A demo of the game was playable at the Nintendo conference. Seems like the embargo is up and we should start getting some impressions. One is up so far.

Here's what I could gather from Google Translate.
- 1st half of dungeon just Elza and Yuris
- C button for gathering spell
- If enemies hit your spellcasters it interupts their spell casting
- Can switch between Elza's bow/sword at any time
- They used Elza's bow to take out an enemy witch who was hiding behind a wall and healing all the enemy characters
- Yuris can blow up the bridge over the enemies with a magic spell, destroying them. Per a tweet from V-Jump last week, you can get killed if you're under the bridge when it is destroyed.
- Sieren and Quark join for the 2nd half of the demo
- Melee gameplay is crisp and refreshing
- You use the control stick + A to dodge enemy attacks
- You automatically do normal attacks by pressing the control stick towards an enemy
when you have a sword equipped and are in range.
- Lots of normal enemies fighting alongside the boss characters at the end of the demo
