KH3D Demo Releasing in Japan on May 2nd!

[Sign]

Who would have expected that a demo for Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] would be releasing over a month after it's release in Japan? Definitely not us. According to onlineplayer, the demo will be released on May 2nd and take place in Traverse Town, and you will be accompanied by three familiar Dream Eaters: Wondernyan, Neko Cat and Kuma Panda! It will cost a grand total of 0¥!

Awesome! An English demo, that's really great, I'm so---

Oh wait it's just more Japanese stuff.

[King Chaser]

Why. Japan?

Why release a Japanese demo one month after the release of the actual game? xD

I guess more people will get interested in it after playing it a little.(even though i doubt there is someone in Japan that doesn't know of KH.

Post-release demos aren't uncommon.

It's a good way to get people though the door while the game is still relevant.

Final Fantasy Type-0 had two demos:

"Natsubi" released pre-release

"Reishiki" released post-release

Yeah you right. Keeps game alive and in-talk.

But you had to mention Type-0? T_T

Now i'm thinking again when it'll come to the West. Sham i want to play it and understand it. ;A;

I see us getting a similar demo pre-release in English. (Actually I'm just hoping.)

I was wondering if Square was going to release a demo. *sigh* its only for Japan though but I also wonder if they're going to release a demo for theatrhythm final fantasy too. Lets keep our fingers crossed for an English demo. :)

We can only hope that the demo comes to NA.

[maggosh]

Well, sure, but in USD, it's $-1.50.

I've always wanted to know how a KH demo would be. This is the first one released for download before. This is rather amazing xD

[KevVentus]

Oh God, a demo sure would make the wait easier if it's pre release. Please release one in America!!

I was wondering if Square would ever release a KH demo, so this news was pretty surprising.

They'll probably release an English demo, but like Japan's, it won't come out until after the game is released in the US. The reason for this is that demos are a very risky thing. While it can attract some people, a demo done wrong can also turn off A LOT of people. For this reason, if I was SE, I would also wait to release a demo. Let the people who want the game get it first and not be deterred from the demo, and then wait a month for those people who are still on the fence about it, let them play a demo and decide for themselves.

[KevVentus]

Yeah, I'm not setting my hopes on one because 3DS demos are pretty few and far between

It would still be very nice though
