Probably the only way to make people understand would be to do a forced tutorial, where they show you each move and why it works.
Cause it definitely seemed like a lot of people didn't understand it, or the fact that you should be using your MP/Abilities a ton with both characters.
The demo was fun as hell and I am watching the release with an eager eye. Assuming it doesn't bump heads with any other huge titles on my list I'll be getting this for sure.
They said somewhere (JP stream or something EDIT : maybe was TGS) the game would not be ready for early 2018, they still have a fair bit of time to adjust stuff and this is why they released the demo worldwide after all.
I'll get a Switch the moment this game release, I have blind faith in it, just like I did with Bravely Default and my expectations were far exceeded.
I have high hopes that Bravely Default will continue on, they stopped in a clear sequel hook that for sure they won't abandon. I'll buy the CE just like I did with the pervious games.

I really liked the demo. And I'm hopeful that we can get more A and AA games not constrained by massive dev costs required for visual verisimilitude. I prefer playing long, story heavy games on a big screen, and so many migrated to handheld over the last few years.
The Switch seems like it could be the perfect modern jRPG machine...

I still haven't tried the demo, but everything I've seen sounds good. I'll just buy it outright when it comes out.
I mentioned that multiple times in my survey response. It was the only huge negative in an otherwise excellent demo.
This was my response as well, make it easier on the eyes in Portable mode, because my eyes were bleeding haha.
Yes. Please.
Game is fun. But the lighting and bloom. Yikes.
Reminds me of the awful lighting and shit in 3D Dot Game Heroes
I played a few minutes of the demo yesterday and it immediately felt special. Don't even need to see more. Day 1
There was a lot of "make the combat more interesting" comments. I hope they pass on those comments (they're empty and vague anyway as they give no suggestions). The battles are plenty interesting and we haven't even scratched the surface of it's potential since the demo is stuck will low level enemies and no one to really push the fact you can have both Olberic and Primrose in your party
I didn't think it was forced, that's why I was a bit torn. It's not bad but typically in games with good stories during the kind of setup you see in the parts of both campaigns in this demo I'd feel more impressed if it was done properly. Again, I felt like they were trying a bit too hard to set up some kind of dramatic points of tension for both characters. I guess it just lacked charm or some kind of tonal brilliance because formulaically it's not that bad.
Loved the demo overall, but here's a list of things I want fixed in the final game:
- Voice acting is terribad. Doesn't feel like real conversations, no one speaks that slowly in real life. Was annoying and cringy more than anything. Either make it good or take it out. Expressive grunts like BOTW would be sufficient.
- I could quickly picture how being able to uniquely interact with every NPC with 8 different protagonists is going's to get immensely tedious really fast. Do something about it.
- Suffers from Text Too Small Syndrome in menus.
- Break number not following the shield graphic properly, always being offset slightly, when camera moves was distracting.
- Battle transition animation felt cheap.
- Voice clip at the end of each battle got annoying fast.
- After Odyssey, I don't see how they can justify 30fps for this. Theres fancy effects and all but there still doesn't seem to be enough going on to not push 60fps. I blame Unreal if that's the case.
On the plus side:
+ Music was amazing.
+ Love the graphics and art style despite excessive lighting, bloom, filters. Maybe tone it down a tiny little bit but not more.
+ Story arks seemed promising.
+ Loved the simplicity yet intricate complexity of the battle system.
+ Feels good, snappy, responsive.
