Although Creator/SquareEnix has said nothing of the sort, there are many rumors that this demo's characters or story may make it into a future installment in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series. In particular, it really hasn't escaped notice that the "minister" looks almost ''exactly'' like one of the central villains from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'', that the displayed technology levels (not to mention the general visual design) of ''FFXV'' and ''AP'' are virtually identical,[[note]]never mind the fact that Luminous was developed in no small part ''for FFXV'' after the failure of Crystal Tools,[[/note]] and that the known playable team to date for ''FFXV'' has neither any dedicated spell-casters nor, more infamously, any women. While Agni joining the team might introduce [[TheSmurfettePrinciple a different problem]], it would still neatly solve both those issues.

* UrbanFantasy: The setting combines magic and a setting that wouldn't be too far out of place in the modern Middle East, complete with modern firearms.

The demo shows a very short story starring the title character, Agni. A group of mages performing a ritual around a crystal come under attack by aggressors bearing modern firearms. Their leader is shot and killed, but he passes on a smaller crystal to Agni, who escapes the massacre. She flees into the city, pursued by mutated dogs, and completes the ritual to summon a dragon to save her. The clip ends with Agni dismounting from the dragon and viewing a city in the distance.

** Summon magic in general, and a dragon summon in particular. It may even be Bahamut.
** Healing potions and a red mage.
** The potion is shown in a Coke-shaped bottle, which may be a simple example of BlandNameProduct ''or'' a reference to ''Final Fantasy''[='s=] various cross-promotions with Coca-Cola.
** The summoned dragon is wrapped in colorful scarves and beads, which may be a reference to Creator/YoshitakaAmano's SignatureStyle.
