Okay after a little bit of digging, I have finally found this topic to share with you that I have just finished playing the demo! It was really good, at least for a demo, and I hope they are heading in this direction for good when it comes to the final game. Alas, there are some things I hope they change, but onward with the experience.

When you first pop it in, you are greeted by the famous prelude you are all familiar with. Ah, brings tears to my eyes. Heh. Anyways, that's pretty much what this game is about: nostalgia to the max. There are things in this game that you just freak out and are like, "OMG I REMEMBER THAT!" For example, when fighting against Titus, the song that plays is the Ramstein (sorry, I butchered that name) song that's all crazy screamo and such. You'll have a lot of those moments from their attack names, to music, and maybe to some, the levels (I couldn't really tell where we were fighting by looking at it).

The graphics are really good, and the characters are fleshed out properly. I was a little skeptical because they sort of altered their looks from what I have originally seen them all at, however, it's nothing to be worried about. The environments are destructable, and even the walls make holes when you get slammed into them, however they magically regenerate once you fall off? I don't get the point of that, but whatever. It lets you break the wall once more.

The gameplay is unique. You start the game locked on to whomever you're fighting, but you can hit L at any point and free roam as much as you'd like (or until you get the snot beat out of you). Moving is fluid, you don't really get stuck anywhere, and the triangle button is key. It lets you air grind (special areas where you can soar across beams of light), run up and down walls and pillars, and dash forwards and backwards from your opponent. It sort of feels like how a DBZ game should be, but never was. Haha. The objective of the game is to defeat your opponent by bringing his/her HP to 0. However, they add in a feature called... called... You know what, it's slipped my mind at the moment. Haha. But it's those really HUGE numbers you see in the videos. There are two types of attacks, one that hurt HP, and one that hurt those big numbers. The more of those big numbers you have, the more damage your attacks do. If you remove an opponents numbers completely, they go into what's called a 'Break' mode, where they take insane amounts of damage. It's the perfect time to dish out a grade A butt whoopin.

The final aspect that I seen were the EX-Attacks. Periodically, an EX-Gem falls from the sky, and picking up enough of them can send you in EX-mode for a short time. You engage it yourself by pressing R and square, making your character glow and possibly giving them a new look. If you can land just one physical attack, then you can use your EX-attack simply by hitting square. After this, depending on who you're being, you get to input a combination, or mash a button or two to execute the attack. The opposing side can defend it, but only by a percentage. They are devastating though, and I feel a key part of this game. However, it is possible to destroy your opponent within 15 seconds and not touch an Ex-gem. So there's no cheating. Heh.

Overall, as I said, I like the feel of the game. If something in here I explained doesn't make sense, or you have more questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer them. Oh, and for your drooling pleasure, the characters that I was able to use, and fight against.

Onion Knight - EX-Attack: Job Change - The onion knight changes his job into a ninja, where the old school menu pops up, you can pick attack, magic, throw, or ... something else. Haha. It's pretty cool looking.

Cecil - EX-Attack: Dark Attack - Cecil switches between his light and dark forms, smashing the enemy around the field with all sorts of pretty. :D

Terra - EX-Attack:Trance - Before you even initiate this, she's already in her esper form, which looks amazing to begin with, but she unleashes the fury when you can connect with it. It's awesome. Plus she's absolutely adorable.

Cloud - EX-Attack: Omnislash - It's awesome, right as you engage in your EX-Attack he equips Ultima Weapon or whatever it was called for the fight. Haha. But for those of you who may not know what this is, it's a brutal array of attacks. I don't think anyone survived when I used this.

Sephiroth - EX-Attack:??? - I don't remember what it was called, but when you engage it, you grow a black wing from your back. I know, pretty sweet right? Haha. Anyways, he pretty much engulfs you in flames from heck. I think it was actually called heck's something or other. Haha.

And I fought:

Squall, Tidus, Firion, Warrior of Light, And Cloud of... something. I forget again. Haha. Sue me, I played through it in a matter of minutes. I was just as excited as everyone else. :P Anyways, enjoy!

Probably Super Nova, his big move from the final battle in FF7 that took like, a year to watch the animation (as an explosion blows up planets one by one) and couldn't kill you cuz it was percent based. I don't have a PSP so I won't be finding out though. Anyway Bartz rulez schoolz.
