I find it great that more and more game companies are setting up demos for their fans. A demo being announced for this game has me even more excited now.

[@Nwakanma1]

Agreed. I swear we used to almost never get demos anymore for such a long time. But those days seem to be over now.

[@igm1571]

​@@Nwakanma1it have to be, there are a lot of people mistake by accidentally buy a bad quality games and the demo is the features they should use to every games.

[@abw1317]

It's the only way to be confident in a purchase these days

[@hundvd_7]

Announced? No. It's released today

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

​@@abw1317 or just don't buy triple A games which raises the chance of the game you play actually being good.

[@oplenty]

Atlus once again showing they're the good guys by giving us another demo of a fantastic game. It brings back memories of the PS3 and 360 days when so many games offered demo options.

[@NoSmoke1]

It's awesome but atlus absolutely are not the good guys after what they did with the P3R dlc

[@TheShadDrag]

If only they didn't make you buy the same game multiple times when new content / updates release!

[@ACey96]

When, cause I can't find it

[@Pårchmēntôs]

Microsoft must’ve paid them for the exclusive marketing rights. Probably a dumb decision to do this on ATLUS’s part since the majority of their sales are from PlayStation owners and alot of them aren’t aware this game is gonna be on PlayStation or that it even exists.

[@Pårchmēntôs]

@@ACey96 not sure the exact time. Everything I can find says it’ll be sometime today.

[@dominicsawicki6943]

Its so weird too. Only Microsoft does this. Sony and Nintendo will secure more third party exclusives, but if its just m​arketing they don't ban the publisher from outright talking about other platforms @Pårchmēntôs

[@ChrisMS0815]

@@Emka112 I'm so sick of this, this is what they have to do to pretend Xbox players care about JRPG's. They kept doing the same thing with Persona 3 Reload.

I played the Demo back in June during Atlus FES in Tokyo. I can't wait for everyone to play it!!!

[@ChrisMS0815]

Is it good? How is the action to turn based combat compare to Trails through Daybreak?

[@DIEFORME173]

@@ChrisMS0815As you can see the action combat isn’t the main focus here.

@@ChrisMS0815 IDK but Metaphor takes the best part of Persona and SMT gameplay and adds additional layers to it making it peak

[@hundvd_7]

@@ChrisMS0815 Just go and try it bro

[@ChrisMS0815]

Like with Daybreak I'd just prefer if the games just keep it pure turn based with a field strike advantage mechanic like previous games. The action combat in both seems to be so barebones it's not worth having. Still looking forward to the game though.

[@TPkarov]

Yeah, more AAA need to release DEMOs !

[@amitbikramsanyal4056]

The demo is about 5 hours of gameplay and goes partway into the first dungeon. It is roughly the equivalent of playing Persona 5 upto Ann's awakening.

Demos are a rare thing in 2024

[@usrnmntavlibl2666]

Thankfully becoming more and more common! (One that comes to mind recently is Epic Mickey R).

[@Zakemaster]

Demos honestly are more common now than they’ve been for the last few decades. A lot of JRPGs in particular seem to be going back to releasing demos, and in particular the kind of demos that allow you to play the beginning of the game and then load the save when the full game releases.

[@cutespooky]

So glad demos are having a comeback.

let’s fucking go!!!! I was hoping for a demo for Sparking Zero too, but nope! Atlus is delivering! My GOTY. Day 1.

[@magtasia]

I hope the official release has a Performance mode because playing at 30 fps on a next gen console is no fun for me.

[@Cruxis_Angel]

Looks like the performance mode is only for 120hz VRR displays. Games running at 120hz for me on PS5 but the fps goes from 45-75fps. It’s all over the place and needs VRR to look smooth

[@magtasia]

​​@@Cruxis_Angel I was playing on Xbox series X. The fps on fights are 60. The fps on the bigger sections are below 60. In smaller areas you get more fps but it's not consistent. I wish for a performance mode, I don't care playing at 480p so long as I have 60fps at least.

[@TheWehzy]

"next gen console" - thats why you dont buy consoles in 2024. Starfield 80 euro = locked at 30 fps on Xbox.
