A recent demonstration of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy Type-0 at an Odaiba event will be released in demo form, Famitsu has revealed. No firm release date was provided, though it’s expected to drop ahead of the game’s scheduled October debut in Japan.

The demo will feature four missions, each with varying difficulty levels and a set objective. Type-0 is part of Fabula Nova Crystallis, the mythology that encompasses Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Versus XIII.  Gameplay videos have shown a battle system resembling that of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, without the nagging slot machine mechanic.

Given that PSN downloads are region-free, those in North America and Europe will be able to check it out simply by signing up for a Japanese PSN account. If you don’t mind wading through moonspeak, that is.

Thanks, Andriasang.
