Yeah and it is one of the reasons why, even tho I did enjoy the demo, I don't think it is a good marketing tool for the full game. It would have been better if they updated Duscae once more, added some of the weather/time changing plates across the field (so that people can play with the engine) and also added the new combat and controls that we have in the Platinum demo. That would have been a much better experience as a first impression for first timers and people who are only casually aquianted with the series, it would also have been more representative of the final game.

The Platinum Demo doesn't even ends with a trailer for the game or a "things to come" segment like Duscae did; it just asks you if you want to pre-order the game and honeslty the regular person that was just browsing the PSN store, saw FFXV and clicked on "try free demo" to play Platinum, I am not convinced that the demo as is makes the game justice or hypes said person to want the game (like Duscae did).

The Platinum Demo is something that seems more aimed for fans that have been following the game for years. But for my part, I don't need to be sold on the game, I already am and I pre-ordered a Deluxe Edition as soon as they became available after the event and before I played this demo. But for the non-FF fan, which Greg Miller was representing in the event, I don't feel this demo does FFXV justice.
