You can transfer your demo save to full game.

[Evilnapkin]

The game doesn't do it for you which is why they say it isn't supported. But you can manually transfer your demo save to the full game save storage location after launching it once and carry on from were you left off.

Confirmed by those who got early access.

do you by chance know where the demo saves your save file for future refrence? have been holding off on playing the demo due to the fact it didnt transfer over, but if it does id love to get a head start

Your save should be in Documents - My Games - Final Fantasy XV playable demo

I checked my data and it seems to have saved it to-

Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XV Playable Demo/Steam/bunch of random numbers/savestorage/system

When the full thing is out I guess copy that file to the main game's save location and bam.

Do you think this could cause issues though? Saves can be really finicky. Maybe I'm just paranoid from Bethesda games and their saves.

This isn't a Bethesda openworldeverythinghasaflagandleadstobloat situation.

says when you first start the demo that the progress does not carry over.

This could be problematic however, because of all the bonus items you get upon starting a new game. Don't take my word for it, but I highly doubt you'll get the weapons, costumes and all that if you somehow manage to load your demo save in the full game.

Because they were too lazy to implement a save transfer system. It's been confirmed that if you do it manually it works.

There could be other things tied to the save file as well, and it may be why they discouraged it to begin with, more testing is needed, and good luck.

The guy on Chapter 11 now used the demo save and hasn't had any issues. The DLC would pop into games in progress if you bought it later on the PS4. If it doesn't load into the PC version the same way it comes down to valuing cheat codes and cosmetics over time saved, and if you care that much about the former why play it to begin with?

Good point and thanks, i was looking for that info. So i can play some FF XV right now.

Regardless of save transferring or not, you're still wasting time on a bad game.

Idk, played it on PS4, finished it, thought it was good, so don't care for opinions, sorry dog.

[Shinrin Cole]

Just a word of Warning, the demo doesn't contain everything you can find out in the open world like the final game, there could be some problems if you use your demo save.
