Nine years after it was first announced,

You also get a look at what XV's mission structure will presumably be like. In Duscae, your car has broken down and the repairs come at an extravagant cost. In order to make the money quickly, you decide to answer a bounty placed on a rogue Behemoth, which will net you enough cash to fix your car and buy some much-needed supplies. Episode Duscae, rather than give you one self-contained mission, offers a handful of objectives for you to complete. You can have multiple quests go on at once; for example, you can hunt for a wild chocobo while stalking the Behemoth's trail. It's a very clear-cut way of doing things, but it also prevents you from muddling up objectives.

Episode Duscae is a wonderful little package featuring a little bit of everything you need to get a sense of a RPG: combat, weapon and experience handling, sidequests, character introduction and development, music, UI. For those who have been waiting for XV's release it's the perfect way to to whet your appetite and get excited again.

So is it worth playing Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae? Yes. Give Type-0 a chance if you're really committed to getting your hands on Duscae, because the demo itself is a fun, self-contained little slice of XV's world. No matter how far out Final Fantasy XV's final release is, you'll at least know a bit about what you're waiting for. It's an ideal moment to go hands-on with something and make your own informed opinion about what's to come.
