For this week's Demo Play Thursday i played the PlayStation 4 version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II Battle DEMO.
There are 2 demoes for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II. last week i tried out the Story DEMO, https://youtu.be/Z8q4UuYjIw4, and today i tried out the Battle DEMO. Playing them was a different experience, not just in terms of the demo content but also in how broth approach the customer. as the story demo was from the start of the game, it includes a tutorial and is a much slower pace. this battle demo has no tutorial and puts us into one of two dungeons with basic missions to complete.
Thankfully, have played the demo for The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak and knew about it's battle system. but using this many characters was new to me and things were happening i wasn't too sure about. it's frustrating in that both the dungeons in this demo were specially made for the demo and that this demo feels "hand made" whereas the story demo is just a cut and paste from the start of the game. if the effort was put in to make such a special demo, then why was no effort put in to providing a tutorial. they might as well have just lifted the tutorial from the start of the game as a video and played that, at least it would've been something.
Oh, i would highly recommend setting this demo to easy. i did the first dungeon at easy difficulty level and found it to be a good challenge for my knowledge of how it all worked. for the second dungeon, i tried out the normal difficulty level and ended up getting my first team wiped out. thankfully, in The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II there's a backup team so if the first team get knocked out, the second team take their place and continue the battle.
