Square Enix to Charge for FF Demo

Final Fantasy XIII is coming out soon. I admit I’ve never played any of the FF games. The game is already stirring up some controversy in the gaming community, and no, it’s actually not from Jack Thompson this time. The demo of the game is said to include 90 minutes of gameplay and will be included with the Blu-ray release of the movie Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Developer/Publisher Square Enix has said that they will also package the demo separately, for a price. How much is not known at this point.

The demo does include an hour and a half of gameplay but in my opinion, it’s pretty cheap to charge for a demo. It’s almost as tasteless as having a cash bar at a wedding. The whole point of a demo is that they are free trial versions of a game. That brings us to this month’s survey question. Would you pay for a stand alone demo of a game? This does not include demos that come with gaming magazines, movies, or other purchases.
