I haven't finished the demo yet. But here are my thoughts.

Pros:
 * I like the combat system, simpler than i thought. More immediate than Pokémon.
 * Using the monsters that you've hunted for years is really aprreciated.
 * Navirou isn't that Annoying TBH, but so far Chef Omna is my favorite character, simply because he speaks in rhyme.
 * As so far, The plot is quite interesting.
 * Interesting Cel-Shading graphics, at least for Charasters and Monsters, enviroments are a bit less inspired texture-wise.
 * Good BGM.
 * Some features *needs* to appear in the main series.
 * The gameplay reminds me a bit of the old RPG games for GBA, (Breath of Fire for example)

Cons:
 * Beside an important cutscene the first 20~30 are boring as f***.
 * Unstable FPS, i think that it ranges from 60 (like Velocidrome or Arzuros Kinships) to 20 fps (Egg Hatching scene).
 * The gameplay is a bit slow (at least for now).
 * Lillia, shut the f*** up! You talk too much and you're worse than how Navirou was described by his haters!
