hmm...IMO its spoilt by being one of those turn based final fantasy like games, i was hoping to run around in real time when i saw that video and slice through my enemies, it looks ok but spoilt by turn based
better than being filled with metrosexual fanboy/girl dreams with about as much personality as cardboard that SquareEnix keeps pumping out. i'm hoping this game, along with MistWalker's other game Blue Dragon, push them up and possibly above Squeenix, just because Hironobu was the only person who could get the FF series right
I'm getting it, naturally. Can't wait for this game, if there's one thing the 360 lacks it's good RPGs, and I've been a fan of turn-based/J-RPGs for a long time.
It looks almost cliche. Which isn't necessarily bad. But the combat, story, etc. all seem ripped from earlier games, just with updated graphics and a new world. If you like JRPG's, then cool, this is another solid offering. But reading through the articles and watching the videos, I can't say it did anything for me. There either needs to be an amazing story (Mass Effect, for example) or some superb gameplay elements (Oblivion, for example) for me to down another 50+ hours into an RPG these days.
Anyway, the trailers are cool but there's a lot to be said for gameplay elements over cool looking swords. Also, mixing medieval and tech in games can be done (FF series) but generally gets the from me...I lose my suspension of disbelief when, say, my dude is fighting a Star Wars-esque tank unit with a big sword and leather armor.
Cool, I've kept an eye on this game for a long time. I think I am getting it, the GT review talked about them not doing anything really new, so we shouldn't expect it either, but that doesn't really count for me as I have played no JRPGs other then Pokémon. So I think this could be a nice step into the world of J-RPGS.
completely agree. it does look like redone games stuck together. personally what i find retardeda bout this game is it has short stories, instead of cutscenes. so no cutscenes about his past, just blocks of text. im gonna get the game, because i can lol, but i think realtime rpgs are better
