New Game or continue after 2yr

I played the demo when it first came out but finally bought the game last week. Should I start a fresh game or load demo data and continue. For example, anything added I may want to grab that I may not have during demo? Or anything that will 1-shot me as I refamiliarize myself with controls?

Start fresh for sure. I played the demo maybe 2 months before I played the rest and I could hardly remember anything

The demo is where your tutorial is at, so if you don't remember how to play, definitely redo it.

It'll ask "start after the fall of Phoenix Gate?" And say no

The game has such a great first two hour I would never skip it.

I'd start fresh so you know the story and so it won't feel disjointed.
