Square Enix have revealed they will be releasing an update to the demo, titled Episode Duscae 2.0, sometime in May after making some changes which have been suggested by fans.
In a new episode of their 84 minute Active Time Report, Hajime Tabata addresses feedback on the demo which has been gathered using a global survey and will be acted on immediately. The new version of the demo will feature a new targeting system, a new dodging system and better control of the camera.
Tabata has also confirmed that optimisation improvements are going to be made in order to improve the shaky framerate, but he is keen to stress that it is unlikely that the results of this will be seen in the forthcoming update.

“a new targeting system, a new dodging system”
That’s good to know, and nice they are listening, as didn’t like the dodge/parry system. In fact, I found the whole battle system quite awkward and convoluted. I’d much prefer the old turn-based combat than controlled fighting.

I’m going to hold my hand up here and ask what is probably a stupid question… A few years ago (time flies by) I watched trailers and read a few articles about FF Versus. It looked really interesting, a shift from the normal FF games which I like. What happened to it? Is FF XV a renamed Versus?

Yes, pretty much. I can’t actually remember why they changed it but they did. It’s been in development for years though. I’m sure someone will elaborate further for you.

Thank you for the answer. I am miffed though that this game seems to be taking so long to create, and it makes me worry about the core gameplay if they’re taking so much time over it.
