing CG models of characters. It's kinda weird, after having Nomura's version of them imprinted onto my brain.

This game should have been called Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy Agito Tredecim Prologous

japanese harry potter....
