I'm not sure if you all know this or not, but Sq-E announced that when you purchase DQVIII, you will get a free demo of FFXII. This is some pretty big news, considering that the demo hasn't been playable to the public (press doesn't count as public), as far as my knowledge goes anyway.

This is probalby just a scheme to get more people interested in DQVIII, but still exciting news nonetheless.
