Maybe there'll be enough criticism of not including the Japanese VA outside of Japan for it to get patched in, but maybe having VA work get distributed to more countries means paying more money to the actors so it might not be as simple as just patching it in if that's how it works.

The demo takes place from the very beginning of the game when Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad is sent to Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba, up to the first boss fight. This first stage will include the tutorial phase to help you familiarize yourself with basic combat features as you explore post-war Eidos 7, a human city now infested by the Naytiba, giving you an early grasp of gameplay mechanics that will serve you throughout the game’s story.

We also have a little surprise included for players who complete the first stage. For those who complete the demo stage, you can carry over your save data when the full game releases on April 26, starting from the last checkpoint. Please note that save data must be stored on your PS5 system.

• I started with English voice like an idiot and immediately hated it.
  
• Visually the game is incredibly good. I'm running it on Balanced and haven't noticed any problems yet with frame rate from it.
  
• Dodging feels a little slow, but I think that's because you're not meant to just spam it or use it like you're playing a Souls-like.
  
• On that note, this game is more like NieR: Automata than anything Souls-like when it comes to gameplay and combat.
  
• And on the mention of NieR, you can tell the music is by the same people who worked on the music for NieR: Automata. Can't fault it so far.
  
• The opening cinematic gives a rough impression of what the storytelling is going to be like when the only reason everything falls apart is because the ships only bothered to have a tiny little shield on the front of them that offers zero protection from anything that hits at anything other than straight on. It's hard to take the antagonistic forces as a credible threat when the protagonist force is wiped out due to sheer incompetence for the most part. I didn't go into this expecting amazing story telling but the way all the ships get taken out at the start is really poor writing.
  
• I like the exploration the game offers that again reminds me a lot of Nier: Automata's area design. The only thing I dislike is the jumping; it feels a bit stiff and slows the pace down, which was very apparent to me on the bridge you have to platform across.
  
• Swimming is a bit rough, particularly with the camera. It often gets stuck on pieces of debris floating on the surface in smaller bodies of water such as the one before the second rest point.
