Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Demo

6748_10151408944647653_1617379871_n 14th February 2014 sees the end of the Final Fantasy XIII saga with the release of Lightning Returns. For those who are still sitting on the fence with the game, a demo has been released for you to get to grips with the new game.

We are making an educated guess that we’re getting to trial the opening ‘getting to know you’ section of the game, introducing you to the controls but also giving you 6 pre-made outfits which you then get to have a bash at customising (we recommend ‘deleting’ the existing one once you’ve had a few play through so that you’re not being presented with issues of already being attached to another.

It also gives an idea of how the Outerworld comes into the game (although we admit that all we were seeing were screenshots, it also looks like you might be able to send other items thorough it to to help you on your quest). There is an Outerworld app via facebook, which at the moment stores scores & photos that you’ve shared from the game. Again, this may be something that comes into it’s own once the full game is released.

Once you’ve beaten the main beastie, it says the demo runs to 6am….we’re not sure what that entirely means, so maybe a demo where you’ve to undertake a side-quest to add more time might have been an idea. Or maybe it’s just a requirement of playing the demo a few times more.

Either way, check it out if your on the fence or want a head start on the final thing (PSN download is just over 2GB)
