Following the arrival of Mistwalker's turn-based RPG Fantasian NEO Dimension on the Switch earlier this month, Square Enix has now released an eShop demo for the game.
This demo will allow you to not only try out the game but also carry any save data you have over to the full game if you decide to continue your adventure. If you do go ahead with this, a "save data transfer check" will take place when you boot up the main game.
In our review on Nintendo Life, we noted how the Final Fantasy creator's JRPG was a love letter that both delights and frustrates - awarding it seven out of ten stars.
"Sakaguchi admits that he was inspired to make Fantasian after replaying Final Fantasy VI on stream, reminding him how much he loved the genre. We’ve waited over three years since the two-part Apple Arcade release, but now console gamers can experience Sakaguchi’s ambitious project with FANTASIAN Neo Dimension, a game with flashes of brilliance – including a beautiful world and rewarding combat – held back by uneven pacing, brutally long encounters, and a lacklustre story."

If you're on the fence check this out! I'm 20 hours in and loving it.
@TCKuma came here to say the same thing! I’m 5 in and I’m thoroughly impressed and enjoying it.
Maybe its just me but it seems like putting out demos before a games release or at least at the same time would be the way to go to get more sales...not a month later.
Nice, I'll try this on switch then, already tried it when I had apple gaming subs but I want to play this on console rather than phone 😃
I might try the demo and see if I like it, but as my backlog is currently huge, I doubt I'll find the time with so many more games screaming for my attention.
@Agenerationofgens That's not necessarily true, this might tide over many more people who are on the fence about buying it and this is just a different marketing approach. A lot can be said for either case.
Love to see this getting a demo for those potentially interested (not me just because I already have the full game) and even more so considering that you can carry over your save data according to the article and that it's a pretty hefty one based on comments here!
Glad to see there's a demo now. Was one of those on the fence. Very curious to see how this compares to other FF games. Some of the reviews give me pause, so a demo is perfect to help decide. For me, I'm still waiting to get DQ III since I put it on the Christmas list. Tuesday can't come fast enough!!! So, I'll be preoccupied soon enough.
I’m not the only one that sees Nier every time I see the poster right? I have seen it so many times know yet I still keep getting fooled.
@Snatcher the designs are pretty similar 😅.
@TCKuma Right? Like I thought it was like a spin-off crossover game or something lol. No disrespect to the game of course, I just can’t believe I mess up every time I see him lol.
Nice, I'll see if it's something i want to play sooner than later.
