"First, as Tabata-san said in a recent episode of Square Enix Presents, this demo is exclusive to Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. We're never going to release it as a stand-alone piece down the line. Secondly, it's intended to be a special gift for those of you who purchase early — the demo will be limited to the "Day One" edition of the game, meaning that only the first shipment is going to have the demo in it. So if the demo is something you think you might like, we highly encourage you to pre-order or to be quick about getting to the store on launch day, March 17th, 2015."

In other words, they really, really want you to pre-order the game, and if you don't buy Final Fantasy Type-0 as soon as it comes out, you might never get to play FFXV before it launches in 2099.

[Rats Off To Ya]

Looks like I'm buying it day one.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Hmm day one copies are kind if suspect... I still see day zero cod aw in stores and tons of limited edition of any game anywhere.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

 

[koutoru]

Wait, how does this work for digital purchases?
Does that mean in order to get the demo you have to buy physically?

 

[sappyday]

How much do you think these will go on ebay?

 

[orthodoxy1095]

No surprise there.

 

[theecakee]

I'm usually against pre-ordering, but this seems safe enough to do so.

 

[Blablurn]

A little disappointing

 

[TheAggroCraig]

CoD gets waaaay bigger of a print than this, but it is just a marketing ploy to push more sales on release. Though I'm sure you could find day one copies of this for a little while.

 

[Anko]

In other words, those first press editions the Japanese love so much.

It's a common practice in Japan. First press editions often carry additional content, be it for anime or games. Didn't they do something similar for FFXIII?

 

[~Kinggi~]

i swear to god this motherfucker knew exactly what he was doing this stupid fuck

 

[Inuhanyou]

Ugh...what a big fuck you to your audience. No thanks. I'll wait for Type 0 to go down in price and buy the whole version of FF15 instead of this terrible deal. Your not going to force me to preorder

 

[Curufinwe]

Fantastic.

 

[EightBitNate]

Such a lie

 

[CorySchmitz]

Is this the day-one edition...?

 

[JoeyJungle]

Good question. Maybe you it gets added to your account if you pre-order/purchase within a certain timeframe?

 

[nelchaar]

This company, man.

 

[Sage00]

Seems fair? Don't really have an issue with this.

 

[Remark]

lol 2099

 

[Christhor]

Is this the day-one edition...?

It should come with every copy that gets pre-ordered.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Square is on fire

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Scummy, but only as scummy as most publishers act, so nothing too damning, really.

Basically what I expected, anyway.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

WTF i don't buy disc anymore so how i suppose to get this demo.

 

[CorySchmitz]

It should come with every copy that gets pre-ordered.

Maybe I'll just wait for one that explicitly says "Day One Edition" before I preorder.

 

[Vamphuntr]

It seems like a good way to sell a shoddy HD port of a terribly average game.

 

[Aeana]

Not sure why a first press bonus is such a big deal. Maybe I'm just used to them because they're super common with Japanese games. I've had Type-0 HD preordered since September, anyway.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

What the hell Square....

 

[Lumpy Onion]

It seems like a good way to sell a shoddy HD port of a terribly average game.

I thought it was an awesome game to be honest. I liked it more than any of the FF XIII stuff and I really enjoyed those games. To each their own though.

 

[Exploratory]

And most people will eat that right the hell up.

 

[Christhor]

This. I always get dissapointed if pre-ordering doesn't give you some kind of bonus.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

So much lame... I don't want to pay $60 for it. If it's really good, then I may go get right as it releases and then get a code that way... but yeah...

 

[bananafactory]

That's what I wanna know too.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

Square Enix knows how to make money

Guess I would watch playthrough on Youtube instead

 

[Supermanisdead]

not surprising. anything to get those day 1 sales of a 60$ psp hd remake, right square?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

All good, was getting day one anyway.

 

[hipsterpants]

I don't really see the problem with this. If you want the demo, you get it day one. Was probably going to get this on release anyway but I just went and pre-ordered.

 

[Pandacon]

I was planning to get the digital version of Type-0, I wonder if that'll include the demo...

 

[Zeyphersan]

So apparently I'm buying Type-0 before I might have a PS4?

 

[dragonzdogma]

I don't even know what to do anymore, I am getting it from all over the place.
I tell you that squarenix is not responsible for any loss or liability to the public and private organizations that have to go out of their respective owners.

Type-0 is system seller confirmed

 

[jwk94]

Relax, you'll probably get it for pre-ordering digitally.

 

[hwateber]

Type 0 to sell gangbusters

 

[LouisaFerre]

Oh, so it's a gift? I'm supposed to pay $60 for a 2011 PSP game with updated visuals and the only thing that made that anywhere near viable is now some kind of favor reserved for people who drop that money on or before release? That's just great.

 

[JayEH]

Lol I have seen this pic/gif at least 5 times each day for the past couple of days.



Anyway, doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Good way for them to sell extra copies and reward people who have the game pre ordered. This is the right type of pre order bonus when you think about it since it doesn't take anything away from the game.

 

[Anth0ny]

I have it pre-ordered, so I'm assuming I should be good.

 

[Fdkn]

Day 1 shipment will last a long time anyway.

Yeah I don't think this is a big deal either. Pretty sure the Sly 4 demo was only included with first-run copies of Ratchet HD Collection too.
