Boy when I booted up that demo I was expecting a real stinker.
...Only to find out that whoever wrote this article suffers from some serious reading difficulties.
"The Bar will likely grow as you progress the game". Fella, the second you use the D.U.M.A, land a first attack, or ace an enemy with a combo you get a pip. It's actually harder to avoid full pips because you get all the tools to max out your bar within the first 15 minutes of the game.
How do I know this? Because of the very very very basic but highly informative brief tutorials that they ease you into in the first 15 minutes of the game. "land first hits to raise pips" and "perform blindsides to raise pips" which even work on the bosses. What's more, AP regenerates so fast that the literal half a second you spend waiting for it to max out is literally barely enough time to reposition to attack weakpoints. That's how quick it is.
I'll admit. With the last Star Ocean being a stinker I was willing to write it off based on this review . I'm glad they released a demo so I could see for myself that whoever played for this hands on puts the cup head reviewer to shame!
