Just got through the Platinum Demo. Having not played the previous demo, most of it was neat but it was obvious it was more a tech demo and I was ready for it to be over when I got near the last part. Could have done without the vendor trash enemies, too. The Titan battle, though, sold me on the game.

It is also nice to see the "Modern world that used to be a fantasy world" style in play again that hasn't really been used since 7 and 8.

Oh, I was under the impression the Platinum demo was a bit longer. How long is it exactly?

For me, it was about a half hour, give or take. Maybe longer if you want to collect all the shards and see what the different plates do.

Probably like 45 minutes? You can probably spend longer walking around collecting crystals and marveling at a game with dynamic lighting and weather in 2016 but I was ready for it to be over without doing much of that

Yeah, it was mostly "Yo, look at what we can do!". That said, one of the spell items you can get (Star shower, was it?) was really impressive.

I just don't see how this game can live up to a decade of hype.

What hype? In fact, I don't think the Final Fantasy name has ever been weaker.

Should I play the other demo first to get the hang of the combat or does the platinum demo explain it pretty well?

It does a decent job, but really, the only real fight is at the end with Titan. Otherwise, it is just holding down the attack button to beat down the Kingdom Hearts enemies.
