Lucky bastage!
I was lucky enough to play the demo (PAX West).
Well, I'm still jazzed to play the game, so... I really enjoyed it. But bear in mind that the hands-on demo is a lot shorter than the leak version. Regardless, I was enraptured throughout the whole demo (AND I managed to beat the Guard Scorpion before I was shuffled out of the play area)1. How dare you, why wasn't it me /s
2. What did you think?
I'm not sure if this is the right place, but reddit user Jacien_V put together a cool combat controls guide for Cloud. (Beware of gameplay spoilers from the leaked demo! He shows some locations and encounters, but no story beats.)
This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for from basic combat without using ATB bars. It doesn't need to be as deep as Devil May Cry or anything, but just giving some variety in how you press square to attack goes a long way. Looks like you can make some sweet combos with Cloud by switching between modes, and really make those big hits count with his berserk self-buff.
Plus, as someone who's watched a fair amount of demo leaks, it's so relieving to see someone who isn't straight up terrible at the game...
As I said, wasn't sure if this was the right place, so if it's too spoilery or anything just let me know.
"Stop opening your menu, you don't have any ATB!!"
But I'm at woooooooork
Or is it only in Japan right now?
OMGOMGOMG Might be calling in sick today...
