Does the FFXVI Demo Data Carry to the Main Game?

Yes, your save data from the Final Fantasy XVI demo will carry over to the main game once available, so just sit back and enjoy a test of what many —including me personally— consider to be one, if not the favorite to win Game of the Year. The data from the Battle Demo will not carry over.

Is the Final Fantasy XVI Demo Available for PS4?

Unfortunately for all who planned on playing both the demo and the full game on their PS4s, Final Fantasy XVI is being developed and will be released exclusively for the PS5.

With that said, although the game will be a PS5 exclusive at launch, it is very likely that the game, like Final Fantasy VII Remake INTERGRADE, will become available on PC a few years after its release.
