longer than 101 mins doesn't mean 2hrs. That makes it a rumor at best but still good news anyway

The original Advent Children is 101mins. However with the extended scenes and all new sequences all together, it probably puts it around 120mins at least. Which is two hours.

If the NA release date looks to be taking too long. Might just take it right off of Square's own Japanese store. That or Play-Asia, one of the two.

awesomee

I was thinking.....when FFXII is being released, Sony would HAVE to buy the marketing rights for FFXII, and Microsoft has a ton of money...

I mean they wouldn't have to, but it would help the console a hell of a lot.

I dunno random thought =D

i wasn't buying advent children before and i won't buy it now just for a demo. this is no different than buying crackdown to get in halo 3 beta. and no matter who is doing this kind of questionable marketing; it's all crap to me.

It's different actually as only FF fans were getting the movie on Blu-ray anyway and for them is the demo... it doesn't matter why you buy it, both products are of interest for FF fans.

Crackdown was an unknown game and Halo 3 Beta was for 90% of the people the reason to get it, only idiots did pay double for Halo 3 = Crackdown+Halo3.

It would be the same as that example you mention if the demo came in a Sponge bob movie

This is marketed toward FF fans. If they put the demo in a game like Killzone 2, then yeah, that'd be terrible in my opinion, but it's not the case. The FF fans are buying ACC, and they're getting a FFXIII demo with it.

Sigh. Masterofpwnage, keep the open zone talk in the open zone (don't quote 360 fanboy comments from the open zone). There's a reason why I choose to stick in the gamer zone. It is SLIGHTLY better moderated than the open zone.

According to http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-... they said it was more than 1 hour long. And now it's more than 2 hours lol!

Er, it (the link you provided) says the demo is longer than AC, same as PSU is reporting (only PSU is rounding 1 hour and 40 minutes up to 2 hours). Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if PSU's source of info came from the link you provided (it probably did). So, get your facts straight first buddy.

My link: "Check out the incoming information below, including the juicy info that the Final Fantasy XIII demo will be more then an hour long!"

More than an hour long.

This article: "Currently the original Advent Children film clocks in at a runtime of 101mins; however, the Blu-ray version of the movie will feature scenes that were either cut completely or not finished in time for the initial release, resulting in a significantly longer runtime."

It's nothing more than pure speculation lol! They believe it will be longer than the directors cut version with no proof at all. The directors cut version wasn't even mentioned in Famitsu.

PSU is a stupid site that make up their own news.

Anyways, great news no matter what. It's one big demo.

Sigh. CLICK ON THE LINKS INSTEAD OF READING THE DESCRIPTION. Here is what the ARTICLE that your link points to says.

-The Final Fantasy XIII Demo will be longer then Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. The movie is over a hour and a half long, this demo must be huge!

Sigh. Do you read the articles or just only read the summaries?

Apparently the rumor that there would be a FFXIII demo with the PS3 version of Last Remnant is either false or true but unconfirmed as of now.

The demo starts at the beginning of the game so they should make it that you can save at the end of the demo and start right were you left when the final version of the game is released.

Cool. a demo lasts about 2 hours. this means the full game could last many more hours.... this makes me love the game even more.

Yeah, because the last FFs were just 5 hours long... :S
Of course its going to be longer than the demo. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a demo.

Short demo is better.
I don't want experience the FF13 world deeply in demo,
but I want know how the gameplay of FF13 is.
so, too much long demo is not good.

of cource I will buy FF13 and FFversus13.

I wish they would release the Advent Children Blu-ray/FF13 demo over here at the same time as Japan. I know they said no localization will be done on the game until it's released in Japan, but sending a 2 hour demo over to Square-Enix NA for localization wouldn't take much time at all. The movie itself is already ready to go.

so the demo isn't really free... unless you think buying advent children and them including the demo for "free" is actually free.

that sucks for ps3 owners... first you guys gotta pay for GT prolouge, which in itself was a demo, and now this.
Well, at least they didn't try to milk MGS4 with demos... but they are trying to milk that horrible online game i heard.
