Did you know that you can play the demo version while waiting for Final Fantasy XVI to release? If you’re impatient to try the newest Final Fantasy installment, you can head on over to the PlayStation store and download the demo to try it out. The demo allows you to play as Clive Rosfield for a while and gives you a chance to test out the game’s new combat system. You may be wondering how long is the FF16 demo and can you carry over your progress. We’ll answer those questions in this article.
How Long Does It Take To Complete Final Fantasy XVI Demo?
The demo for Final Fantasy 16 can take between two to four hours of gameplay. This depends on how quickly you rush through it, or alternatively, how much you look around. It’s also possible that it may take longer if you have to load saves after defeat.
The demo will introduce you to the new combat system in Final Fantasy 16. You will play as an older and younger version of Clive and visit a few locations in Valisthea. Namely, you’ll get to see Clive’s family castle, Phoenix Gate, and a goblin-infested swamp.

- Titanic Clashes – When rival Dominants come head to head, epic battles between their Eikons ensue
- Eikonic Action – Clive utilizes the powers of multiple Eikons in breakneck battle
- English (Subtitle)
With the big focus on the new combat system and its mechanics, it’s a good thing that the demo culminates in a big battle. You will even get a chance to challenge a few bosses over the course of the demo.
And even after you’ve completed the story portion of the demo, you can head back and try Eikon challenges. These can be replayed indefinitely, so there’s plenty of opportunity to sharpen your skills for the real deal.
Does the Final Fantasy 16 Demo Progress Carry Over?
The answer to this question is twofold. You will be able to carry over a part of your progress from the demo, but not all of it. Specifically, your progress from the demo’s story prologue will be carried over to the released game, but your Eikon challenges will not transfer over.
