Took me - I think - about one or two hours or so at the first playthrough.
Maybe I'm a slow reader, don't know, or I was just taking my sweet time figuring out how the battle system works.
The second playthrough - I like the battle system, although it's far to easy in the start (hope it get's much harder later) - just took me 10 minutes or so - only battles, just skipped the text.

that is  really is short for a trial

I've played shorter demos and they're supposed to leave you drooling for more, not to let you play a great part of the game for free.

I was surprised it took me so long to finish it.
Expected to be "set free" after 20-30 minutes.

not that it applies here or anything 

Our trials are a bit different from the official ones.

indeed, nothing like unrestricted "demos"

just wondering if the battles get any harder than they are in the demo

Indeed it is felt really short.

I hope so...
I found it harder to lose than to win... and yes I tried losing just to see what happens when you do

So what happened? To lazy to do it myself

I tried it in the battle where you have 5k Soldiers and the enemy 25k
After I lost every soldier i got the question to try it again.
By clicking yes I got 1.5k additional soldiers.
By clicking no I was sent back to the Title Screen.
I think I didn't even get a Game Over screen.

Kouryuu  just confirmed the main game is being delayed
"We're planning to announce the new date soon, we're just trying to get the last report in first so that when we do announce the new date, there won't be anymore delays to it at all.

And while I'm glad to see all the volunteers to be testers--it's not a lack of people so much as people who can get the job done on time. We still have a few other potential testers lined up at the moment, though.

That's not good for them.

seeing as KM is a big game, delays are expected, just hope they dont turn into jast with a whole stream of constant delays
