Final Fantasy XV's demo now patched to version 2.0

As previously announced by Square Enix in one of their 'Active Time Report' streams, Final Fantasy XV's 'Episode Duscae' demo has today been updated to the promised version 2.0, incorporating a variety of changes into the early look at the much-anticipated game.

Many of the changes are based directly on fan feedback recieved in the wake of the first version of Ducae, while others incorporate previously promised features for the first time. Here's a check-list of what to expect, plus some first screens of Duscae 2.0 below. It's a free upgrade and is out now - but the demo is still only available via a download code included with copies of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.

  • Added cooperation attacks that come from ally suggestions.
  • Guarding just before being hit by an enemy attack will no longer consume MP.
