Okay, Daniel is right, and the reason is that a game demo is supposed to be a somewhat interactive advertisement. But videogame demos ARE netorious for sucking. The FFVIII example was a great one Pinky. I, personally, have never played the demo and admit that I have little ground to stand on. But Joe the Intern, my evil colleague, has. I trust his opinion over anyone here's 100 to 1. He said that the demo clearly exibits the basic gameplay controls that were so controversial the first time around, and now much simplified. He almost mentioned that it was obviously based around the fine graphics and 3D environments. All in all, its not a "HEY, BUY THIS GAME CUZ WE'RE GONNA SHOW YA EVERY DAMN THING BECAUSE WE DONT EVEN THINK THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO CHECK IT OUT AND DECIDE ON WHETHER YOU REALLY LIKE IT OR NOT" demo. It's a "Hey, we're those guys that you kept seeing but never seemed to make your cut and we're back better than ever; and if you ever played the original and didn't like it, than you can see that we changed to fit your specifics: easier controls, 3D, great graphics, and we still havent lost the gameplay, storyline, and loveable characters that you might have enjoyed."
