I won't argue about the story. Everything has been written by now, so looking for new things is a nonsense. We've got here some classic "we're facing overwhelming odds and the ones who're supposed to help add even more to the threat" combined with "we're at the wrong place, at the wrong time". Even if the writing is taking easy shortcuts, it's still appealing to me. Now, the game. I love turn-based games, they let me plan my moves without need to melt my brain. But I hate when enemies keep at striking only one of my mates if I can't defend properly. We've got no "parry" or "defend" move and it seems a downed character doesn't get as much experience as victorious ones. Moreover, we're told that only "active" character get experience, not "reserved" ones. That makes me believe we'll stick to the same fighter group all along the game, because they're the only ones that can gain power properly. It lowers replayability, too. Since we're told some characters may be compulsory to some parts of the game, it's some king of turn off to me. Anyway, the demo is too short to know if I'm right or wrong. I encountered some issue with a side quest (the fisher one) wher I believe I've done what should be do, but I couldn't finish it. It wasn't game-breaking, though. All in all, I still enjoyed my playthrough of the demo.
