EGM: FFXIII playable demo to arrive via Playstation Network?

Alright folks, once again, it’s rumor season, and what better game to speculate about than the much-awaited (and absolutely gorgeous, by the way) Final Fantasy XIII? This Playstation 3 (PS3) title has recently been getting a lot of attention, partly because of the upcoming Square Enix Party, and partly because of the latest rumor about it which is said to originate from the pages of the magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly.

According to the rumor, a playable demo for Final Fantasy XIII will be distributed via the Playstation Network sometime later this year. To quote from the magazine, “We hear that Square Enix will release a demo of its highly anticipated role-playing game via Sony‘s online marketplace”.

This has, of course, set many an FF fan into a slight frenzy. Meanwhile, the folks from CVG have contacted Square Enix Europe for any comments regarding this rumor, but the spokesperson simply replied with “I’m afraid I can’t comment on the playable demo of FFXIII at present.” Aww.

This if very exciting news, though, considering that April is the month of April Fools’ gags, and EGM was the originator of the now-famous Sheng Long myth, we suppose that we really can’t be too sure unless someone from Squeenix and/or Sony finally speaks up about the matter. But we can dream, can’t we?
