I'm confused about the "Gear Acquired" medals. Do you actually get new gear (and if so do you have to get all 3 per map?) or are they just collectibles?

I don't think they have a use in the demo. I do believe in the main game they will help in some way.

So after playing the demo, I've become unsure of the game. I was pretty confident in Intelligent Systems before the demo, but after awhile I got bored of waiting for the enemy to take their turn. It got to the point where I left after I made my turn, checked the notification on my phone charging across the room, and came back and the enemy was still taking its turn.
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.

I'm hoping for an option to speed it up a bit but to be honest it's not really much different then any other strategy game. Enemy has to take their turn. I never seen them take longer then 45 secs for me and really whenever I play these types of games I always do the same thing and check my phone or even go to the bathroom and this is no different.

@Spoony_Tech I didn't mind it in Fire Emblem, but that's because I saw something going on at all times. The 3rd person camera means I could be staring at a crate for the forty seconds, or I could be seeing game-changing battles. I took about thirty seconds per turn, and so I felt like half the game I was doing nothing.

You do know you can change to different players to see what's going on while the enemy moves right?

Are you having trouble with 2 or 4 characters? Because it definitely gets easy with a full team.
You'll get the hang of it.
It was the two man missions, and yeah, after you get Tiger Lily, and Lion, it's easy peasy.
Lots of complaints about the enemy turns, but honestly you should position your team so that you see what's going on. Even if you don't have steam for Overwatch, you should want to know where those baddies are moving around the map. Don't have your guy staring at a crate, turn the camera to an area of the battlefield where he can see movement. The turns don't bother me, honestly, and yeah, you can switch characters.
D-pad to switch them, also the R button changes range on some weapons as well (Medi-Mortar, Lion Launcher, Bear Grenade), if some didn't know that. I tried to get into some nooks and crannies with Lion, but a lot of places he can't jump to, which I was a little disappointed with. Oh well.
I have all of the gears, except for the third map, and finished in every map before the turn limit is up, so I should have all of the bonuses, once I finish up 1-3. 2-1 was really fun, but kinda easy. I really kinda hate that I'm basically done with the demo, seeing as how it's over a month until release. Very cool, though, that your coins will transfer, and you get a unique weapon when you get the full game. I hope it's not just for the digital version. I keep ranking up, and I think I'm up to Shotgun Riders, right now.
All in all, I really love the game. The comic book cutscenes, were awesome. The neat little trailer that plays showing Scarecrow was cool, too. He looks to have some kind of Pumpkin mines, lol.

Of course, but it didn't feel like it helped all that much. I got bored before I had any more than two characters though.

It was a pretty fun demo. Long enough (most Nintendo demo's are terribly short), and pretty hard to. At least for me. I guess I'll buy it. It would be nice though to add a option for speeding up the enemy turns, and maybe a better camera and overview. So I can more easily spot enemies, and plan my next move! Graphics could have been better, but overall it looks like a fun game with some difficulty. Like Fire emblem of course.

The neat thing about the demo, is that you can rank up, earn coins, and eventually transfer your save with a unique weapon, giving you a headstart on the rest of the missions. The enemy turns won't be sped up, more than likely, unless you get a New 3DS. Even that is a guess, by me.
You aren't really supposed to be able to spot the enemies easily, that's kinda the way the game is made. You are supposed to position your squad, and use high ground to gain a better view of the battlefield. The game makes you work to get a leg up on the aliens. It's done on purpose, really, to add tension.
Graphics, well...it's the 3DS. Art style, however, I personally love.

You took all of the words right out of my mouth. I guess people that aren't use to these types of games don't have the patience to play them. It is a strategy game after all and most I know take time to plan.

To be fair, I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and I would LOVE to have the option to speed up enemy turns, since when you're grinding the same maps it can get very repetitive. So I can totally understand waiting 30 seconds for every enemy turn getting agrivating after a while, even for those who are used to this stuff. Even Fire Emblem offers the ability to turn animations off, thus speeding up battle considerably, if you so desire...

Yeah, I guess you are right. By the way, this game is much more about stealth then Fire emblem. Wich is good, because that makes it different.
Finally got round to playing this demo. An interesting but fairly average game so far. Good ideas and well-put together game but the art style leaves it without much sense of identity and the gameplay is just no way near as fun as Fire Emblem.
How does this compare to Valkyria Chronicles then?

That was a noticeable issue with the original FFT as well. Ridiculously long-winded with no option to skip. And each action took about 3 keypresses for each 1 keypress in Fire Emblem.
