In the interview, Toriyama talked about the demo of the game which will be packaged with the Blu-Ray release of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. He revealed that the demo will cover the opening and prologue of Final Fantasy XIII, to allow players to come to understand the world of Cocoon. He also mentioned that he thought the demo would be longer than Advent Children (itself a hundred minute film), and that players would be able to control not only the heroine Lightning, but the mysterious blonde male character who has appeared in several of the game's trailers. Toriyama also dropped further hints regarding this character, saying that his name is weather-based (like Lightning's), and that his tattoo is not actually a tattoo.
Toriyama also delved a little into the actual game, commenting that there is no 'main character', rather multiple perspectives from several characters which the player will experience. This theme will be followed through with the battle system, which he explained to be party-based, as opposed to the single-character control of Final Fantasy XII.
