So apparently I was not part of the first 30,000 and got put on the priority list. It's kinda bittersweet. On one hand, I felt like a doof for shelling out that much for a game I wasn't sure I'd like -that- much, but I am still a little disappointed at the same time.
Anyway, I played through the Platinum demo, and it was a lot of fun. Combat was way better than the original demo and being able to freely switch between weapons to make combos was pretty awesome. Combat might be a tad bit simple, and I would've liked to remap my attack button, but overall, it was better than I was dreading.
That being said, I am super excited about the character design of the enemies I've seen in the trailers so far, and being able to fight an Iron Giant in the demo and seeing old-school Final Fantasy I GOBLINS taking form is very nostalgic. Playing this demo reminded me a bit of Kingdom Hearts, so I'm also starting to get excited for the new one. I haven't played the originals though, so there's that. I'm hoping for a PS4 port before the new one gets released, but we shall see.
Graphically, the game is phenomenal. It's kind of a shame, really, since you can tell the game is being limited by the hardware. Part of this makes me think they're making a current gen version and a PC version would probably be souped-up in comparison.
