So I just completed the demo. Took me around 3 hours, that included plenty of messing around and whatnot.
Pros:
- Visually, as expected, looks pretty damn amazing.
- Combat is a ton of fun. Crazy part is magic hasn't even been implemented yet. Also for those who though it would be "herp derp hold down attack to win" yeah you're gonna die if you do that. You can't cancel out of an attack so it's got that Souls game thing of committing to an attack.
- Music is quite good
- RAMUH SUMMON ZOMG (seriously it's fucking bonkers and hilarious)
- From what I can tell there are no load times (unless you warp to a camp). It's basically a long initial load and then once your in nothing. There are some parts where I suspect they are "masking" the load perhaps, like "squeeze through this narrow passage into the cave".
Cons:
- I sort of expected this but that framerate needs to be improved. I suspect/hope it will be by the final game, but I imagine there will still be drops that happen from time to time. For the record it's not awful or anything, but it is noticeable.
- No car driving in demo (coincidentally the main mission in the demo is getting the funds to pay the repair bill for the car).
- The camera can be a bit wonky at times. To go along with that lock on, when on faster enemies, can be a bit messy.
There's probably other stuff I'm missing, but I need to get to bed. I'm super jazzed and my faith has been rewarded. So yeah post your own thoughts or even questions you may have. Guess I should actually play that Type-0 game too since that came with my demo. >_>
*edit* Found this good combat tutorial video elsewhere and figured I'd throw it here to assist people and give some tips about things they may not know.
