I just finished with it. Managed to get through Cyrus' and Therion's chapters in the 3 hour limit. Therion's story was better, but I think I liked Cyrus as a character more. Having that guaranteed 100% steal rate during Therion's chapter felt great, lol. Then afterwards when I had only two minutes left I reset over and over until I got the 3% +80 SP accessory. Took 64 tries, so I was unlucky... Was also kind of annoying how many people you can scrutinize that don't actually yield any kind of reward. Even ones with low success rates. Maybe their info blurbs will be useful for solving side quests or something. I didn't actually read them all in an effort to save time, so I'll probably go back and do it over in the main game.

I want it to be July 13th already.

I played through the hunter girl and just got to Therion's and was doing his prologue, but I haven't picked it back up yet. Super fun! The hunter girl's skill is fuckin ridiculous, you can capture any monster you fight in battle and keep them stocked to use later for yourself in another battle. Different monsters have different skills obviously, and each capture you do gets you SIX uses with that monster. You basically get free full heals from it with a certain monster capture.

Oh and if you aren't sure how much health a monster has left and you don't want to eat another hit, just capture it and bam easy way to end the battle. Capture does have a percentage rate, the lower health the monster has the higher chance to capture, but it's been pretty damn lenient so far. I'm sure the further you get into the game the less effective it becomes but man so far it's super super good.

The way I figure, it was either be a timed demo or have a lot less content in it. The demo gives you the option to pick any of the 8 characters, due their first chapter, and then explore the world to find the other characters. They'd be giving away a whole lot if it was every character's first chapter with no time limit. Hell even with the 3 hour limit some people have still managed to recruit all 8 characters or level up to 40+ and have great equipment.

Oh, that doesnt sound too bad then. I thought it was similar to some other Nintendo demos where you only got X time/plays and that was it

You're also free to delete your save and start over to try different choices. Like do four runs to see all 8 characters' stories, then do a final speed run of skipping all cutscenes and fighting a couple Caits to get all 8 recruited and ready for the full game.

I've played it too. H'aanit is bae.

Best theme of all the characters, too, although Primrose's is close.

It was cool to see that enemies start to scale as you progress. It would've been pretty boring if all 8 Chapter 1s were the same strength level. And combat got notably more fun when a second party member got thrown in the mix.

I've been playing it and enjoying it way more than I expected. Started with Ophelia and had a hell of a time with the first boss. I actually got crushed twice before really pulling out all the stops. That said it was really satisfying to win and I felt like I had a much better understanding of the systems employed.

I'm about 50% through my demo time and am working toward H'aanit now.

I started with H'aanit, but I hated the faux Shakespearean dialogue, so I went with Therion as the main character instead. Ended up recruiting H'aanit first, so it didn't really matter. Whoops. Also managed to finish Ophelia's chapter before the time limit.

Extremely excited for the game. It was one of the biggest reasons I decided to buy a Switch, and I don't think I'm going to regret it.

Played some of H'aanit. The old english is definitely not my favorite. Maybe I'll keep going with that, although I might restart with Primrose

I've only played a little bit of Tressa's, the merchant, story but I have enjoyed what I've played. Also, I love the way the game looks.

If it helps, Cyrus/Scholar subclass' first unlocked passive ability reduces random battles by a fair amount.

I preordered this despite never playing the demo and not even knowing it existed until E3. All I know is that it's "probably" an RPG.

I haven't even seen any gameplay yet. I just got a Switch and want things to play.

Is it toggleable? I was kind of sad to see that they didn't seem to use the random encounter slider this time, but that would make up for it, at least a little.

It's a passive skill that you can equip/unequip.

I did. Finished Primrose, Obleric, and then Tressa right as time expired.

Now I hate it, because I just want the full game available to play and it's still 3 weeks out. It's so much fun!

Well download the demo and get started. It's basically the full game but on a 3 hour limit. And your save data will carry over to the full game so you can just keep going.

Well, it's the final game, but not the whole game. You can't progress past Chapter 1.

Save data getting carried over is great stuff. I hate playing demos then the full game comes out and it turns out the demo was just the beginning of the game and you have to play it over again.
