I guess you're right about getting used to the loading screens - I usually don't mind a loading screen every once in a while but I think the demo had too much of them. Hopefully it's less in the release version. I think I'll have a look for some actual (japanese) gameplay movies to see how it works out.

Well, I actually got the chance to play the demo and was a bit let down.

Though graphically impressive, the areas were all very small and connected by loading screens. The controls felt clumsy and I really missed some sort of locking feature.

Maybe it's just the demo not doing the game justice, but I was going to buy this on launch day and after playing the demo I'm not really sure about that anymore.
