I played the Final Fantasy 8 demo from Brave Fencer Musashi, which is not a bad game, anyway, I'm glad. The demo was challenging, yet it was the beginning of the game. It has a different format than any other FF game. You see all 3 characters in your party at the same time in every scene of the game, not just in battle. The magic system is entirely different, instead of putting in materia or learning from espers or buying magic spells, you learn from an enemy and you store 1 usage of that spell or so. I have only played the demo once and I finally beat it! This is an improvement on FF7 which was fairly easy. Heres an outline of the demo for everyone who wants to know.
(Note:Pictures are actual footage of demo)
Land on a beach in the middle of a war
Get mission objectives from Seifer
Go to Town Square
Secure Town Square and wait for a while
Follow enemy troops into a monster filled mountain
Fight Wedge and Bigg's atop an enemy repaired satellite(amazing video)
Fight a mysterious creature who came out of nowhere on the satellite
Fight a robotic spider
Run away from the robotic spider(he catches you atleast twice)
Escape from war on the vessell you came in(great video)
End of demo
If any of you have the demo and can not beat it, here are the best tips which got me through the demo. When fighting a normal battle, "store" as many spells as possible with Cloud and Zell and fight with Rinoa, don't use magic, save it for the big guy. When fighting Biggs and Wedge, and the monster after them, use Leviathin, the guardian froce(G.F.) once on each. When fighting every guy except the spider, draw Cure from each monster you fight and cast it to heal, do not use your own unless it is an emergency. Keep Rinoa alive. When fighting the spider, use Leviathin only ONCE!! Only once because this is very time consuming and I assure you you will not make it out of there if you use leviathin every time you fight the spider. Do not hesitate while running away and don't worry once you get to the city, you're pretty much safe after that.
