Steam's US API displays July 9 while Bandai Namco's US and European launch pages use July 10. That is a regional unlock-display difference, not evidence of separate editions. This page uses the publisher's stated launch date and preserves the store difference instead of silently choosing one.
The $69.99 figure is the US Steam Standard Edition price observed on August 26. Deluxe and Ultimate cost more because they add an Expansion Pack and other entitlements. Prices and promotions can change; use the edition comparison for contents, then confirm the final amount in your platform store.
The demo is useful for learning the opening systems, but its save data transfers only to the full game on the same platform. It also creates a specific Death Game Mode limitation, covered in demo save transfer and Death Game Mode.
