My copy arrived today too, i've not touched the demo yet (i forgot about it) but gfaqs says there's stuff that transfers over and also from the completed files of the first game.

Is it worth me quickly firing through the demo to get this or is it not really worth it and i should just jump into the main game?

The demo is fun, but if you already have the full game you should just jump into it and you won't miss much.

Just to clarify: the demo is "canon" but doesn't tell you anything important and is barely referenced in the main game as far as I know.

The demo takes about 12 hours to 100%, by the time you're 12 hours into the main game you can probably afford to buy all the stuff the play bonuses would give you anyway. It's a nice little headstart if you do it before getting hold of the game but that's all.

Yeah it has been fun to play through in the 2 weeks while waiting for it to release but if you have the game already just start it.

Just a couple of lines at the start, not worth delaying the main game for the story nor bonuses.

The game is really pretty and the pacing of the intro is really nice.

e2: Incidental things, not plot related All 4 of your main characters have a unique eating animation that matches their personality :3:. Yew is all polite, Tiz is sort of generic, Edea pigs out and Magnolia plays around with it. I love little touches like that

I didn't know this was even in the works. I really liked the first one, except the part where they put in a leveling treadmill instead of a real final chapter, so I never beat the game.

The first game was real good up until you basically had to play it over and over and over with the 99% same dialogue. If they can avoid that this time it would be really great.

You could skip all the side quests if you weren't interested in seeing the little changes each time through, though.

One thing I think I'm going to miss is Ringabel. I know a lot of people found him tiresome and/or creepy but I liked his character arc in the first game.

The game makes it very clear when you have to make a choice between [Side-Quest result/Asterisk related]Which asterisk you're going to get when you choose between two holders. You won't accidentally end up with the one you didn't want.

Ah, good, it'll actually make a dent in the 110k blocks I have left on my memory card.

Why do I have this much space? Because A) why not and B) You can get 32 gb mini sd cards for, like, a tenner and below often enough.

The website says that Yu's wearing the onion knight. I'd guess Magnolia's in the Knight and Edea the Minstrel?

I think the Minstrel's Garb is the one you could buy for Ringabel in the first game. You get the same one for Tiz I think.

It's the chompers that appear on the western beach. They hit hard and run away, not worth it IMO.

Yeah I found that you were better off just chaining battles together for JP and Exp bonuses.

I did go and finish off the Bestiary (which was annoying for enemies which don't spawn very often, or in low numbers, like Witches and Sandworms) and beat Ba'al on Hard mode in the past day or two. I'm ready for the full game. :getin:
