I don't know who told you that but they were definitely talking out of their butt.

or maybe I got that mixed up with you can't get the 3 seeds once you have the real game.

I was trying to beat the demo during this past sale, but was 1 dungeon short, and bought the game during the last hour of the sale.

I beat the demo, installed the game, and was able to use my save. I had 3 seeds of skill in my inventory (don't think I had any at the time of beating the demo) and got 3 more from rewards, and 5 from the DE bonus. Apparently you can farm them fairly easily later in the game anyways, so it doesn't really matter.

Did you download the demo before buying the game, or after? Because I definitely played like 2 hours to finish the demo after buying, but not installing, the game. I think the note on the steam page is causing some confusion:

"*NOTE: Due to the way Steam works, you will be unable to continue to play the demo after purchasing the full game.
Please be aware that if you purchase the full game before completing the demo, you will no longer be able to receive the completion bonus from the demo."

The note is seemingly false, at least in my experience.

Yeah the steam note doesn't help. That's where I remember it from. Figures.

And nope, I'm over 1k hours invested in the real game. I just got curious about the demo and how it works. Not gonna play it of course. 3 seeds is pretty much nothing (you can dupe them and turn them into 6 later, lessening the endgame grind somewhat, but that's it).

Wait, is that a typo? Sounds like you have 11 instead of the 8 that I think you should only have. How did you get the first 3?

3 were in my inventory when I loaded the game, 3 were in a reward, and then a separate 5 were in the Deluxe Edition reward. I think you get 3 from playing the demo and carrying over your save and another 3 from beating it? I read in another topic that another guy had 11 and couldn't figure out where 3 came from. I was managing my inventory pretty well and sorting it fairly regularly, and the first 3 were at the very end of my item list, so I'm pretty sure it spawns them when you load the save game data.

I still have the demo installed and a save file that I didn't beat it with, I can try loading it in the regular game really quickly and see if it gives me 3 skill seeds just for playing.

interesting, so you actually get 6. Which nowhere on the internet has info. Only people that played it thru know.

Duping 6 gets you 12. Which isn't bad at all. As 4 of the characters need 12 skill seeds to max their panels at lv 99 (the Yuusha needs 14, and the remaining characters need less for some reason).

Lessens the endgame grind a bit, but still, nothing you'll miss out on if you don't have it.

It seems you need to beat the demo to get any rewards. The save game I have before beating it isn't marked as (DEMO), but obviously only exists in the demo save area. That being said, my save file is from 20-30 minutes before beating the demo, and I have 0 skill seeds, so I'm pretty sure it just shoves the first 3 into your inventory when you load a save file that's cleared the demo.

I didn't even see the definitive edition rewards, so unless they're only redeemable once or something, continuing a save file from the demo without actually finishing the demo might mess them up somehow. I don't really feel like playing through that file to test it out, though.
