when the vid first started i thought ..."hmm this looks slow" by the end of the vid i was convinsed this was a game for me great looking anyway. PLEASE bring more of these onto the market. i took a big gamble buying a 360 as still more games come out for the ps2 i wont than the 360.

ok

I've played the Japanese version of this game and it is horrible. The battle system is garbage but the storyline is even worse (not to mention the constant random battles about every 5 steps). I can't wait when all the little fanboys get disappointed. Xbox 360 will never get a good Japanese RPG game.

It will have a small market

While "eww" may not have liked the game, i personally got a kick out of it. Just take the "Legend of Legaia" series, and add in the tactics system of "La Pucelle: Tactics" (or any other tactics rpg for that instance), and you'll have what is fairly close to this game. Sure, the story may be watered down. Depending on how many RPG's you've played, you may be embarassed as to what they're trying to sell you. As i mentioned above, the game (to me), feels a lot like "Legend of Legaia", not only for it's story, but for it's combo game-play (the battle system isn't exactly the same however). If you liked the story in that game, (or even "Legend of Dragoon"), you MAY like this game. In the end, no one will be calling this a "ground-breaking, genre-making, must-buy game for all ages". Fact is, the game is only sub-par in relation to other games in it's genre, and will only sell due it's it's "exclusivity" to the 360 market. 7.1/10.
