This literally has Pro in the name, it IS the Pro model. I imagine they want to get some devs working on this and sell it as a high-cost proof of concept, with more mass-market models further down the line.

Not really. I didn't hate him as much as some characters coughZidanecough but I didn't find him endearing like a lot of people did.
I am working my way through all the FFs and will give IX a fair shot when I replay it, my opinion may have changed. I don't think I have played it since it first released.
30/70 maybe? The pacing has actually felt totally fine, I don't think there has been any moments where I felt the cutscenes were dragging out too long or dungeon sections went on for too long.
IX and XIV. IX had good elements, but I just actively disliked the entire cast of characters. I totally get why people can like it though. but it is really hard for me to get over the fact that there wasn't a single playable characte rI liked.
XIV I should love, I like MMOs and FF both (and I really liked XI), but there were a few design choices that really held it back for me. I could go into a whole essay on my issues with it if you really care. Honestly I don't even hate XIV, just don't actively like it really.
I can only speak to the portions of the game I have played so far ( I just finished Main Mission 13, maybe 5-6 hours in total) but it's very linear so far. Each area is basically a straight path you follow, I honestly haven't even found many places where you can diverge from the path just for extra treasure or the like.
It could very well open up more later on like XIII did, but it's not open at all so far. There is a side quest system that could definitely lend itself to more of an open-world exploration feeling. I only have seen two sidequests that are given to you when that system is first introduced, so I can't speak as to how common they are yet.
I would need to go back to remember exactly, but were those Triune cultists or Lilith's cultists? Triune cultists originally worship the Three Prime Evils. Actually, the original form of the Triune cult worshipped the Primes without knowing they were evil.
I believe at some point Lilith co-opted the remaining Triune cultists into her order, they would probably still hold reverence to the original Primes in addition to her. I don't think the average cultist would have been aware of the rivalry between her and her father. If anything, they'd probably see her as being the Daughter of Hatred a kind of blessing.
I have definitely met people who said they didn't like JRPGs and weren't interested in trying X new JRPG coming out.
But that is because they didn't like the genre, not because they had any negative feelings towards Japan or Japanese game devs. Nobody likes every genre, and that is exactly why having genre labels is a good short-hand.
I don't like FPS games, that doesn't mean I have any particular ill-will towards people or companies who make them. It doesn't matter how good a new FPS is, I probably won't like it.
Not sure if it was a worldwide thing or only in my country, but there used to be a Coke/Coffee blend we had here. It sounds terrible but I absolutely loved it, they stopped carrying it a year or two ago though.
Ketchup-flavored pringles is also apparently not a common thing in other countries, but it is the best flavour.
I definitely have some concerns after the demo, but it isn't going to stop me from playing a new FF. No expectations for where it will rank for me in the series as a whole, but it is pretty likely I will at least enjoy it. I think there has only been two FF games I have ever not enjoyed.
I am in Japan and have no issues with tap water here, used to drink it regularly.
I live closer to Mt. Fuji now and go get spring water from the mountain weekly instead. There's a basin at a shrine nearby that collects it and is free for people to take. No issues with the tap water, but this water tastes a lot better.
