Electronic Theatre debates the merits of including a demo version of Final Fantasy XIII within Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, and explores the growing trend of limited editions in the retail space.

It wouldn’t take the most discerning journalist to decree that a large proportion of the sales of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete would be a direct result of the inclusion of a demo version of Final Fantasy XIII. Though the series’ often overwhelming fanbase would undoubtedly have made every effort to help Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete become a success, how many of those disheartened by the original motion-picture have been seduced into purchasing another copy for the several hours of gameplay included, as opposed to the few hours of CGI footage?

    I actually liked FFVII: AC, and I'm going to get the Complete version even if the demo isn't included outside of Japan.

    I agree, I liked the original one so I may just get Complete for the little extras.

    I picked this up from a local importer here in the city. The Japanese import contains the dubbed extended version of AC - the other features are unfortunately in Japanese for those unfamiliar with the language.

    Also included is the FFXIII demo, which I have not tried yet (Wolverine sucking up my PS3 time)

    The boxart is kickass

    Though just to inform everyone, I'm pretty sure Advent Children Complete was confirmed to be coming outside Japan.

      It has been confirmed for a while now, but they haven't said anything about whether or not the demo will be included outside of Japan.
