The demo allows you to experience the beginning of the game, including exploring the first four dungeons, the ability to unlock seven Archetypes classes, and the opportunity to meet six followers.

All achievement progress from the Prologue Demo will also carry over to the full game if you decides to carry over your demo save data. Achievements are not unlocked immediately when loading save data from the demo, the conditions need to be achieved once more into the full game to get unlocked. For example, one of the achievements is "No Mercy". If you finished 50+ battles with no damage in the demo, then the next time you achieve a no-damage battle in the full product, this achievement will get unlocked.

Achievements with completed progress including story-based achievements will unlock automatically when the next story-based achievement is unlocked.
