I'd say it'll be used, because if you don't then you'll be capped on magic pretty quick, and then you're passing up magic draw points all over the place.

Honestly it'll be interesting to see. It's an ongoing game design problem where even if you make refills common people get worried and don't use stuff because "I don't know when the next refill will be!"

It probably also helps that using magic seems like it's really satisfying, as opposed to just making your bars refill.

Is that demo going to be made available for us PlayStation accounts? It looks like it would be fun but I don't have time to jump through the hoops to set up a japan account.

There are no hoops. You create the account right on your PS4 and click a link in an email.

Here's how to create a Japanese PSN ID in 60 seconds - if you don't have time to make one, you don't have time to play the demo.

The magic system of being able to pump up a spell's power up to 99 for a super charged attack is a really interesting way that will never be used because most people will just hoard magic like precious elixer.

Each campsite has a draw point for the three staples of fire ice and lightning, there's about 9 campsites in the judgement demo area, which is the prologue area all the streams from E3 and such have shown, and each draw point gives about 33 magic and you can only hold 99. Also, each bottle of magic gives 3 uses. So I'd say at least they're encouraging usage of the common element magic.

Yeah based on what I've seen it will be more like potions than elixirs. Potentially a constraint in a single battle but not really one over a campaign. There will still be broken people who almost never cast a spell for fear of not having some THAT ONE TIME.

For some reason I thought it would be more involved, with faking an ip or address or whatever like is needed for Netflix. Silly me.

Duscae is fun but probably outdated now, the Platinum one is a kind of boring tech demo that doesn't really work as one thanks to all the tech issues.

My patience for games that use save points these days is very thin. I'm still getting it but i'm curious how it deals with it.

Meanwhile Duscae has an old version of the combat system that is worse in every way and only has like 3 kinds of enemies to fight.

That's actually pretty rad come to think of it. I played it recently and fell in love with it then, so I'll be happy when I get my digital copy to unlock the day before my birthday.

Yeah, the judgement demo is weirdly fun considering it's a foreign language demo of a roleplaying game, definitely worth the 10 minutes or so it took to make a japanese PSN. The combat feels good and the basic gameplay loop of 'roll into the next town, do the hunting quests, move on' could have real legs.

So, let's say you don't speak or read a lick of Japanese beyond so desu ka (and don't even know the kanji for that) -- is the demo completely inaccessible? How're the folks who can't read Japanese navigating their way through it?

It's very straightforward, and the tutorial has visual button prompts so learning how to play isn't a problem.

Awesome - thank you. I've already got the demo downloading and was a little hesitant about whether pulling the 13 gigs would be worthwhile but at the very least I can try out the combat a bit. Have no idea how I'll use the Ascension grid or complete any quests, but I figure it'll at least give me a sense of whether I enjoy the baseline play enough to toss in a pre-order.

There are rough translations online for everything that might take more than a minute to puzzle out, namely the Ascension Grid and the settings menu, so I wouldn't worry too much. Google is on your side.
