Pros:
- Awesome soundtrack.
- Possible good story.
- Lighting, particle effects.
- Summons
Cons:
- Foreign simplistic combat system that feels nothing like an FF game.
- Main protagonist is a teenager with father issues, is a prince.
- Main party all dress in black, have black hair, Noctis would be more fitting as an evil boss, rather than a hero. Maybe they're secret devil worshippers?
- Awful Performance issues, proof is in the video for everyone trying to say they downloaded a magical version with no issues.
- Steeping on rocks to change the weather, instead of having a natural day/night cycle.
- Not staying true to its roots, annoying long time fans.
- Clunky controls, camera.
- Blurry graphics, jagged edges.
- Carbuncle is a squeaker.
- Magic Sucks

I think you're being a tad overly critical with regards to performance since this is a demo, a very poor demo at that, and the stepping platforms/switches are only for demonstration purposes only, they won't be in the full game. I dislike the combat too as it doesn't feel like an FF game and a lot of people say it's similar to Kingdom Hearts (never played it tbh) which probably appeals to them. I haven't seen how this combat plays out when you have a party and i fear i would only control 1 character at a time whilst the others are controlled by an AI which I hate.
