I was going to write my thoughts on the Project Octopath Traveler demo…

…But just this morning Square-Enix released a video where they address all the complaints I had (slow travel, dull colors, poor visibility… they even made it harder to save over your files like I accidentally did with my Olberic clear) and then some.
