There are parts of the demo you cannot skip, but you can skip a lot of it to speed up your progress. It is possible to skip cutscenes during this process if you are pressed for time.
You can skip the rest of this area after visiting Cloud’s mom in Nibelheim. This includes visiting Tifa’s house and playing her piano.
The first battle Cloud will face will be against the Insectoid Chimeras on Mount Nibel. Once you take them down, you will be prompted to skip Cloud’s battle against Sephiroth in the demo.
Then you have a few cutscenes to skip after that. The cutscene where Sephiroth destroys Nibehlheim and kills its mayor is not available in the demo, but you should not skip it. There’s a follow-up scene to this scene in the main game.
