First Look at Final Fantasy 16: Play the Demo Now!

A demo for Final Fantasy 16 has made its appearance on the PlayStation Store, suggesting that an imminent announcement may be on the horizon. Being one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2023, Final Fantasy 16 is set to hit shelves in just a few weeks, exclusively on the PS5.

Prior to this, Square Enix had already confirmed the release of a demo for Final Fantasy 16 ahead of its official launch. The demo is slated to become available two weeks prior to the game's release, with the added bonus of allowing players to carry over their saved data to the full game should they decide to make a purchase. Now that the demo is surfacing on the PlayStation Store, it seems Square Enix may be gearing up to make an announcement sooner rather than later.

According to a report by Push Square and a Reddit user, a demo for Final Fantasy 16 has been spotted on the PlayStation Store, but it cannot be downloaded yet. The demo seems to only show up for gamers who have pre-ordered the game. Comments on the post confirm this, with some users sharing images of the demo in their libraries. However, others who pre-ordered the physical version expressed regret as they are unable to access the demo. It appears that the premature store page release was a mistake, but gamers will have to wait for the official download.

The upcoming release of Final Fantasy 16 has garnered much anticipation, and the demo presents an opportunity for fans to immerse themselves in the game. The demo's content is highly anticipated, and it will be interesting to see if players are rewarded for transferring their save files to the full release. Notably, Final Fantasy 16 is an action game without turn-based elements, but Square Enix has incorporated various items to simplify gameplay. For instance, the Ring of Timely Evasion enables the protagonist to evade attacks automatically, while the Ring of Timely Strikes allows for intricate moves with minimal button inputs. The demo is expected to provide valuable experience with the game's combat system, which appears to be accessible for users.

Final Fantasy 16 releases for PS5 on June 22.
