As you all know, the demo for LR was released yesterday for the PSN (don't know exactly when for Xbox Live), so let's have nice civil discussion about it those of us who played it. Post impressions and everything.
For me, the demo was somewhat cool. I'd already seen the intro so it didn't impress me, and most of it because of the terrible dialog. I grasped the combat basics quite easily, but some things are still not clear for me. Although I like the combat, I thought it was far more boring than that of XIII and its sequel, mainly because of the lack of supporting characters. The boss battle at the end quickly became boring, because of the monster's high HP and lack of challenge. Also, why give us control of Lightning's movement if she can only move at the speed of a land turtle? On the other side, the graphics were not bad. They are definitely lacking the marvelous vistas of XIII, and Lightnings outfits are ridiculous; but it looked nice. I hope you like Hope, because he does not shut up for the whole demo (and I suspect will be the same for the full game); and Ali Hillis sounds even more bored than usual as Lightning (for good reason, I can't tell if Lightning has any emotion left in her). So, thoughts?
