The file size for the demo clocks in at an impressive 7.6GB giving players access to the first chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake, the familiar Mako Reactor 1 bombing mission.

Here is an overview from Square Enix:

In FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, players will be drawn into a world where the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation, controls the planet’s very life force. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to an anti-Shinra organization calling themselves Avalanche. The first game in the project is set in the city of Midgar, and is a fully standalone gaming experience designed for RPG players that crave unforgettable characters, a powerful story and the ability to choose their style of play with a battle system that merges thrilling real-time action with strategic, command-based combat.

The demo features three different modes, consisting of Easy, Normal and Classic for those who want turn-based gameplay.

One thing to note is that the progress of the demo will not carry over to the full game upon release. Also as a bonus, players who download the demo from 4/10/2020 - 5/11/2020, will receive an exclusive theme when the game launches. Final Fantasy VII Remake is in development for PlayStation 4 with a launch date of 4/10/20.

We are nearing the home stretch and I cannot wait to explore Midgar once again.
