If you’re in Japan, Square Enix Magazine Demo Disc Vol. 1 will be available in Tsutaya on August 12. The demo disc is free to rent. If you want one for keeps buy this week’s issue of Famitsu. The magazine plans to give 1,000 of these away, which means this will surely by a collectable item in the future.
