A game demo was given to video game journalists in March, and the game was showcased a second time, at the Tokyo Game Show in April, where it was one of the most visited Enix attractions after "Dragon Quest VII". The gaming website IGN attributes this popularity to the fact that, earlier in the year, screenshots of the game had shown two female characters about to kiss each other. However, the release of the game revealed that there is no lesbianism in the story and that one of the girl featured in the kissing scene is in fact possessed by the player's ghost.
