Are you guys serious? You don't have to watch 17 playthroughs, nor could you if you wanted to anyway, as they won't be live-streamed. The audience at gamescom isn't the same for 5 days straight, you know that, right? It's always someone new passing by the SE stage everyday and they have different YouTubers to cover several fan bases.
Also, no, not everyone has played the demo (look at the Type-0 sales).
The fact that Square Enix thinks showing months and months old demos to a huge public audience is concerning. It's a demo with limited variety in enemies, no magical abilities, atrocious performance and so on. How is that putting your best foot forward to people who may have never seen the game before?
I really would have expected a new area and demo of an updated build to be shown on the show floor Gamescom considering they passed on E3 this year.
