Not much to spoil the demo is pretty much like the PS1 demo I believe which is just the bombing mission.
You’d be missing the best bit of the demo anyway if you don’t finish it.Fine! I'll finish it.
Basically my findings too. First time it took me ages to kill the boss. Did not come close to dying as had about 20 potions though so kept using those. Just took ages. By the 3rd time I played he was much easier and quicker to kill.Absolutely loved the demo. Final Fantasy 7 is one of my all time top 3 games and I had so much fun with the demo that I ended up playing through it 3 times just to learn more about the combat system and to appreciate how great a job they have done. One thing I will say about the combat system is for those people who don't like it that much... really learn it properly because the first time I fought the scorpion boss I nearly died and it took ages... the second time I fought it I did it easy and it took about half the amount of time. Using the square button to do your standard attacks is just a means to fill up your ATB gauge for your spells and special abilities. Don't think of square as your main attack or anything because it really doesn't do that much damage. Once you get used to the combat system it becomes so much easier and fun to control. use the L1 shortcut for quick access to spells and abilites. That makes a big difference. Soon as you stagger enemies switch over into punisher mode for higher damage and keep using your spells and abilities as soon as you get the chance. I would also recommend switching the combat lock on to free combat instead of the default. Makes it so much more fluid and easier to target people quickly.

Yes. It’s the start of the game right up to the scorpion boss and mako reactor explosion.Ive passed on the demo because i played the EGX one and that was enough to keep me going until the full release tho i must say i am very tempted to download it tonight, does it have the train sequence? thats the thing i am avoiding seeing. Agree with what you have said about the combat, i did smash the Scorpion first attempt, Thunder works wonders on him. Bring on the full release.

Was rather fancying pre-ordering a physical copy of this but considering 10th April is a bank holiday how would this work? Would I not get it until Sat 11th or Tues 14th or something.
Haven't bought a physical game for years. Would the disc perhaps arrive early but not allow unlocking or something.
Oh don't really remember that part, need pay attention to the dialogue a lot more than I should when reading.They showed that a little later in the game, not showed but told you that Shinra were actually out to wreck their own stuff, when you were told it was a surprise whereas this time round there's no reveal. Not game breaking just a little disappointing (IMO)
