Final Fantasy 16 is very close and seriously impressive, but you’ll be playing it even sooner than you think. Square Enix has confirmed that it’s plotting a full-length demo prior to release, which will last a couple of hours and focus on Clive in his youth. It’s the same segment of the game we played during a recent preview event, and you can read more about that through here.
While there’s no date attached to the demo just yet, it’s possible it might emerge during this week’s PS Showcase – although with the game still about a month away, that feels a little too soon to us. Either way, it’s pretty exciting that you’ll be able to go hands on with a significant portion of the anticipated exclusive prior to release, and we’ll of course let you know the moment it’s available to download.

Well, that’s something we can bet on for Wednesday!
I'm actually happy to hear this. FF has been hit or miss for me. I'll give the demo a shot and make a decision from there. Still looking forward to part 2 of FF7 Remake.
I hope we can continue playing from the demo save game to the main game saves, that will be cool 😃
That would be a great "play the demo today" announcement for the showcase. God I need my hands on this as soon as possible. The wait is unbearable
As someone who abhors games like Devil May Cry, I'm just overly conflicted on this game. I'll give the demo a whirl and see how it goes. I'm not opposed to changing my mind, but that demo has some serious convincing to do.
@somnambulance lets hope its just a short story trailer with a demo announcement during the showcase
@theMEGAniggle That’s what I’m hoping for too. The date of the Sony showcase almost guarantees we’re going to see more about this game and SF6 and potentially even Diablo 4 when we really don’t need any of that. We just need some quick blips about them, nothing more. Hopefully there’s absolute zero on display for Suicide Squad.
Great move. I'm not planning to buy the game but will definitely try the demo. This was the same plan I had for diablo 4 and now I'm buying It day 1 hahah
I've booked the 22nd off for FF, as I have done since 7 came out on PS1, I really don't want to touch a demo unless it is the very start of the game with the ability to use a game save from my time on it, if the section is in the main game and i have to play it twice it will ruin the experience to be honest.
I was pretty sure the demo will drop on June 11 during the FFXVI live event but man it would be amazing if it did release during the PS Showcase 😀
@Fishnpeas Me too, took a full week off for 16!
Really pleased there’s a demo, at least I can see if I get on with the combat.
@somnambulance Yeah there are going to be some unwanted guests for sure. I'm hoping Rocksteady can quietly abandon that project 😭
@3Above Could only manage the 22nd and 23rd, the missus would kill me lol
@Fishnpeas in a shocking twist it was actually my wife's idea that I should take a week for FFXVI 😳
You’d think devs would look at June and go “nah, let’s take 1-2 months to polish and iron out bugs”
@KaijuKaiser agreed. I'm genuinely happy they are not spoiling but doing a demo.
This alongside the previews show they are at least being mostly transparent on letting everyone know what this game is and isn't.
I applaud the return of demos from square and capcom🙏
It would be awesome if it released alongside the showcase, but Maaaan I hope they don't do. More than a short trailer and that announcement during the showcase. We don't need more on it nor do we need time wasted on this when we haven't heard a meaningful peep from Sony in terms of the future in years, aside from the 10+ live service Projects.
Will the save data carry over?
Is this exclusive to PS Plus Premium members only?
@somnambulance @theMEGAniggle That would be very fortunate for us, since we've already seen so much gameplay now.
They should only be dedicating the showcase to brand new game reveals, first look gameplay, and release date trailers.
@KidRyan yeah let's hope there's little showings of what's already been shown 10000x
@Robinsad apparently its so polished that it doesn't need a day 1 patch. Which is relatively unheard of these days.
@3Above You stay with that lady for life, sir! 😉
