Final Fantasy Type 0 releases today I believe and it should be accompanied by a demo for FFXV. That should mean more news as the days go by and the general public gets a chance to play the game.

Yeah, totally true. On Type 0, I've been looking out at the reviews and it's generally getting around 8/10 or just over from the major sites and places. To summarise what I've generally heard, the flaws are it's got a pretty weak/confusing plot in the game, is mixed in the HD update (some things look really good, others much less so) and the camera is pretty awful. On the positives, the action gameplay is generally excellent, the characters are likeable and often very good, the music is great and the general design of the game is meant to be really good (i.e. having cool activities to do even when not in missions).

Basically sounds to me like that the game is what I was expecting. It's meant to be good, very good even, but is a game made for portable games machines (it was originally made for the PSP). So while it would have been amazing on PSP or even on the PS Vita, on the new generation consoles its flaws are more noticeable, as it's not designed for them. I will probably get it though at some point.

On Final Fantasy XV, I've followed some comments and generally it sounds like people are really into it, though mostly so far the response is people being just happy to be playing it. That said, videos have come out showing off the summon in the demo and it's totally insane and cool. It gave me goosebumps watching it and gave me the same sort of feeling I had when doing a summon back in FFVII through to FFX.

Here's a video of it, though if you are going to play the demo, then you might want to wait:
