So the demo is basically 3 hours of the full game, giving you the chance to actually play it before making your mind up properly about the full release this Friday. You can pick any of the 8 protagonists and play 3 hours of their storyline. I chose Alfyn, the Apothecary. I really can't explain why but apparently it was a good choice and I've really enjoyed the story so far.
Each of the characters has a special ability, and Alfyn's is Inquire. He uses his helpfulness and friendliness to learn details from people that others can't. To start with Alfyn uses an axe and ice magic. As you increase in level, you earn Job Points (JP) which you can use to learn new skills in any order you choose. As you learn new skills, you also unlock support skills which are employed automatically.
We've all seen how shiny it looks in the initial demo, and this is still true of the "prologue". I may only be 1.5 hours in, but I can see how this will end up taking up my summer gaming.
