Ffxv Demo

We've been waiting almost a decade, but you'll finally get your chance to to play Final Fantasy XV in the relatively near future thanks to the game's demo that comes bundled with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.

If you've been busy getting yourself all hyped up for the upcoming glimpse of Noctis' gorgeous looking adventure, then you'll likely be interested in a few of the demo's finer details that come courtesy of Famitsu magazine. Kindly translated by Siliconera, the publication reveals that the demo's actually going to be quite robust.

For starters, it'll take place in the same area that we've seen during most of the title's trailers. You'll be running around grassy plains, weaving through outlying forests, and stumbling across caves, which house monsters that are stronger than those you'll encounter outside.

You'll also be making use of the role-playing game's camp system, which allows you to level up your characters, tweak your equipment, and cook food. By preparing meals, you'll level up a cooking statistic, and by eating them, you'll gain beneficial effects. The good news is that monsters will drop ingredients after they're defeated, so you won't have to trudge all the way back to a town in order to grab what you need to make your next dinner.

Perhaps the most intriguing titbit, though, is that you'll be able to hunt down a Behemoth enemy. It'll likely be the strongest opponent that you can face in the demo, and we reckon that its presence will be enough to spark off plenty of videos that feature players bringing it down in record time.

And finally, much to the relief of many fans, it's been confirmed that you won't be met with a game over screen if the character you're in control of gets clobbered. Instead, your fellow party members will try and revive you, which sounds like a massive improvement over Final Fantasy XIII's rather controversial approach.

It's also worth remembering that you can get a live peek at the demo later this week, as Square Enix will be streaming it on its YouTube channel. Do you plan on watching? Have you already put in your pre-order for Type-0 HD? Dream of finally getting your hands on the release in the comments section below.
