this is good news

BD is all good and nice...but Akira Toriyama inspired characters just don't cut it for me.

the 360 is in desperate desperate need for good RPGs

djinn, faster get this man...i want

sigh bout time...

First impressions:

the minute the game starts, there's a familiar feeling that welcomes you

it is something that was severely lacking in Enchanted Arms and Blue Dragon and now finally, Xbox360 owners can finally say this;

"We have a decent J-RPG for our console,"

Although not spectacular, compared to the empty Enchanted Arms and forced Blue Dragon, you can finally feel the sense of wonder and imagination which was put into this game by real Japanese developers who are known for their wondrous balance between gameplay and storyline.

The graphics are simple but solid. Characters are beautifully cell-shaded with almost no sign of polygons, proving that you don't need an Unreal Engine to flex High-Def graphics. Environments are anything but bland and dull, although greater detail would have been appreciated.

Gameplay is still to be judged. So far I can say the intro was long-winded enough to remind me of the Xenosaga days.
Letting me begin with a female character who uses a 'pretty' umbrella as a weapon reminds me of the stale and sour taste I had when playing FFX-2. I only hope the lead (and male) character comes in soon.

On a side note, the names of the towns and places are hilarious. I don't know if the developers realized how silly it was when translated to english.

There's a place called RETARD-dando. (Although spelled as Ritardando)

this game isn't getting the attention it deserves

it's being overshadowed by Ass Creed and Ass Effect

BUMP FOR JRPG
