Isn't is nice when companies throw in games for us when they release demos, Konami gave us Zone of the Enders with the MGS2 demo, Capcom gave us Resi CVX with the DMC demo and who can forget Microsoft giving us the awesome Crackdown when they released the Halo 3 beta.
Seriously though, I've only played an hour of Type 0 and I did enjoy what I played, the intro cutscene dragged a little to long though
The thing that gets me about the FFXV demo is "it was made to explain to fans why the game is taking so long to develop." Well, I already know why it's been development for 9 years. It was a side project for the last generation that became a main numbered entry and had all of the work revamped for the new gen. I can understand why that took so long. FFIX was originally a side project (as a throwback to the old days), too, until the executives liked it enough to make it a numbered sequel. IX was just far enough along to not be pushed onto the PS2.
What I want to know is if FFXV will be any good. In the past 9 years, I haven't been too trusting of any Final Fantasy title that wasn't a remake or sequel to I-X. I'd like to play that demo and see the series get back on its feet, but the demo is "for the fans" (read: anyone willing to buy another game to try it).
I don't have a PS4/Xbone, but was considering getting a copy of Type-0 for the FFXV demo[footnote]Yeah, I know eBay has listing for the vouchers, but I'd rather not spend $15 to $40 on a demo code that I might not even be able to redeem when I finally get a PS4.[/footnote] and as a starter game for a new console. The only reason I'd buy a game for a console I do not yet own (besides knowing it will be rare *cough*Pikmin 3*cough* when I do have the console) is because of the offer for the demo. I hate how Square apparently promised the demo (or any other) would never be offered to anyone who didn't buy Type-0 at launch.
If anyone else can recommend it, I might actually grab it and work on getting a PS4 to play it (and Episode Duscae). Otherwise, I'll just wait until both games are half of their launch price.
