Final Fantasy Type-0 HD coming on March 17 2015. Download code for FFXV demo included

Really wasn't expecting to get a PS4 till around 2016 but I might just have to pick up a black friday bundle this year. Damn, Sony and S-E going to be hurting my wallet, and I won't even be mad.

We're most likely getting gameplay footage from the demo at TGS, right?

RIGHT????JDRIKKKKKKKdfsddddswwwwwwryyyyyyyyyyyy
 
You don't need to hope. Knowing Square Enix there will be the original soundtrack, an outtakes album, a remix album, and a piano collections. And then will come the sequels.
That's true, since FFX HD and LR:FFXIII had CE's on their store. SE will be taking all of my money and it will be worth it.. I hope.

Yeah, I was going to wait around new years, but black Friday sounds more reasonable as for as sales go.

Is this a dream or reality?
a fantasy based in reality.

Final Fantasy XV: Ground Zeroes
lol

Fucking finally.
FFXV releasing holiday 2015 then.
Knowing tendencies of Square to fuck up, they will probably launch in Japan first, with rest of the world getting the game in Q1 2016.


A representative from Square Enix could not confirm that the demo will be available the exact same day as Type-0 HD, but it will be coming to both PS4 and Xbox One when it does release.
I can already see this being the same deal as Doom 4 alpha giveaway for Wolfenstein:TNO preorders. 2 year wait.

It's a paid digital demo. You get a free voucher for it if you buy one of their remasters, implying you are expected to pay for it one way or the other.
It's a bonus for people buying one of their games. It's not a paid demo unless they release it separately on PSN & XBLA and make people pay for it.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

March is too soon, and really close to Monster Hunter 4 and the New 3DS.

I guess I won't be playing Type 0 at launch. Sony where is the PS4 price cut? :'(

Meh, I'm not buying Type-0 again for a demo even though I've been waiting so many years for XV. We'll see if Square actually have any news for XV at TGS apart from this soon enough, at least I can be sure we'll get dat Shimomura OST for sure now.
 
I have been so thoroughly conditioned for incompetence by this company that I will literally believe there is a demo when Type-0 comes out. Until then, I'll please be excited.

Well it seems to imply that they will sell the demo outside of ff type o.
 
Paid demo or not, I am happy to see a date for Type 0 and some news regarding XV. I think the inclusion of a demo with this game will help to make it more effective as a means of converting more of their audience to current gen. This move is refreshingly logical for a company that has by their own admission severely harmed their main franchise.
 
Awesome news! Early 2015 might be the perfect time to buy ps4 with so many (possibly) great games during that time. Early/mid 2016 release is plausible now?

Now: OMG OMG HYPE HYPE HYPE ZOMG NO WAYYYYYY!!!!

Then: Meh, it wasn't very good. They can't ever do anything. Why do I fall for it every time?

Seriously, why? WHY? I don't understand hypers.

See if they don't.
And what would make you think the would? There's no presedence in their past to make such silly pessimistic comments. FFXIII-2, Lightning Returns, KHDDD,Theatrhythms, Type-0's PSP version and whatnot have had free demos so there's really nothing in their past that would point out to them trying to make people pay for just a demo. Bravey Default even had one of the largest demos I've ever played. Dissidia 012 had that Prologus thing, but IIRC that actually had a scenario that wasn't a part of the actual game.

It being included with Type-0 HD will probably be as far as they'll go with trying to make a bit of money out of a FFXV demo, as they know that a thing like FFXV demo will help sell Type-0 HD as well.

The "then" part of your post hasn't been shown to be true yet. The game has been in development long enough that I fully expect the things they show today and the demo to be great. The question marks will be on the final product as a whole.

I'm not sure whether the excitement for this demo is because it means that the project is coming along or because people get to experience something in the meantime. Demos do nothing for me, especially since they can change so much, I just prefer to wait for the final product.

Some players will be able to get Episode Duscae for free thanks to a voucher included with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which releases on March 17 in North America.

The logical implication of this statement is that the demo will not be free for other players. You could certainly choose to ignore this phrasing and assume that they included the word "some" without thinking about it, but that seems a bit unlikely. Maybe not 100% though?

All of you rejoicing... like Squeenix is redeemed through this bullshit of a deal after 8 years of wait (around 9 years by the time the demo is out).

Well, if the game is good then that's what really matters so whatever

Both

FFXV will finally be playable, having a demo likely means the game is on track, plus there's the extra bonus of Type 0 having a date.

what the fuck are you are saying? this post made almost negative sense. you went past the zero on the number line, in terms of making sense. reevaluate your priorities if you are going to come in a thread to ruin an amazing time for so many people with unsubstantiated bullshit.

Both.
 
And what would make you think the would?
The wording of the announcement, which I linked in my previous post. We can both go on thinking whatever and one of us will probably end up right, but the wording of that announcement strongly suggests there will be a paid demo.

I'm having flashbacks to e3 2013 right now where people were sure FFXV and KH3 were PS4 exclusives because they didn't pay attention to the language of the announcements.

But we'll see.

unsubstantiated? bullshit?

He just restated what's written in the OP. It's exactly that, Square Enix repaying its devoted fans, who've been waiting for 8+ years, with a paid demo.
