According to FF-XIII.net, Tetsuya Nomura has promised that "2008 will be the year." The designer mentions in Famitsu magazine that a demo is planned to be offered later this year to give everyone a taste of what FFXIII will have to offer. Among some of the other bits in the magazine is information on Cocoon, one of the locations in the game's storyline. The magazine also goes to talk about another land called "Pulse." Apparently the residents of Cocoon fear those of Pulse.
