The Platinum demo has zero story element and does not contain anything that will be included in the story of the final game. It's meant only as a tech demo of some sort and a way to obtain Carbuncle. 

Also the battle system for FFXV already changed twice and both versions were playable. From the first demo to the Duscae ver 2 and now to this Platinum demo.

Have you played the other demo? How was the combat in that version? This simplistic, hold O combat was BS. A toddler should have no problem beating this game :/

(Yes I am ranting, and yes I am a little bitter toward the game atm)

Yes I played both versions and this demo offers very little of the overall gameplay mechanic. It merely gives you a glimpse of the revised controls and layout and previews of the cool new weapons.

Duscae and Duscae 2 still has the hold O for continuous combo but you would die if you merely do just that on all enemies. You need to evade, counter, use items, heal/revive party members, plan the right special skill(weapons have specific special attacks) to execute, and watch out for prompts(party attacks, parries). Even in the platinum demo you would most likely fail if you just hold one button in the second fight against the iron giant. The first fight is childs play as well as all the enemies prior to the IG fight. You can clearly see the level of the giant the first time(level 3) but the second time you fight it it will be at level 15 and your attacks aren't gonna do anything if you don't think of something else.
