People play FF because of the story and setting. There is a literal story mode for that. The story are the best thing of the demo, and allowing the full flashback to be unfolded let us stopping playing in a cliffhanger. Imagine a TV show pilot that end in a big twist and let you wanting the next episode 

I already know I'll like an FF for the story (well, for the most part, last 2 were a bit lacking but i have faith in the FF14 team on that front) but that's not what I'm looking for in the demo. I want to find out if I will enjoy the gameplay due to how it's so different from all previous entries.

Again, I felt like I watched 90 minutes of cutscenes in a 2 hour demo that I (apparently wrongly) presumed was going to try and appeal to me for gameplay. This hasn't made me think "wow the story was great can't wait to watch it", it was "That was a lot of cutscenes, is the main game going to be filled this much with them?"

Nothing against the plot presented to us, it was good and intriguing as mentioned.

It was a bit unbalanced but I also like that this wasn't a designed demo and literally just presented you the first 2 hours of the game, but I see where you're coming from. The goblin hunting section specifically wouldn't have been a better place to start because it lacks all the narrative & spectacle which pulls you in and establishes why the franchise is (can be special)
