Square Enix's colourful RPG Visions of Mana is just a month away at this stage, releasing on both PS5 and PS4 on 29th August. If you caught the recent deep dive gameplay trailer, you may be willing that date to come faster so you can play the darn thing. Well, you're in luck — you can play a demo version of the game right now.
The free playable demo for Visions of Mana is available now on PS Store. The PS5 version comes in at about 12.7GB, and will likely be slightly more on PS4.
So, what's in it? The demo comprises a cut-down version of a chapter early in the game, giving you a taster of the story, exploration, and combat from the full experience. Progress in the demo doesn't carry over to the full game, but you are rewarded for playing it; when you boot up Visions of Mana proper, you'll gain access to three weapons for player character Val. These include Gladius, a small sword, Falx, a great sword, and Horn Lance. Each can only be equipped once you unlock certain element classes during the adventure.

Square Enix is not perfect, but their commitment to releasing (substantial) demos is admirable. Are they the best at it in the modern era?
I don't see it in the EU store, it's crazy you can't just search for demos properly on PSN store.
EDIT: Nvm, found it on PSN EU store on PC, weird it's not showing up for me on the PS5.
@Legacy2K If it helps, there's a demo section on the console PS Store. From the home page of the PS Store, just scroll down and
