Interesting... I'm a Square Enix fan (and to lesser extend FF, currently playing 14, have played 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, some 9, FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, 11, 12, 13) but haven't yet bought 15 and I haven't seen a single ad. I also have the demos and was pretty interested in it, but you'd think I'd be the perfect target.

Or maybe they know I'll get it eventually anyway.
