It's hard to call Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae a "demo." Most demos consist of a few short levels, possibly followed up by a trailer. Final Fantasy XV, by contrast, basically set players loose in a massive section of its grandiose world.
Of course, there's a good chance that the area fans played through will be completely different whenever the final version is released — but the Episode Duscae demo was basically a huge, open-world look at an unfinished Final Fantasy XV.
"Unfinished" is the operative word: Square Enix made sure fans knew they were playing a game that wasn't quite ready, and that there would probably be some pre-release weirdness in the demo. They were right: framerate issues and other glitches were prevalent in certain areas of the demo — but most fans seemingly ignored said issues. Sure, some people complained — but the majority seemed content to keep playing more Final Fantasy XV.
That's why Square Enix's latest announcement comes as such a surprise: instead of simply moving on and completing the core game, the team behind Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae will be releasing a Version 2.0 sometime in June.
While these questions remain unanswered for the time being, fans probably won't have to wait much longer for further information: Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae Version 2.0 is set for release sometime in June.
