Also, how does everyone's party configuration look?

I'm rocking:
Tiz - Swordmaster
Agnes - Red Mage
Douchenozzle - Knight
Edea - Valkyrie

I made everyone a Performer with 2-hand, Buff Up, and and Angelic Ward. Managed to get through the demo on Hard at lvl 16.

I decided to delete my save though and replayed the demo again on easy because I found out you could get 20 villagers in the demo and you can then transfer them to the full game:

Took me a little over an hour to get everything again.

which NPC do you talk to? I beat Minotaur but I'm still rocking one villager.

He's standing towards the left side of the town. If you walk left from the Magic shop, he should be the first guy you see moving down the steps, before you get to the weapon/armor shop. He only gives you one villager, but if you reload a previous save from before you talk to him, you'll keep the villager apparently. I didn't take advantage of it, seemed way too easy to exploit. Seems like a quick way to rebuild the town though.

I downloaded this demo over the weekend, and really enjoy it so far. So far I've only done the default difficulty, and have one more boss to fight (Automaton I think it's called). I liked it enough to preorder the Collector's Edition. I had a tough time rationalizing paying $15 more for the CE at Gamestop, but the one at Best Buy is only $10 more. I think the CD, artbook, and cool case make it worth the extra money. Can't wait to play the full game.
