I loved the demo but after a few play throughs now, I'm starting to think the pacing was excellent until you reach the scorpion fight. Is it me or does it take just waaaay too much effort to take it down? I mean, it's overkill. What should take no more than 5-10 min is taking like 15-20 minutes. The battle was great the first time as I was just blown away by everything that was presented but now, I feel this fight just drags on and I hope it's not what to expect with other even more demanding battles.

I don't know how common it is for people to finish the fight in 15-20 mins.
But it's not that the boss fight is particularly long. It all depends on how much you understand the combat system, and the particular strategies you can employ for that fight.
Here's someone clearing it in 2m 55s:
A few strategies that stand out is not taking cover with both characters when the tail is up, but instead let Cloud be a decoy as Barret gets free shots in.
Casting Fire twice on the Left Leg will kill it instantly.
And saving the Limit Break for the very end when the boss is regenerating is apparently quite effective.

You're absolutely RIGHT! Don't worry, that post is kinda old now....my thoughts on the demo have changed now that I have gotten better. Yeah, this game is gonna be awesome!!! I could defeat that scorpion no problem now that I understand the mechanics and how it's supposed to be played. Absolutely killer battle system and gameplay. I've already spent like 10 hours with this demo alone.
