Dissidia Duodecim demo dated for Europe

Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy, the most pompously-named demo in history, is available on PSN in North America this week. If you're in Europe and worried about when you'll be able to obtain something called "Prologus" yourself, don't fret. The €2.99 demo will arrive in PAL territories on March 23, Square Enix announced.

That gives you two days to build up lots of in-game potions and other items for use in the full version, at which point you'll get to stop playing "Prologus" and, for the first and last time in your life, think the title of the full PSP game is sensible. At least in comparison.

$3 Dissidia Duodecim 'Prologus' demo strikes North American PSN March 15

JC Fletcher — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 11:45:00 EST

We see every news item related to the Dissidia sequel as another forced exposure to the game's name "Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy." The trauma is even worse when the news is about the demo, "Dissidia duodecim prologus Final Fantasy." We're considering filing a worker's comp claim for having to type that.

Square Enix has announced that said demo will arrive on the North American PlayStation Network on March 15, a week in advance of the retail release of the full game. Like in Japan, you have to pay for it ($2.99). At least you get an unlockable Aerith Assist Character in the full game for doing so, and you can carry items into the full game. The demo also contains a "unique" scenario starring Lightning.

But that name.

Dissidia Duodecim demo unlocks Aerith assistant in full game

Square Enix has announced an interesting promotional initiative for its upcoming PSP fighter, Dissidia 012 [Duodecim] Final Fantasy. As of today, Japanese PSP owners will be able to purchase and download a demo of the game for 300 Yen ($3.64). Dubbed (sigh) Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy, the short scenario will not feature Aerith, but will unlock the ill-fated sweetheart as an assistant character (i.e. not directly controllable) in the full game when it debuts in March.

By the way, that sigh wasn't ours -- it was Square Enix realizing how much money it could have made had it charged us all $3 to bring Aerith back to life in 1997. She was wearing all the good bangles!

In other Dissidia news, Square Enix revealed two more playable fighters during its 1st Production Department event this morning. The game will feature Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy V, as well as Prishe from Final Fantasy XI.
